I just finished reading my last book and it was mediocre at best. I want to read something great next. Any suggestions?
the bible
I concur!
Harriet the Spy
A Prayer For Owen Meany- John Irving
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Chabon.
Where the red fern grows
Charlottes Web
Awesome book.
Um, off the top of my head:
Invisible Man -- Ralph Ellison
One Hundred Years of Solitude -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
All the President's Men -- Woodward and Bernstein
Going After Caciatto -- Tim O'Brien
Their Eyes Were Watching God -- Zora Neal Hurston
Beloved -- Toni Morrison
But the question is like "what's the best song you've ever heard?" There's really no one answer.
Stephen King is my favorite author, and It is probably my favorite.
Is there a specific genre you prefer? There are way too many possiblities.
Because I like smut, too ... and Jackie Collins is my favorite in that genre. The is probably my favorite by her.
A Brave New World!
The Stand...
Don't have one, basically too many to choose from. It really depends on what mood I'm in at any given time.
If you are looking for something a bit oddball and kind of light summer fare I just finished "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore. It was funny and kept my interest; if only a bit twisted.
During my transition summer to my Jr year of HS, for my AP US History class you had to read a book of a list and do a little project for it as a part of summer HW and I chose that book. I didn't really read it and I just BS'ed an essay, but it had something to do with black people. My teacher said it was a good book and I said I agree.
I don't read that much, but when I read Jurrasic Park by Micheal Crichton, I liked it, same with The Hobbit.
Picture of Dorian Gray is excellent. Or for a nice challenge, you could read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
The Kite Runner
It's thought provoking and suspenseful...
I really dont like Toni Morrison.
I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo and just got done reading 1984
1984 is a weird ass book. But I still liked it. The Count of Monte Cristo just plain lost me. I understood like the first 1/3 of the book, but the rest of the way I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
that book is for like 7th graders
who reads books anyway?
Who reads books anyways?
r U in'e ed?
That book is awesome...The Stand...
it's actually an elementary level book, but who knows where you are. one of my personal favorites is A Confederacy of Dunces. Hearts in Atlantis is also pretty good, especially the first two stories. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - Portnoy's Complaint - Like Shoog said, too many to name, i could go on and on.
