Book recommendations
 

I recommend these couple books for you to enjoy sometime:

-Of Mice and Men
-Walk Two Moons (this is easy to read, but it's a heart-felt story nonetheless)

Neither of them are long, or hard to read at all...they're just good examples of an author writing a book a lot of people can relate to. Read them if you get the chance, you won't regret it.

Thanks for the recommendations. I recommend two books written by Steven Oppel. They are Silverwing and Sunwing. They are a pretty easy read, but great stories none the less.

Yeah I finished The Hobbit a week or so ago, and tonight I think I'll get started on Fellowship of the Rings. Catcher in the Rye is one great book and an easy read too. I would recommend that to practically anyone. As for Redwall, there's this Canadian cartoon network, TeleToon, that always shows a mini series of Redwall every now and then, always at Christmas time.

I recommend 'The Go-between' written by L.P. Hartely. Simply amazing. So simple to understand, yet riddled with complexity! A must for anyone at any age.

The Hobbit was very good...I've only read about a fifth of Fellowship, I guess I should finish reading it...

But right now, I'm going to start "To Kill a Mocking Bird"....someone here recommended it to me...you know who you are ;)

Hmm I would recommend almost any book I've read since 8th grade which includes:

-The Giver
-Romeo and Juliet
-Oedipus the King/Rex
-Hamlet
-To Kill a MockingBird
-12 Angry Men
-The Piano Lesson


The rest are mainlt short stories or poems.

I don't do much literature outisde reding on my own. Usually just the run of the mill short story. Read several of those.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a very good book, I read it this year, very, very good.

Most of the books I like to read are auto-biographies, but I haven't read any recently..

To Kill a Mocking Bird is an awesome book. Read it when I was in 6th grade.


The Giver's pretty good too. Kind of short but it has some intersting issues.

My Favorite Literature

1) Lord of the Rings (They are actually one book in 6 sections)
2) Metamorphosis by Kafka
3) Naked Lunch by Burroughs
4) The Entire "Ballad of Wuntvor" Series by Craig Shaw Gardener HILARIOUS
5) Any play by Christopher Durang
6) The Dining Room (a play by an author I forget, the best roles I've ever played)
6) Friday Night Lights (forget the author, great historical fiction about HS Football in the South)
7) Anything by Mark Twain
8) Anything by H.P. Lovecraft
9) Anything by Edgar Allen Poe - God he was screwed up :eek:

But he has to be one of the greatest writers ever.

books? yea, I read a book I think a long time ago...heh...

j/k, j/k, I try to read, but I dont do it a lot because I usually have crap they make me read for school...like the stupidest book I ever read ''Great Expectations'' God what an utter peice of ****...

''im Pip(lol, that name is so damn gay) and I jack off to Estella every second of every hour of every day...ahahahhah! I have a stupid life and my mother whips me...yay!''

sorry, maybe I got carried away...I dunno...I like Science fiction books, especially ones about alien encounters.

Like ''Communion'' about this guys encounter (its a true story) and its makes for a really good read...go read it...Its kinda old though...

Jason.. what the hell are you talking about? ;)

Forget about the book.... watch the movie, late at night... by yourself. :eek:

There is a movie too? AWSOME! I gotta find that!

I almost forgot...

Have a Nice Day by Mick Foley

I'd definitely suggest reading The Alchemist to anyone. It's a pretty short book, very easy read, but very good indeed. It has all sorts of little bits of wisdom and stories that have multiple morals (I'll let you decipher them for yourselves).

Also, even if you've seen the movie(s) both Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan are very good.

I have read The Alchemist, a very intelligent book.

Oh, another recommendation is Cat's Eye, it would just need someone wih a better understanding to read than it would take for someoe to read The Go-between.

I don't know if anybody already suggested it, but I almost forgot:

The His Dark Materials series is SPECTACULAR. They're titles in chronological order are The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and [i] The Amber Spyglass.

Very good books. About the same reading level as Harry Potter (though a bit better of a series if I may say so).

Read Animal Farm.

I greatly enjoyed the animorphs series. Probbaly not everyones thang, but still...

Im currently about half way through "The Two Towers". Much better than TFotR, if I do say so myself.

I enjoyed Jurassic Park, if you liked the movie, you'll love the book!

Another great book is 'Het Achterhuis' (probably translated as 'The Backhouse') by Anne Frank. It's the diary of a Jewish girl who had to hide from the Nazis in WWII. It really happened.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings of course.
