Well, I suppose I'm in the "young adult" category (I'm 16) ... but I usually read adult books. I haven't really read anything in a while, outside of required reading for school, and right now I just need a good book to read for fun. Any recommendations anyone has would be great. I don't care if it's fiction or nonfiction, but no heavy romances, please.

Try Beauty by Sheri Tepper. It's a fantasy novel with time traveling and deep underlying meanings. You'll love it.

I remember this really good book I read in like 7th grade...it's called "Searching for David's Heart" by Cherie Bennett. I think it's actually a movie now and was aired on ABC Family. It's just the best book you will ever read. And I really think that if you pass up the chance to read this then you're really missing out.
I also loved "Where the red fern grows" by Wilson Rawls. Its a book about a boy who wants 2 coon dogs, but his parents are poor. He finds an ad in the paper for two pups for 50 bucks. He works for 2 years and saves up the money. He travels out into the city to get his pups. He trains em and they become the best coon huntin dogs. In the end, the pups died( lil ann, the girl, died because she couldnt live w/o old dan) and old dan died after he had a fight with another animal. Where they were burried, a red fern grew. Its really a sad story of never giving up. I loved it a lot.

technological awareness FICTION all and sundry ignores sci-fi however the actuality is that some books are practically 0.5 philosophy. examine Stranger in an atypical Land with tips from Robert A.

After Shakespeare and the Bible, she has offered the main sort of books international ever.

A Lesson Before Dying - Ernest J. Gaines --- I just read this a few months ago, and it is the most amazing book I've ever read. It's about this black teacher in the South in the '40s who is asked to teach a young man on death row how to be a good man, as opposed to the animal white men have accused him of being. So... you should read it. Actually, everybody should.
