Answer 2

Harry Potter -- excellent reading! Plus it'll take some time to get through them all.

I was a big reader when I was younger and read "adult" books. Some that you might enjoy are: The Da Vinci Code, Her Sister's Keeper, Summer (the one about a horse, don't know the author), anything by Judy Blume. I would also recommend reading a few non-fiction books too, I love Ann Coulter.

Answer 3

Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is always pinned as a dorky book and series, but in all honesty, they're some of the funniest books I've ever read, and they're easy, a nice summer break read. Ask your local librarian too; they're really fantastic at recommending things that fit your personality.

Answer 4

Here are a few, not knowing what you like: The Book of Three (first book of a series), Sounder, Flowers For Algernon, The Witch Of Blackbird Pond, Witch's Sister (part of a series, very good), and The Fog (first of a series, my favorites).

Answer 5

I would recommend for you to read "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten - Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things" by Robert Fulghum. Fun without being too preachy!

Answer 6

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?

Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls.

After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge.

However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.
