what is are the must read books this summer?

Question

I'm really bored that i just really have to read a book but i don't know what to read.

Answer 1

If you haven't read the DaVinci code yet, I'd say that.

For me, I usually pick books that have been made into movies. I like to read the book first and then see the movie. I'd rather be disappointed with a movie than the book.

Answer 2

Obviously this really depends on what topics you're into. But i'll just tell you a few great books i've read lately.

The city of Ember
The Lovely Bones
Tuesdays with Morrie
Kissed by an Angel
Hanging onto Max
Keeshas house
Smart Boys and Fast Girls
Sticky Fingers
Heart on my Sleeve

This is comming from a 16 yr old girl sooo. the genres do reflect that. but all of these books are great reads. i've got millions more to recommend if you'd like. :)

Answer 3

The City of Ember, Wintering Well, Becoming Naomi Leon, The Phantom Stallion series, Pride and Prejudice, ect.

Answer 4

Ya, the Da Vinci Code, yeah right. The book is stupid. All of the chapters are 2 pages long, all it is is a book for housewives to read so they can feel smart about themselves. I'd recommend The Cell, by Stephen King.
