I would also like to add to my previous post.... sweatdrop
I'd like to recommend You've Been Warned by James Patterson. 3nodding
it's an exceptionally good book. sweatdrop I can't quite remember most of it because at that time that I was reading it, I also had Mary, Mary,also by James Patterson, and 1st to die by James Patterson as well. sweatdrop I believe I was also reading Anne Frank and many more books at the time. Which confused me terribly on mostly all of the books.
sweatdrop so, again, would anybody who has read to book add input to this post?

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley
In my opinion it's a better version of 1984 by Orwell. It takes a less political view of the futuristic downfall of man and focuses on the humanistic side. If you liked the movie "The Island" you'll like this book.
Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut
He's just a really great writer who makes you think. It's a bit out there, but most of his books are. Hey, he got put on the banned book list for Slaughterhouse Five (also a very good read). So you should give him a shot.
Frankenstein- Mary Shelly
I love the frame story and the way the characters really mirror each other in this work. It's put together very well. I'm sure most of you know what this is about.
David Copperfield- Charles Dickens
I must say that Dickens is my home boy. I love all the works that I have read from him. However they say that the first three hundred pages of this book are the best that he had written in his overall career. It's the child of his failed attempt to write his autobiography. It is by far my favorite from him.
The Dark Jewels Trilogy - Anne Bishop
This one really isn't an educational thing as it is a really fun series. It made me fall in love with her writing. She creates a world based off of magic deterimed by what color jewel you wear. Men are in submission of women. It's not an erotic book, but it's probably not safe for the young ones.
The Bakers Boy -JV Jones
Actually once you read the first one you'll go out and buy the other two just because you know they'll be great. Another fantasy set in the past that revolves around - you guessed it... a baker's boy. ^_^ The story involves three characters that are brought together for the good of the world. Also there is a really awesome bad guy who is seen in a few of her other books.

Has anyone read The Riddle by Alison Croggon? It's the first of a series of four and, so far, I haven't been able to put the books down!

The Wee Free Men by: Terry Pratchet
A wonderfully crafted book from an author who's books are guaranteed to make you laugh at some point in time. It is part of a series following a Tiffany Aching, a young girl who has just inherited her witchcrafting, the journey to save her brother, and a large group of fairies kick out of fairieland for being to drunk and rowdy; The Nac Mac McFeegle. It is part of a series followed by: A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, and I Shall Wear Midnight (to be released) in that order.

Lady Fenrys Edgar Allen Poe's work is beautiful. I'll always be a fan of "The Raven".

1984 by George Orwell. That book is down right creepy if you are into politics.
I also enjoy many of Carlos Castaneda's works like 'The Power of Silence' and 'Journey to Ixtlan'.

Pride and Prejudge
Jane Austin's play on words and unique descriptions make this book one to enjoy. Elizabeth is not a normal girl. She loves to read and makes quick judgements about people. When a rich man moves into town she is caught up with his hostile manner and cold emotions. It is a tale woven with deceit, confusion, love, money, pride, and prejudge.

Yay for Terry Pratchet I love his discworld novels to pieces. The very first I ever read was The Wee Free Men and since then I have read all his books which I can get my hands on.
 Spread Your Wings....and Fly.
