Tibet Purple

Tibet Purple

Are any of these books good?

If anybody has any opinions on any of these books I would be happy to hear them. I need to pick two for summer reading. Thank you

My suggestions are The Secret Life of Bees, Robinson Crusoe, or The Color Purple.

I would avoid On the Road. I had to read it in high school and hated it. That's just my opinion though.
