I need to read a book for a school report by November. I'm a strong reader and writer but I'd like a book that I could really do a great report on.
For an idea of what I like my favorite book is "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
Any suggestions?

Well this is a fun topic! First, The Ship Who Sang (I think that was a suggestion) is by Anne McCaffrey. She is best known for her fantasy, but I really enjoyed her Crystal Singer trilogy (woman with music knowledge but not enough talent "sings" crystal for a living - great pay, but it ends up making you crazy). Piers Anthony was mentioned, and for him, my favorite is the Adept series. It's about a man with two different roles in two different dimensions. As it's been awhile since I read Crystal Singer and Adept, I'm not positive about their mature content. I'm sure there isn't anything extensive, though I think both main characters end up in relationships at some point. Someone also mentioned Uglies. This is part of a series (it was 3 - another coming out soon) by Scott Westerfeld. When you turn 16, you go from being an Ugly to a Pretty, per an operation. They change you on the outside and also, make a few changes that can't be seen. The others are Pretties, Specials and Extras. Same author wrote Peeps and The Last Days. Peeps are parasite positives, or vampires. It's set in New York. Not your typical vampire book, because it's not so much about creatures of the night searching for victims, but about why parasite positives are suddenly being created and what might be going on beneath the ground. These are YA. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned Dune yet. (I looked back and it is mentioned. There are a number of books in the series now, with his son writing it, too.) That's by Frank Herbert. A planet of sand and spice, where tears shed can be the death of you. The book is pretty powerful and the movie, well, not the best, but I still found it fascinating. Have fun!

my 14 year old just read "Children of the Lamp" and said it was a great book...he ended up with a report that was 3 pages typed when all was said and done. The book is 355 pages, but didn't take long to read as it was hard to put down.

I don't usually like reading but my freshman year of college one of my professors had me read The Heart of Darkness and it is still one of my favs!!! It is dark and full of meaning so many interesting essay topics could stem from this reading that you may actually enjoy writing. The movie Apocolypse Now was a more modern version made from this book but still very different.

If you want a book that is a smart book, read Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones. I will warn you that the beginning is very graphic though.

Well i am a huge George Orwell fan so i would have to say Animal Farm or any other of his novels and he has more than just 1984 (Bermese Days is great)

1984 or Brave New World are great books and quite scarry (not in the horror movie sense, more in the "this might not be fiction" sense).
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is one of my favorite books of all time.
