Color Purple is one if the most beautiful novels ever written. Also I love The Outsiders the novel and the movie. I would be happy with either of these picks. Never read Lolita but I saw the movie and it grossed me out so I think if I read the book I may actually gag and the book should not be band.

Also didn't know Sophie's choice is a novel.
