I read Flowers for Algernon as an adult. It hit me hard. I have since heard that it is read i school many places in the US.
Edit: I've only read the novel he wrote based on the short story, but I guess the short story is equally as good since it won the Hugo award while the novel won the nebula award.
I've just read the short story now for the first time.
It's amazing.
Glad you liked it
Yep, while I dont remember the book, I remember reading it
It's really good. I've recommended it to many people before and every one who read it loved it. But it kind of leaves you with a bruised soul for a while after you're done.
