Question

just to give u some info, im 14, i love books like to kill a mockingbird, most things by nickolas sparks, the lovely bones, the series of unfortunate events, flowers for algernon


any good books i dont know about out there?

Answer 1

Have you read.....
the Little Women series?
Jane Eyre?
Catcher in the Rye?
His Dark Materials series....Golden Compass, Amber Spyglass, and a third I can't remember off the top of my head?
Mists of Avalon?
I could go on and on.....

Thanks Herkimer9 for the third title. I'd be careful about a lot of these recommendations. Sho-Gun may be a great book, but I'm not sure it's great for a 14 year old girl.

Answer 2

I have read flowers for algernon and to kill a mocking bird.. ( I cried when it ended )
I'm the same age also, so I think we could help eachother out :)

I am not really sure if you are into the whole dragon and adventure stories...but if you are... I would suggest Eragon ( the movies was quite lame, but the book was amazing)
Another book I think you should read, no matter what you like is Abarat by Clive Barker... (It's amazing!)
Ever read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin?
There is also Tales from watership Down by Richard Adams... The call of the wild by jack london
Wicked by Gregory Maguire (It's a little deep, but its very political, and educational...)
I've always enjoyed The adventures of Tom sawyer by Mark Twain ( I looooove that book)
and lastly I will add the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho ( a story my older sister bought me for inspirational purposes)


Well there you go, and if you have time later maybe you can email me and give me a list of some good reads also!!!

Answer 3

How about "Shogun" by James Clavell? And "Tai-Pan?" Shogun is a novel about a 16th-century English sailor who is shipwrecked in feudal warlord Japan and gets directly involved in the political and real battles between Japanese warlords to become the top ruler. It has mystery, strategy, romance, etc.

Tai-Pan is almost a pirate novel about establishing trade in Hong Kong. Both books are VERY GOOD READS.

Nelson DeMille's "By the Rivers of Babylon" was also a very good read. It is about Jews flying to New York to attend a peace conference at the U.N. when their plane is hijacked by an Iraqi terrorist who makes them land in the ruins of Babylon. The Jews fight for their lives for several days as they hope the Israeli government can figure out where they are and come rescue them from the Iraqi and his band of Palestinian terrorists (Ashbals). I also really liked "The General's Daughter."

Almost anything by Herman Wouk is good. I really liked "The Caine Mutiny." A WWII era destroyer crew mutnies against a mentally unstable Captain Queeg and the results and trial commence.

Richard Russo also wrote "Empire Falls" which I did not really get into until about the end when it all came together. Outstanding modern-day literature that incorporates a lot of literary themes in the story. An incredible use of rhythm, coherence, and theme made the book really stand out.

I also recommend Winston Groom's "Forrest Gump" and Bubba Gump. Both books stand out because they are so different than the movie.
And countless other books I have yet to mention.

Answer 4

The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Artemis Fowl, Goose Chase, Lost in the Labyrinth, The Spiderwick Cronicles, His Dark Materials, Children of the Red King, Mermaid Park, The Looking Glass Wars, Elsewhere, Amelia's Notebook and others by Marissa Moss, The Keys to the Kingdom, Uglies trilogy by scott westerfeld (Ugies, Pretties, Specials), The Giver, Gossamer, Barlow's Guide to Extraterestrials

Answer 5

Greetings Ms. Hapa:

I recommed the following titles to you:

The Kite Runner by Kholed Hosseini. A gripping read about a young boy growing up in Afghanistan and his relationship with his Father and his best Friend. This story paints a picture of what Afghanistan was like before the Russian/Taliban occupation, you will experience many strong emotions reading this book.

Marley and Me by John Grogan. A wistfully nostalgic book about life with the World's worst behaved Dog. Many many good laughs in this book and very accurate details about the good times/bad times had while raising a Dog.

The Vinyl Cafe Diaries by Stuart MacLean. A book about a typical Toronto Family living in Toronto. Dave runs a used record store called the Vinyl Cafe, his wife Morley is a theatre producer. They have 2 children Stephanie and Sam, a Dog named Arthur and a psycho cat named Galway.

Answer 6

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein; The Illuminatis by Bob Shea and Robert Anton Wilson; anything by Douglas Adams; Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut; 1984 by George Orwell; and definatly check out Jonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach; the last will only take a few hours to read but it will change the way you think.

Answer 7

you may desire to attempt the Bluford sequence: #a million lost and located #2 a remember of have confidence #3 secrets and methods interior the Shadows #4 somebody to love Me #5 The Bully #6 The Gun (republished as Payback) #7 till We Meet back #8 Blood Is Thicker #9 Brothers In palms #10 summer season Of secrets and methods #11 The Fallen #12 Shattered #13Search for protection #14 No way Out #15 Schooled

Answer 8

If you read the Golden compass series and enjoy it, I would also recommend the Sally Lockhart series by the same author (the ruby in the smoke, etc). Also, Sense and Sensibility, Tuck Everlasting, Farenheit 451, Brave New Word, and the list could go on endlessly!

Answer 9

The series goes:
The Golden Compass
The Subtle Knife
and
The Amber Spy Glass
its a good series
OH!
And the pendragon series, cant miss em, they say pendragon on the cover.
its about a 14 yr. old who is sucked into a world of Travelers, quigs, and a battle for all Halla. Pretty good
