The best book I read this year would have to be Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. It gave me a lot of insight into the world of spirituality and Eastern thought that I hadn't yet received. I think that it pushed me to grow up a bit and realize that I can become less of an angsty, rebellious teenager if I just quit all the complaining and worrying and focus on myself. No one else's life needs to concern me and I don't need to hate the world to be intellectually superior -- just stop caring, and laugh at the imperfections. The world itself should have no significance to me, not the material substances plaguing the people and my mother and sister and friends and acquaintances. No more focusing on the bad and easily changed parts of human society; my own existence matters, and I can affect it and change it any way I deem necessary.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Running With Scissros
So Laughable

^x2.
so far, yeah..
sadly

i want to read some other books lol
:\

Probably The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Really, really good book. I recommend it to anyone and all ages.

Blindness - Jose Saramago
The author writes in really long sentences and the story was pretty cool and dramatic.

And Harry Potter 7

Um otherwise i don't read much books >_>;;
Or I have forgotten 'em.

Harry Potter 7, The Kite Runner and The Great Gatsby

Siddhartha is a very good book

Wicked by Gregory Maguire!

Harry Potter 7 and Twilight. Yes, I know I am quite slow! I had no clue it was that good, if I did I would've read it as soon as it came out

Hm, I'd have to say Water For Elephants and A Long Way Gone.

Valley of the Dolls by Jaqueline Susann is no doubt my favorite book of 2007. I got it in the summer (I think...) before I went on a trip, and since then, I think I've re-read it more than five times.

Add another "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows" to the list.. whoo

The Sicillian, by Mario Puzo.

I also highly enjoyed The Lazarus Vendetta, by Robert Ludlum.

THE 7TH HARRY POTTER BOOK, DUH

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

The average american male.

yes i know..it wasn't harry potter..but i stand by my decision.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy (the same guy who wrote the book-turned-film No Country for Old Men)

Deathly Hallows.

And Invisible Monsters.

blue bloods.

Sphere by michael crichton
state of fear by michael crichton
hp: deathly hallows
catcher in the rye.
birth of venus
...

i could go on and on.

The Things They Carried, I forgot the author though.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, and Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman. Fun, touching, and provocative.

HIS BOOKS ARE AWESOME.

If you've read lovely bones, you should check out Lucky if you haven't as well. It's great

hmmmm Twilight. Never heard of it until last year... lol or Black Mirror.

it's a play actually..

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

and, Stephen Colbert's I Am American (And So Can You!)

I read that one too. It's by Tim O'Brien.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.

I like books that make you think; the ones that you can't see through from the very beginning. With that in mind, I think Lucas by Kevin Brooks was the best. Eclipse is a close second with The Millionaires coming in third.

Paint It Black - Janet Fitch
Come Back - Claire Fontaine
The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls


All amazing books. The first one really helped me put things into perspective about past choices. It helped me so much.

Blue Bloods/Masquerade.
Society of S.
Twilight/New Moon/ Eclipse.


That's all for now..
[=

Dragonfly. <3

In 2007? Running With Scissors, for sure.

omfg Angels and Demons, The Crucible and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
they were f***en amazing

Damnit, I read a lot of books this year, they were all for english but I enjoyed them lots.

1984, Great Gatsby, Kitchen God's Wife, Joy Luck Club, Winter's Tale

Ditto!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. =3

Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
HP and the Deathly Hallows
Somewhere In Time
uuhhh oh shit, i cant think of any more!

Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

I feel like I'm just repeating other people's books. Let's see...... Terrier by Tamora Pierce was pretty good.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, of course.

I'm with the Running with Scissors group as well. lol. Movie was slightly terrible though, but entertaining I suppose.

I don't think I'll ever pick up the Twilight series, seems too much like a sappy love story to me. I enjoy Philosophical books, as well as Science Fiction.

Yeah, anyone who has read the book cannot fully enjoy the movie.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows By: Ypu Know Who!
Call Me By Your Name By: Andre Aciman
SNUFF By: Chuck Palahniuk
