Well now that we are on christmas break and I haven't read a book for fun in like, forever, I wanted to go to the store today and pick out a book to read.

I just don't know which one. I haven't read very many, so just point some out :) thanks.
So, what are you book recommendations?

Hmmm, well I haven't read that many books but I'm about half-way thru "Go Ask Alice" It's a really good book. But I guess it depends on what kind of books you're into. Also, The Series Of Unfortunate Events books are good.. I read up to the third one. Hope that helped at all..

All of Chuck Palahniuk's books are awesome:
- Fight Club
- Choke
- Lullaby (highly recommended)
- Invisible Monsters
- Survivor
- Diary
Mitch Albom is another of my favorite authors:
- Tuesdays With Morrie (best book he wrote)
- Five People you Meet In Heaven

you dont really have to ask. if you go to like a barnes and noble place and theres like a section of novels. theres so many to choose from. i always have a hard time. but i recommend "DEATH BE NOT PROUD" a non fiction. its not new but everyone is reading it now for some reason. i'm also reading it and its pretty good so far.

You should read all the books bye Ameila At-water Rhodes.. her best book that i thought was Shattered mirror... and read The Blooding by Patricia Windsor.. it is REALLY good this book is okay Look For Me By Moonlight is ok but you mite think it's better it's by Mary Downing Hahn

Ahh, I hardly EVER read, except for the occasional Harry Potter. (: But there are these romantic-comedy books by Meg Cabot (who also wrote Princess Diaries) that are uber cute. They're both similar, cause they're entirely written in e-mail form, along with notices and other forms of print, if that made sense. The two that I know of are 'The Boy Next Door' and 'Boy Meets Girl'. I like 'Boy Next Door' better than 'Boy Meets Girl', because it has a deeper plot, I suppose? But yeah, they're both nice if you want a quick read.
Or you could go with Harry Potter<3.

All Quiet on the Western Front
Lord of the Flies
Complete History of Jack the Ripper <- Quite informative
And yeah, those are just a couple to add to the list above - they're good as well. I didn't feel like repeating myself or posting a pointless post.

Hey, that PB Kerr guy came to our school! His British accent is so cool!
Back to the topic, the Harry Potter books are good. In the 5th book though, Harry Potter is so angry! It's annoying. Plus in the 6th book, all the romance is bunched up in there instead of being spread out into the other books.
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader for Kids Only is a really interesting book about your body, ghosts and stuff like that.
And I love anything by Kate DiCamillo (Despereaux, Because of Winn-Dixie)

-Lord Of The Flies
-Books from John Grisham. His stories are a little slow but an interesting read.
And I highly recomment The Rule Of Four. If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, you'll enjoy this one. And if you haven't read the The DA Vnci code yet go read it.

Sep 9 2005, 03:54 AM
here's a few good ones
The Giver-short, sweet, and one of the best books you'll ever read
Of Mice and Men-One of the ONLY books that I was forced to read for English in high school that I actually enjoyed reading
Dean Koontz novels, any book by Dean Koontz is magnificent, well crafted, his characters are rounded, funny, sarcastic, and his plots and suspense just keep me begging for more. Only thing is most of them are long, so as long as you don't mind spending a little time to read one, definitely check him out. If you want to know more, I can list some of my favorites that he's written to get ya started.

I think this might actually go under entertainment, since it doesn't have to do with school.
1) Animal Farm
2) The Catcher in the Rye
3) The Harry Potter series
4) Rosemary's Baby
5) To Kill a Mockingbird
