I read Reading Lolita in Tehran a few years ago, and part of the appeal for me is that it shows how literature can impact real life hundreds of years after it's written for an audience for whom it was definitely not intended. I actually like The Alchemist, but that's because of the Biblical references and because I read it for the first time in ninth grade (i.e. before I got skeptical). I also loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid, and I still read it with great nostalgia. I'll have to look for The Book of Lost Things after I graduate, when I actually have time to read for fun.
