Question

Wich one should I start reading?(remeber I'm 13 and only at like a 9th grade reading level) Here a couple off the top of my head I recently bought;

The swiss family robinson
robinson cruose
The magnificant ambersons
Window with a view
Emma
1984
Wuthering Heights
Dr. Jykle and Mr.Hyde
Farinhight 451
Tom Sawyar
Little Woman
Wind in the Willows

Answer 1

ohhhh definitely 1984 and faringheit 451... they are really good and will get your thinking and curious about social matters and change

Answer 2

If your "Window with a View" Room With A View by E.M. Forster...then it's probably my favorite from the list.

Wind in the Willows is good.
Tom Sawyer is good--very funny.

Emma was good--my least favorite Austen novel, but still comparatively good with other books. I love Pride & Prejudice.

Little Women was good too. I had a hard time reading it at a young age though. I kept checking it out of the library, but never got through it until I was an adult. Everytime Beth started feeling sick...I put it aside. But if you're emotionally mature to deal with death...then it might be okay for you.

1984 is good too. I remember reading it in high school.

Wuthering Heights continually puts me to sleep. But I know some people like it. But it's never been a favorite.

I hate Robinson Crusoe--hated it with a passion--that may be because my English teacher quizzed it to death. You had to have memorized every twig from the book. You had to no the smallest most impossible details. Anyway, hated it.

Swiss Family Robinson--I have two good friends that love this book--I've only read the abridged version for kids though.

And the other books I haven't read.

Other books to add to your list one day....
The Count of Monte Cristo
Frankenstein
To Kill A Mockingbird

Answer 3

~ I sujest you start with Emma because Jane Austen rocks and hopefully you will aquire a copy of pride & prejudice. I think you might be to old for wind in the willows, but still it's a very comfortable read. It depends on whether you prefer action or romance. some such as swiss family robinson has both. If you lean more for romance then Wuthering Heights and Little Woman are right up your street. ~

Answer 4

Personally I'd start with 'Wind In The Willows' then 'Dr. Jekell & Mr. Hyde' followed by 'Wuthering Heights'.

The light and gentle tale of river animals will really get you ready for the darker worlds of the other two books.

'1984' and 'Fahrenheit 451' might be a bit heavy to start off with, but are good books once you've got going.

Answer 5

I'd start with Little Women. Most of those books I have never read, but I did read Farinheight 451 in my ninth grade english class and liked it. I started reading dr. jekle and mr. hyde, but got distracted by lighter books. That one is tough. I've always wanted to read Wind in the Willows, but haven't gotten around to it. I loved the tv show when I was little.

Answer 6

Start with "Little Women" it was one of my all time favourite books. It is a great Summer Read and then you can see The Movie after. I like the one where Winona Rider plays Jo the best.
I would skip 1984 as George Orwell is a miserable over rated misogynist

Answer 7

Wind in the Willows first.
The Magnificent Ambersons last.

Emma and Wuthering Heights right in the middle.

The others by flip of a coin.

Answer 8

I adore Wuthering Heights and the Little Women....

The Little Women is a classic that should be read worldwide...it is also a famous classic....I would definitely recommend it...I loved it as a little girl and I will always treasure that story....

Wuthering Heights starts out quite confusing....but just go on and you'll start to understand....it is easy to get through that book, because you'll want to know how it ends....it is rather annoying at times, but its a really good book...I read it last summer and I consider it one of my favorite classics.....

Answer 9

Pile them up or stand them up on a bookshelf.
Close your eyes and pick two. Read the one in your left hand, and then the right hand one.
Keep doing this at the speed that is comfortable for you until you have read what you want. Your reading level will increase by reading harder works; keep a dictionary handy if you don't understand words, and surf the Internet to get more information on ideas, customs, and spelling.

Answer 10

They're ALL Classics. Maybe start with Little Women. Then Swiss Family...

Answer 11

I would definitely start with Fahrenheit 451. It's a fairly easy read and it will give you an appreciation for books (and freedom) that will last a lifetime.
