Question

could you also rate it on a 1 to 10 scale

Answer 1

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen 8.5/10

Answer 2

Magyk.

10/10

Answer 3

I just finished Garlic and sapphires by Ruth Reichl.
As the New York Times's restaurant critic for most of the 1990s, Reichl was determined to review the "true" nature of each restaurant she visited, so she often dined incognito--each chapter of her book highlights a new disguise, a different restaurant (including the original reviews from the Times), and a fresh culinary adventure.

Before that I read Summer Knight, a book in the Dresden files book series.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.In this book he deals with the Summer and Winter Courts of the fey.Apparently they are about to go to war.An event which was triggered by the death of the Summer Knight.Queen Mab of the Winter Court hires Harry to find out the true killer.

Answer 4

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant 10+

Answer 5

The One Kingdom by Sean Russell. I'd rate it as a 4, assuming that a 1 is really bad. Although it was a somewhat interesting read, the story seemed to flow very slowly at first.

Answer 6

I read to my 10 year old every night. The last book we completed was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of Four. It's a Sherlock Holmes novella that involves 2 murders, exotic locales, a secret treasure, a love story, period settings and of course, the game is always afoot.

Answer 7

Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia by Marya Hornbacher
I rate it an 8, it's an intelligent, interesting read although it gets a little flighty at times. I recommend to anyone who is or loves someone with an eating disorder.

Answer 8

October Sky (Rocket Boys) 9/10

Answer 9

Geekily enough it was online: Chet Shakesbeare's Romeo and Juliet a Bad Melodrama. I'd give it 10/10. See the link in the source to find it for yourself. It's hilarious.

Answer 10

The last wonderful book I read was Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. I laughed (in an airport) until my children removed the book from me (so I wouldn't draw attention to myself). I cried. I read pages from it to total strangers. The worldview is sort of C.S. Lewis. The voice is sort of To Kill a Mockingbird. The plot makes you want to read faster, but the delightful writing makes you want to reread pages.
