    If it needs to be my high school years pretty much anything Stephen King. I remember reading “The Stand” and “It” in high school so those would be my best bet.

    Leaning towards “It”. When it gets to THAT part in the caves with the kids I’ll say something like:

    “Trust me, what I have to say will be less traumatic than what Mr. King spat out in some weird cocaine high… listen…”

    Hang on, how would this work? Would my younger self see highlighted quotes of importance? Or immediately understand the message through the story morals? If my younger self is expected to understand information about my future without any kind of supernatural aid, it would be pointless

    Brave New World

    I mean, it was already prophetic. Are you saying I get to add more details to the book? Cool. Artistic liberties.
