Extremely loud and incredibly close was a really good book. But of you're looking for more of a classic than I would suggest animal farm. The only thing with animal farm is that if you are going to read it you have to understand about communism and Stalin and Lenin and all those people if you really want to get the full meaning. But both were very good. Good luck, hope I helped:)
