And I agree with its inclusion on this list. It was one of the ones I was thinking about before I started scrolling through the list. I have a copy of "Flowers for Algernon" because the Easton Press sent me a copy recently as one of the editions in their Masterpieces of Science Fiction series. I don't intend to read it, but I did see that movie with Cliff Robertson. I've also seen the movies "The Fault in Our Stars", "The Hiding Place" and "The Book Thief", and also "The Road" a year or two after I read the novel. I never read the book when I've already seen the movie, because the movie is a spoiler.
