Answer 3

two good books to read are Twilight and New Moon written by Stephenie Meyer. It is a story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. Very, very, very good books. Here is what the summery of Twilight

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger.

For New Moon

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning...

Answer 5

C.S. Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia (start at the beginning with The Magician's Nephew) He has also written many other books, some non-fiction and some fiction, all of which are very well-written and thought-provoking.

George Orwell - 1984

J.R.R. Tolkien - The Hobbit + The Lord of the Rings (the movies do not do justice to the books)

Lemony Snickett - A Series of Unfortunate Events

Anything ("Anything" is not the title of a book...by "anything" I meant "anything") by Roald Dahl

Dr. Seuss books. :-D

Answer 6

Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie macDonald. A story about a Welsh family living in Newfoundland (well, somewhere in Eastern Canada) in the 1920s. An absolute pageturner. I don't want to give too much of the story away ... but it focuses on the relationship between two sisters (one who wants to be a star like Theda Bara and frequents the local bar and one who is pious and thinks her youngest sister can perform miracles). And their father is a sad human being.

I've recommended this book to two of my friends and they both loved it.

Answer 7

I second the person who said The Secret Life of bees-- a great book for anyone over the age of 12 and up to 102!

Answer 8

I would highly suggest Connie Willis' "Doomsday Book". A student goes back in time to Medieval Europe to study the contemporaries while back at home a mysterious disease has caused a quarintine. Time travel and the black plague, you can't go wrong! It really is a good read if you're into Medieval Europe.

Answer 9

The existence of Pi, by using fact it took a protracted jointly as for the unconventional to truly initiate. it began with a lot of meticulously precise biographical factors to the foremost character, which looked like it grew to become into merely attempting too complicated. The consistent Princess, I enjoyed the different Boylen female by potential of the author, Phillipa Gregory, yet this novel grew to become into merely atrociously uninteresting!

Answer 10

Anything by Nicholas Sparks or Richard Paul Evans
