Hi I want to buy a few good books.Any suggestions?

Question

This might be a silly question....lol
I am 15 yrs old
Also do u know any website where I can read books?

Answer 1

Harry Potter, King Fortis the Brave, Chronicles of Narnia and Eragon are all great!

Answer 2

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is witty and enjoyable. If you like that, you'll also enjoy his other books.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel is another good book.

If you're interested in nonfiction, try A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. It's about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

If you're female, you'll probably also like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares.

I don't know anything about you, so I hope that some of these are books you will like. If you have specific interests, you might want to try looking for books based on those interests. For example, I'm a musician, so I really enjoyed opera singer Renee Fleming's autobiography. If you're into science, specifically evolution, you might want to read The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins. It's a tough read, and it's long, but it's good.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you like to read, fictionpress.com is a pretty cool website where anyone can write stories, and there are some pretty good stories on there. (Including mine :))
However, if you are looking for books, I have a few favorites.
1984 by George Orwell
Born Blue . . . can't remember who that's by
Earth Abides, The Giver, Gathering Blue, The Messenger, Blue Girl, The Dark Materials Trilogy also known as The Golden Compass. Those are just some of my favorites off the top of my head. Enjoy!

Answer 4

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

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?

The Vivero letter by Desmond Bagley.Jeremy Wheale's well-ordered life is torn apart when his brother is murdered by a mob hit man, whose bait was a family heirloom - a sixteenth-century gold tray. The trail takes Wheale from Devon to Mexico and the wild tropical rain forests of Yucatan. In dense jungle, he helps two archaeologists locate the rest of a fabled hoard of gold - treasure from Uaxuanoc, the centuries-old lost city of the Mayas. But his brother's enemies are on Wheale's trail, and with them are the Chicleros, a vicious band of convict mercenaries.

Landslide by Desmond Bagley.Bob Boyd wakes up in a hospital with no memory,the only surviver of an accident.He was burned badly all over and needed extensive plastic surgery which was payed by a mysterious sponser.He is told that he's a geology student with a bad history.However Bob recovers and gets on with his life.Hired by the powerful Matterson Corporation to survey land before they build a great new dam, he begins to uncover the shaky foundations of the Matterson family and becomes a fly in their ointment.His accident and the Matterson family have more in common than he thought.

Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum.Forget the movie.The book is the real article."The Bourne identity" is the story of a man without a past, rescued from the Mediterranean Sea by some fishermen. He is very ill, and his body has suffered the impact of many bullets. The man is taken by the fishermen to a doctor in a nearby island, who helps him to recover physically and mentally. Our protagonist doesn't remember who he is, but with the help of the doctor he finds some clues he doesn't like too much. He only knows for certain some things, for instance that his face has been altered by plastic surgery, that he knows a lot about firearms and that he carried on him a microfilm that contains the code to an account of four million dollars.

In the Swiss bank where the account is he also finds a name: Jason Bourne. But... is he Jason Bourne?. He cannot remember, and if it were for quite a few people, he won't. From the moment he leaves the island onwards, our man without a past will be followed, and attacked. He doesn't understand why, but he reacts in order to stay alive. Add to this already interesting mixture a woman he takes as a hostage, Marie, a number of assasins (including the most famous assassin in the world, Carlos), and the possibility that he is, as a matter of fact, also an assassin, and you will understand why this book is so good. The main character will be hunted all throughout the book not only by the "bad guys", but also by the "good" ones (mainly agents from the USA Government). You won't be able to stop reading this book, and you will find yourself asking aloud to nobody in particular "who on earth is this man?" and "what started this whole mess"?.
Warning:A character gets raped.

Answer 5

Looking for Alaska by John Green is really good. I also recommend Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card...both are coming of age stories of sorts. The first is realistic fiction about a teen boy who goes to a private boarding school in Alabama & learns some major life lessons, it's very good. And the second is a futuristic sci-fi novel where a young boy goes to Battle School in space to learn how to fight aliens & defend Earth. Both are great books...
