Answer 2

I second the recommendation for Robin Hobb's books. Here are some other authors/series that I've really enjoyed:

Brian Jacques - Redwall books
Lloyd Alexander - all of his books
Piers Anthony - he's famous for his Xanth series, but I love his other series as well (Incarnations of Immortality, Apprentice Adept)
Isaac Asimov - very prolific writer, wrote a bunch of great fiction & non-fiction
John Bellairs - great books with magic & mystery in them
Lillian Jackson Braun - "The Cat Who..." mysteries
Orson Scott Card - famous for his book "Ender's Game" (a GREAT read), the rest of the series is good, but different from the first book
Agatha Christie - great mysteries
Susan Cooper - The Dark is Rising Sequence (5 great books)
Madeleine L'engle - famous for "A Wrinkle in Time", but all of her books have been wonderful reads
Anne McCaffrey - famous for her Dragonriders of Pern books, other series are also great (Crystal Singer, the Rowan)
Garth Nix - great trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen), has a dark feel
Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials Trilogy, starts with The Golden Compass, good reads
Patricia C. Wrede - The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, 4 very fun, very addicting books - I love her writing style

A previous poster mentioned Robin Hobb - I would recommend all of her books. If you're going to read them, I would suggest reading them in order - first, the Farseer trilogy, the Liveship Traders trilogy, then the Tawny Man trilogy. The second trilogy can be read separately, as it does not involve the same characters as the first & third trilogies (with 1 minor exception). I think I've enjoyed that second trilogy the most out of the three.

George R.R. Martin writes another great series called A Song of Ice & Fire. The story is very engaging, and it is a great but very intense read. The first book is A Game of Thrones.

:) I wish I could write more about each of these authors' books, but then this post would be even more of a novel than it already is. Best of luck!

Answer 3

I will give you some books that I thoroughly enjoy; I read different genres, especially fantasy, and though I'm a teenager read adult and children books.

Robin Hobb's books are great fantasy books. Three of her four trilogies should be read in order though. The Farseer trilogy, the Liveship Traders trilogy and the Tawny Man trilogy. They are all in the same world, the Farseer and the Tawny Man trilogy based around the same characters. These are books are really for adults, in some parts quite mature, but are still enjoyable. They are a little slow in some parts, but still great. Her other trilogy I haven't read, I think only one or two of the books are out. They are called the Soldier's Son trilogy.

Eragon and it's sequel, Eldest, in the Inheritance trilogy, are also fantastic fantasies. They are by Christopher Paolini. They are about dragons, based around a boy called Eragon who has a dragon egg hatch for him. They were really written for older children and teenagers, but I know many adults who have read and enjoyed them.

Another good series is the Earth's Children books, by, I THINK, Joan Auel. They are set just after the Stone Age. The first is called the Clan of the Cave Bear. These, also, are based on adults, being mature in parts, but I still loved them.

These are all great books. I hope you read and enjoy them.

Answer 4

15 was around the age when I started working my way through some of the classic American authors. Shakespeare and Byron are still too advanced (and will bore you to tears right now). However, William Faulkner, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Ralph Ellison, and Zora Neal Hurston are great reads. My personal favorite is "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner. "The Sound and the Fury" is a popularly assigned Faulkner book in academic settings, but it is very advanced and even a lot of college students struggle with it. "Invisible Man" by Ellison, and "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Hurston are great books also. Don't sell yourself short and read a lot of modern work that is quickly digested and light on substance. Don't be afraid to go back a little and get into the literature that influenced the authors of our day. There are good modern works, but you can't go wrong with the classics.

Answer 5

Hi

I'm 16 and i love the author E.R. Frank. Particularly her book "America" was gripping, not sugar coated at all. Frank is social work and writes well about kids in the system ( like in "America"). Frank has a couple other books to you can find through google. Another great author is Gail Gales. She wrote "Playing in traffic". it's a quick read and has a twist ending. Gales has also written quite a few other books that are wroth the google.

Good luck with you reading!

P.S. if all else fails read a classic
Black Boy by Richard Wright
