Book of the Week

[ice_lollies]

Winnie-the-Pooh and The House on Pooh's Corner by A.A.Milne.
I know it may seem childish, but it really is a good read, and the pictures alongside (by E.H.Shephard) it are adorable. I used to read it when I was little, but now that I've gone back to it there are a lot of subtle adult ideas there too.

Watership Down

Just finished reading it. 3nodding Hooray for bunnies who kill each other.

Oh my gosh! I hated that book so much! I had to read that book for an assignment in sixth grade, I hated it so much I didn't even finish it! In fact I tried to get my other teacher to make the new sixth graders read it to torture them! The movie on it is horrible, just ewww! There are rabbits & dogs shreading each other up! The animals go psycho and get rabbies, [sp?] and it all has scarred me for life!

No offense, but how old are you? I don't ask this in a mean way, but books that I've hated as a kid, I love now. So if you're a bit removed from 6th, I'd suggest trying it again...'cause Watership Down is incredible. ...yeah, that's all I've got to say here. whee

First off, I'm kinda proud of myself that I've read most of the books on this list...(*gigantic egotistical grin)

But books to recommend?

First off, this is an incredible book about teen struggles. Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. It's a real diary. And it's incredible.

A book that I received for Christmas and am loving, is The Roald Dahl Omnibus. It's a collection of his short stories; and they are not kiddie stuff like The Witches and such.

And a book that I'm surprised hasn't made this list yet, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Not a kiddie book, but incredibly well written. However, if you know that you are not able to handle *****, do not read this!

That's all that I'm going to say, 'cause I could go on forever!

Peter Pan In Scarlet I can't seem to remember the author at the moment. It's like a sequel to the very well known "Peter Pan" I haven't finished reading it yet, but I like it alot so far.  

[Corrupted Cookie]

Definitely Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Vampires, romance, and a bit of a thriller. They're really good.

*Thinks*...
Fever
Out of the Dust
Sea of Trolls (Ummm...Nancy Farmer
and
A Girl Name Disaster
razz

I think they're all great!  

[Sighren]

I went out and bought the Hunter's Blades Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore yesterday. It gets boring around here when you've read everything more than a million times.  

[DANCING carbombs]

Acceleration... I'm reading it at schiool, it's great. It's all about serial killers...  

[PrincessPeachey]

'Night' - Elie Wiesel
'Uglies', 'Pretties' - Scott Westerfeld (and probably 'Specials', but I haven't read that yet)
'Life Expectancy' - Dean Koontz
'Losing It' - Lizzie Wilcock
Gackt, I can't remember the name of the book, but I can describe it...
An unlikely cohort of four meet on a roof as they're all about to kill themselves and they work together to turn their lives around. There's Maureen, with a disabled son, Martin, accused of having sex with a teenager, Jess, whose sister's run away, and JJ, whose band has fallen apart.
Sound familiar to anyone?  

[MyOwnBestCritic]

Hm... most of the books I was going to suggest were already on this list. I can't think of any others except Speak, and I'm not sure if I remember seeing it or not. Oh well.  

[t3hLunchbox]

I enjoy Dante Alighieri. Although I'll be old and gray before I spell his last name correctly. The Divine Comedy is a spectacular read. In addition to him, I would recommend anything by Stephen King or John Grisham. I know they are mainstream writers, but I love their work.

Silent Dagger

Definitely Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Vampires, romance, and a bit of a thriller. They're really good.

Yeah, Twilight is a very good read.
when my friend first read the book she ould not let anyone touch the book.

 

[Chaotic Element 626]

For those of you interested in science fiction, I highly suggest the Ender Wiggin series by Orson Scott Card.  

[XChinaBelleX]

I really enjoyed Good Greif by Lolly Winston. I liked it enough that I am going to send it to my mother so that she can enjoy it as well!
