Try something in the Dan Brown series...

Da Vinci Code, Demons and Angels

Ashes of the Elements
It's by Alys Clare.
Very good, in my opinion.

memoirs of a geisha. very very good.

To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee. It's a great book.

Try some books by HP Lovecraft, great books of the horror genre.

crime & punishment or the things they carried.

yea dan brown - the da vinci code. or wally lamb - she's come undone...AWESOME book. agatha christie - and then there were none / ten little indians (same book but it has 2 titles) for mystery. umm...mei ng's eating chinese food naked. OOH Jeffrey Eugenides - Middlesex (it won the pulitzer prize award). that's all i can think of

(The) Runaway Jury

the book's WAY better than the movie

The Outsiders <--Very good book!

ok thanks.i alredy read all the happy potter series.it was ok just alittle long winded

YES! How to Kill a Mocking Bird is so good. It's not even aobut killing mockingbirds!

Anywho, if you're into rehab-suicidal sotries, try Cut By Patrica McCormick. Awesome book. It's about a girl who cut herself.

If you're mature enough, read Tithe By Holly Black. Great book if you're into faeries and Asians with Natural Blonde hair. Lol. Lots of cussing ( they say f*** in almsot every page) and two rape scenes./ Grwat plot, great story.

Cat In the Hat by Docter Sues

Sunshine by Robin McKinley. That is the best book EVER.

that book's hecka good!

well, i like the outsiders, hatchet, hp series, harrys mad , and any books that are well known.

::jerry::

House of Leaves

Invisible Man-- it will make you think.


There's coold book for entertainment I read last year called: Sloppy Firsts (not a sex-realted book) but it's really good!

yeah thats what i was going to suggest. i read that in the 8th grade

hmm... read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.. i loved that book!

oh and also, Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven both by Mitch Albom..

all of them John Bellair books are very good
Steph

OMG!!! YOU HAVE TO READ HOUSE OF THE SCORPIANS!!! it's 8th grade level alright.

i alreedy read that book it was ok(scoprians)

Mm, you're 13? Umm, Stravaganze: City of Masks/Stravaganza: City of Stars are good books... they're time travel-themed though... If you don't like that kind of stuff, I'm not sure... Sorry...

the da vinci code is very controversial, but i heard it's interesting =P

i haven't read books in foreverrrr..seems like the computer is taking up all my time..haha.

Boston Jane is a really good book...it's sad, scary, and adventure!

ummmmm... the Seiries of Unfortunate Avents (however u spell it) is good kinda childish but easy to read and easy points

Holes, Tuck Everlasting or the Giver.. all very good

you're still 13 and i dont think you'd be interested in like thick thick books unless it was extremely interesting so id say.. well i dont know if this is alright for your school since this book talks about sex in a subtle way but anyways..

the gossip girl series by cecily von ziegesar my all time favorite
a walk to remember by nicholas spark. thats what im reading for english right now
the notebook by nicholas spark
uhmm..

something by R.L. Stine? stephen king's too huuggee.

You can go read the Da Vinci Code. Or you can also read Of Mice and Men...I think.

yea i forgot about that to kill a mockingbird book...it was pretty goood! and maybe the outsiders by se hilton.

The wedding, that might be romanticy but its good! Nick Sparks is a good author

The Rule of Four Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason
(It's not on there. But it's an awesome book. :P)
Hitchhiker Series Douglas Adams
(S'on there.... Sixth grade level tho.)
Giant Series James P. Hogan
(S'on there..... Sixth grade level.)
Les Miserabes
(I spelled it wrong. -.-u Highest point value in the AR prog.)
A Spell for Chameleon
(Xanth book one.... Sixth grade level I believe.)
The Runaway Jury
(Eighth grade level.... Kick-ass book.)
The Phantom Tollbooth
(Sixth grade level....)

-cough-
That's all I can think of.....

moved to interests -> books forum

moved to interests -> books forum

yeahh those &the series or unfortunate events :D
you still do AR? i'm in sixth grade and i don't have too

I'd recommend...
The Catcher and the Rye
A Clockwork Orange (it's short, but the language might be hard to decipher. Amazing read though, and there is also a movie you could watch to go along with it)
Farenheit 451

Flowers for Algernon was a pretty good book.
I also recommend the Chronicles of Narnia series ( the whole seven; not just The Lion, The Witch, And the Wardrobe. ), they've gathered me some lot of AR points, and kept me busy for a while. :]

As well as Harry potter of course, they drag in many points as well.
Good luck on your AR. :]

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold is quite the marvelous book.

^^Yes! I liked that book, kinda sad ending though

Even though it's been 2 years, I'm willing to keep up suggestions. Green Angel by Alice Hoffman is an amazing book/story. You'll love it. Interview with the Vampire is captivating. Read it!

ohhhhh god, we got another vampire lover here.....

lol jk yen :D

Hey, sweet Did you hear they're making a movie on it? I can't say I was surprised... It was easily the greatest book of the year.

:signs divorce papers:

^lol wtf, we were never married


Ohhhhhhhhh whaaaat. I'm gonna see that mos def.

Chuck Palahniuk books are freakin crazy. Invisible Monsters was good and interesting, but it drove me nuts how it's like a collage of events. It doesn't tell the story in chronological order. It starts off like a Tarantino film. Pretty much the whole thing is about a hot model like chick who gets shot and is horribly disfigured and she's on a road trip with a transexual and an ex boyfriend and they tour houses that are for sale and steal any prescription drugs they find and stuff. It's weird, but there's more to it. Choke is crazy too but I'm too lazy to describe it now lol. They both involve sex and stuff too for all those erotic people out there. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, I heard they're adapting Invisible Monsters into a movie also, and possibly Choke

I know. It was just a symbol . I'm not a vampire lover

Oh my goodness, I like you so much. Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk is my all-time favorite book. I didn't think it was appropriate for the 8th grader.... But yeah. Much love, brother

^hahhaa man, I was supposed to read that one but I forgot to borrow it. I really wanted to read that one after Choke. I'm gonna end up buying it one of these days.

ohhh man, I just read about Survivor on Chuck's site and it says that the team behind the movie Constantine wants to do Survivor as their next film!

It's a trip. But it's like most of his books, I suppose (the whole collage-of-events thing). Of course that's what makes it so great.

I have a copy... so if you ever can't track it down... you know my username

Ok, I'll leave you alone now.

edit: Oh no! Constantine was a ridiculous movie I can only imagine what they'll do to Survivor.....

lol we'll see

and thanks, you're probably one of coolest ppl on cb

The Cirque Du Freak Series
(And this one may sound like a bore but)
You must read this play: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Wowww. There are 4 pages of topics and you can't find a book to read? Check these threads out and pick out a title that seems interesting:

I suggest reading White Fang by Jack London, Loamhedge by Brian Jacques, Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. And the Harry Potter books get you lots of AR points, if you haven't already done those.
