Looking for a Few Good Books!

What shall we read for the 2013-2014 BSC Campus Read?
Here are the basic guidelines:
  1. This year, we are asking for suggestions of books with a 1960s-related theme.
  2. The book must be in print and in a price range of no more than $20 per book. Hardcover books will be considered.
  3. The book should be reasonably short -- 200-350 pages.
  4. The Campus Read selection should be an engaging read that will generate lively discussion.
  5. The book should explore any of the universal themes of literature such as coming of age, abuse of power, triumph over adversity, the importance of the individual, conflicts with self, others, and nature, etc. 1960s-related themes are requested this year.
The Campus Read Committee will take suggestions through Wednesday, November 21, 2012.
 
Please send your suggestion(s) to BSC.CampusRead@BismarckState.edu or post to our blog at http://campusread.blogspot.com/

What about "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett, which takes place during the early 1960's. I believe it also touches on some of the other criteria you've posted for next years' campus read.
