I would like nonfiction titles...but fiction is okay too. I need to read a few for my english class (we get to pick) and I don't know of any good ones that I should read. Any suggestions would help
Thanks :)

I really enjoyed the autobiography of Bill Peet, a cartoonist. Also, I would try the classics, such as Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and of course Harry Potter if you haven't already read that blissfully wonderful series... : )

Three suggestions:
To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
The Hot Zone
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbra Kingsolver
The Hot Zone might be non-fiction, but I haven't read it in a while. These are my favorite books of all time.

Fiction try: TEMPLE by Matthew Reilly, fantastic read. AMAZONIA by James Rollins, another good read. SIGN OF THE CROSS by Chris Kuzneski, just came out and blows the doors off the Da Vinci Code. Have fun and happy reading.

i really read fiction, but some of these are more realistic than others:
the ghost ship is really good if ur into mystery and adventure and susupense
the hero and the crown is a really fiction one, but its still good. its kind of hard to understand at first though.
nancy drew books are always good.
the lion the witch and the wardrobe is good and has a good meaning in the background... so are the other books in the series.
a realistic fiction that i like... (i read it a couple of years ago) is "THE LANDRY NEWS"
good luck... let me know if you need more suggestions. =]

for sheer word engineering, and fanciful story line, tom? robbins, even cow girls get the blues, can't be beat
for a good informative historical fiction, michner's hawaii is his best, tho all michner is worth reading.
for easy to use, helpful information, harvey mackays, beware of the naked man who offers you the shirt off his back, and, how to swim with sharks without getting eaten alive, are tough to beat.
3 genres, 3 authors, 4 titles
cowgirls is a fun book to read.

If you need to read books for your english class you could check out anything written by P G Wodehouse.

to kill a mocking bird by harper lee- really good book
night by elie wiesel
here are my list of books that i like to read and why i like them:
twilight
new moon
by stephenie meyer
because its the best vampire teen romance book. when i read it i kept on reading them for more than once and i always keep thinking about the story and the character. plus i go to the author's website and keep searching the book. plus the main characters are really easy to like. lots of girls love the main guy characters
silver kiss
by annette curtis klause
same reason as twilight and new moon by this is my third fav. vampire romance book
blood and chocolate
by annette curtis klause
its about a young werewolf trying to find the mate and love that she craves for. its sexual too, but not rated r, just enough sexuality for teens 14 and up
cirque du freak series
by darren shan
i love these series, best vampire series ever, and my first book/vampire series that i ever collected. best adventures and story plot line, plus darren shan did a great job ending the whole series
demonata series
by darren shan
i read the first two books while i was waiting for some of the cirque du freak books to be out. and since i love darren shan's books i also read his second series. demon books are just as great as vampire books
vampire kisses
kissing coffins
vampireville
by ellen schreiber
same reason as twilight, but its my fourth fav. vampire romance. plus these series has a gothic main character.
alex rider series
by anthony horowitz
i love the action packed series. its like a young hotter sounding james bond. plus alex pettyfer (as alex rider) in the stormbreaker movie, is really hot
artemis fowl series
by eion colfer
i love these series, a smart boy who gets involved wuth fairies. its like harry potter but human with computers, etc.
harry potter series
by j.k. rowling
i love the books and movies. plus its my first wizard book collection. the story is great too, but its too long, although i reread the books more than once
