Read the DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. These books hook you from the first 2 or 3 pages and make you want to read and read until they are done without putting them down. As soon as I finished one I had to run to the store to get the next. I can't wait for his next book.

That depends on if the person 1) likes to read; 2) has a favorite author or genre 3) and what the person is open to.

Starting with one of the more accessible classics, such as "Brave New World" or "Animal Farm" is a good way to go, as well as asking someone about the same age at Barnes and Noble or Borders what they like and what they would recommend.

Good luck!

Author, Mario Puzo. Try Michael Crichton if you haven't. One Louis L'Amour. Author, James Clavell & Tolkien, if you haven't yet. Hunter S. Thompson if you want. The Water Method Man, by John Irving for funny. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand for serious. And after all those, something artsy, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea by Yukio Mishima.

Check out "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut

Oh and the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. They are interesting for everyone, but especially a kid your age. Be sure you read the author's opening note entitles "On Being 19." The number 19 will also factor into the story along the way.

in case you have no longer gotten into Stephen King, I advise you initiate with a number of his previously works. the flicks do no longer do the books any justice with the aid of fact Stephen King does not care what human beings do together with his books while they are revealed. Of all his books, I advise: The Shining It puppy Cemetary Carrie Christine Dean Koontz is yet another author this is exceptional. i've got learn 60 of his eighty books and that i can not get sufficient! you could not bypass incorrect with any of his books yet those I rather advise are: Watchers Lightning speed intensity through the gentle of the Moon ordinary Thomas The Taking Frankenstein (thrilling spin on an previous tale) And in case you have no longer examine it, Ender's game is an extremely good sequence.

Into thin Air - Jon Krakauer. Its a personal story of his quest unto Mt.Everest as he is a professional Mountaineer. Its nice even if you dont have any idea about the subject. The way he told his tale was vivid enough for me. It could be slack at start but you know how stories are. Its still a good read, and im a girl!

try anything by John Steinbeck or Robert Louis Stevenson.
I know a few males who like the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series as well as the Lord of the Rings series.

If you are the sensitive, metrosexual type, try authors Richard Paul Evans or Peter Mayle.
