Answer 2

Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. Non Fiction book about a girl who comes from a small town and not a lot of money, who gets accepted into an elite High School.

I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe. Non Fiction book about a girl who also comes from a small town and not a lot of money. She also gets accepted into a school, only it's college. Both books are similar, but they are excellent in detail of what it can be like to be somewhat of an outsider.

Answer 3

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. It is such a phenomenal book and it really changes your perspective on Oz.

These books are also very good:
~The Devil Wears Prada
~Nineteen Eighty-Four
~all of Tess Gerritsen's books

Answer 4

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn is the one I recommend the most (it changed my life the first time I read it - basically if you have ever felt that there is something wrong with the way the "cilivized" world works this book can provide some answers)
otherwise anything/everything by Tom Robbins promises to be a lot of fun to read!

Answer 5

Something Like An Autobiography, written by A. Kurosawa and Translated by A. Bock.

I tells the childhood and early adult stories of the famous director. The title is apt, because he tells it like it was a novel. It's an amazing read, even for one who is not into biographies or non-fiction. I read it because I like the director, I re-read it because it's such a compelling story. Real drama.

Answer 6

The Eight by Katherine Neville. It's a mystery/historical novel that goes through time. A woman discovers the whole world is really a chess game.

Answer 7

King Fortis the Brave - a YA fantasy adventure about a brother and sister who have to help save a magical land from an evil sorceress.

Answer 8

Vonnegut, Kurt Jr. Slaughterhouse-Five

Or any book by Vonnegut for that matter. He writes what I consider satire - with a slant you will fin NO WHERE ELSE. If you have never read any of his books you have to give him a try! My favorite book of his is Timequake.

Answer 9

I have three
1. Wizards First Rule By Terry Goodkind
2. Green rider 2-First riders call by Kristin Britain
3. Poisen Study ..... I do not know who it is by

Answer 10

I forget the author's name, but the book is called "This much i know is true". It's about twin brothers. One is crazy and the other isn't. It is about the normal brother struggling with his feelings for his crazy twin. Only book that ever made me cry. very deep!
