I was innately surprised with how good the Catcher in the Rye is. Allow me to explain: I read it in when I was in my adolescence and found it to be boring. Upon picking up the book recently, I came to the steady realization that it was a good book.

Another was Junkie by William S Burroughs. The book itself tells the tale of a drug addict's uncompromising descent into drug addiction. Upon first reading it I wasn't sure what to make of it, as it seemed to be reckless and all over the place. Once I gained my footing I realized there was a certain nuance to it, and a certain charm about it and ended up really enjoying the book.
