<div>I need to help update a book list for an English class with more current choices. Some of the books on the past list were Room, Slaughterhouse Five, Kite Runner, Secret Life of Bees, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Help, Unbroken, Devil in the White City, The
Life of Pi and Brave New World. Any suggestions for more current books of similar quality? I have some ideas, but am probably missing a lot. Thanks. </div>
