    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.

        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.
