"The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. I loved that book and I like the way she writes.

Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt.
I read it for a reading project. It was a good book .
Here a summary from some site.

Dicey, James, Sammy and Maybeth Tillerman are abandoned by their mentally ill mother in the family car outside a mall. They walk from the eastern edges of Connecticut to Bridgeport where they have an address for Aunt Cilla, their nearest known relative. That trip is an urban survival story and the children sleep in parks and abandoned buildings, fishing and clamming when possible along the shore. Their resources are depleted, however, when two college students rescue them and drive them to Aunt Cilla's house, but Aunt Cilla has been dead for several months. Her daughter, Cousin Eunice accepts them as a duty but tries to split them up. To stay together they continue their journey to Chesapeake Bay where their mother's mother, a woman they know only as a name, lives. This leg of the trip is longer and equally arduous but, thanks to the help of some kids and a circus, they arrive at the home of Abigail Tillerman, their grandmother Gram first allows and then accepts and then loves them.
The novel is an odyssey and the main theme seems to be the importance of family ties. This is the first in a series of novels about the Tillerman family. Others include: Dicey's Song, A Solitary Blue, The Runner, Sons from Afar, and Seventeen Against the Dealer.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. I refused to see the movie until I read the book (despite being a J. Depp fan) and both were really good!

I finished Twilight during spring break. It was a good book.

have you ever had that feeling when you finished a book, and since it dosnt have a sequal you try to find another book you think you may like, but you focus too much on the book that you just read?

I love twilight i hope were talking about the same one by Stephanie Meyer (sp) :P.. there a sequal coming out sometime in August or September called New moon.

Really? I hated it when I read it for school...... That and the Yearling.....*shudder*

I finished the Janson Directive by Roert Ludlum about a month ago, and I thought it was really good. I also really liked Deception Point by Dan Brown...... Currently I'm reading the a collection of tales and poems by Edgar Allen Poe for school....... which is just a little disturbing.....

I feel exactly the same way about that book. After I first read it (which I did very quickly), I was so afraid to read another book for fear of it not being as good as Twilight. It's surprising that after almost a year of having read the book the first time, it stills remains my favorite book.
I also realized in writing a review of it one time, that Stephenie Meyer has a way or taking a book cliche' and changing it around so it's not so predictable.
So yeah, I'd recommend Twilight. Definitely.

yup..the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky

That was good. Mhm. I might read it again.. it's been a while.

Starting this week I have got to start reading To Kill a Mocking Bird so ya we will see how that goes.

I read part of it in school last year. It could have been a good book until I got assignments & grades for it, now I dislike it. Hah. School ruins everything.

The Life Of David Gale by Dewey Gram (the movie is good too!)
