It was originally a novella, but it was expanded to a 324-page novel in 1966. The novella won the Hugo and the novel won the Nebula.
He writes reports and you can see his intelligence increasing on the way he writes - from full of errors and simple phrases to nicely constructed phrases and better vocabulary.
It's sad, but adorable, and if you are interested in the problems of the mind, this is probably an interesting read.
Flowers for Algernon is one of my all-time favorite short story/novels.
Just read Flower For Algernon.
The Forever War - Haldeman
Flowers for Algernon - Keyes
The Prestige - Priest
LoTR - Tolkien
Sphere - Crichton (One of the first "real" books I read as a kid, and was my favorite for years. It isn't the best in the world, but it is an extremely fun page turner and means alot to me)
There are also three books I've read in the last couple of years that I want very badly to say are in my top five (to replace some of those listed above). But it has not been long enough for me to make a decision, and I probably need to re-read them. Those three are:
The Passage - Cronin
Cloud Atlas - Mitchell
Wolf Hall - Mantel
I'm very interested in your copies of Your Inner Fish, Anatomy of an Epidemic, and Evil Genes. I would love to be able to take all three off your hands. I have several books that I can offer you in exchange, all of which I've read and highly recommend! What I have that might match your interests are:
And seeing that you had a Steve Berry novel up for trade, I also have these two excellent Brad Meltzer thriller novels:
If any of my books peak your interests, I'd love to make a trade!
I just finished Good Omens, coauthored by Pratchett and Gaiman; it was a lot of fun.
Do you read any graphic novels? The League of Extraordinary Gentleman is a great set.
I also highly recommend the novel Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
The Postmortal
Flowers for Algernon
Water for Elephants
Interested in Nicomachean Ethics. I can pay shipping for it, but I've also got a couple books you may or may not appreciate.
Reinventing the Sacred by Stuart Kauffman.
Flowers for Algernon by David Keyes.
These have recently changed my life/perspective.
Maps of Meaning (This is the only philosophy that has deeply resonated with my own perception of reality/the world)
Untethered Soul (Mind bending, gives you perception tools to help increase your focus and will power)
Flowers For Algernon (Emotionally powerful, invoked a sense of gratitude and feeling less alone)
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up (A little more practical in nature but getting a handle of my "stuff" allowed me room and space to get a better handle of the rest of my life)
I've read The Book Thief! I really liked it. Here are some books that are similar to the Book Thief, and have changing/growing characters:
If you have any questions at all or want any more book recommendations, feel free to message me!

Some of my favorites:
I always find it hard to judge how well known a book is, but here are some I loved that I hardly ever see get any mention on Reddit:
You should give us a little insight as to what genre you like, since every reader is different. Here are a few of my favorites from some random genres.
Fantasy: A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, Neverwhere, American Gods.
Sci-Fi: The Illustrated Man, Gold.
Dystopian Fiction: The Stand, The Road.
Classic Fiction: Flowers For Algernon,
Philosophy: Thus Spake Zarathustra, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Whatever Else: Fight Club, Fast Food Nation

I loved Flowers for Algernon. A true classic.
That's a good question.
So special needs is the blanket term. For specific mental retardation the proper name is now intellectual disability.
A really good book that is a short read I would recommend on this is Flowers for Algernon. This book really gives you perspective on what it is like to be special needs.
I have been a special needs counselor for a camp for six years.
It's not about feel-goodery. It's about showing respect to others.
