Try "up to date" or "timeless"...

@ biohazerd87: Yeah, school can spoil every book, no matter how good it is. Talk about anyone who has had to read "The Catcher in the Rye" at school... they'll hate it. I read it myself, and I loved it.
At school, they always make the mistake of overinterpreting everything. They choose a much too academic approach, thus destroying the actual effect that the book would normally have...
well my teacher was just a bitch(as in the servant) like he was like 'oh i am liberal... so anybook i read no matter if it is about dinasors or a picture book of blues clues it is a government conspericy'... and i have nothing aginst liberals...
