Books have been the foundation upon which young minds have been built for centuries. And the best books for it have got to be, without a doubt, the classics. The classics are standard, time tested pieces of literature that are enjoyed by a majority of the people who read them.
Furthermore, the classics make wonderful collectors items, and are often the subject of many college papers. It is in most teenagers best interests to set aside some time and work their way through a few of the classics, even if they do not particularly enjoy reading.
Books such as The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and 1984 by George Orwell are very important reads for the youth of today. Time has not made these gems irrelevant at all. In fact, time has most likely increased their value to society!
