Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

This classic novel is a real page-turner - it's the story of Charlie Gordon, a guy with a super low IQ who volunteers for an experiment that's supposed to boost his smarts. But here's the thing: it's not just about getting smarter, it's about what it means to be human. And let me tell you, it's a wild ride that'll keep you up all night wondering about the limits of human potential and what it means to be smart. You'll be on the edge of your seat as Charlie navigates the ups and downs of his newfound intelligence, all while trying to figure out who he is and where he fits in the world. It's a thought-provoking novel that'll make you think twice about what it means to be alive.
