Answer 2

I tend to like non-fiction books, like Into Thin Air and Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun, but you probably need fiction, right? Or do you?

OK, I loooooved Talking It Over, by Julian Barnes. I also loved his book A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters. But some of his stuff is a little too strange or just mind-numbingly boring (often both.) He's not a reliable author in that respect. But those two books are grrrrreat!

Most Stephen King stuff. No lie--the dude's popular because he's a wonderful writer. Try Different Seasons--it has three novellas that were made into movies and another one that's weird but very good. The movies were Stand By Me (AWESOME movie!), Apt Pupil, and The Shawshank Redemption (also totally awesome.)

I was very into John Steinbeck when I was your age. One totally gripping book is East of Eden. I read that thing in three days, after school. It's big, but worth it.

I love Southern writers, like Anne Tyler and Lee Smith. I did a project on Anne Tyler when I was a junior in h.s. Lee Smith is probably a little more compelling, because her characters are just so crazy and fascinating and do such outrageous stuff.

Like Water for Chocolate is a great book, great movie--it has recipes in it, too. It's set up kinda like a cookbook.

Truman Capote's book In Cold Blood is one of the all-time most incredible, affecting, evocative books I've ever read. I mean, I really felt the conflict in the book, of being fascinated with the killers, but also being revolted by the crime and it's non-fiction--the first true-crime novel. His short stories are fun to read. I much preferred his version of Breakfast at Tiffany's to the movie--I didn't think the movie made as much sense.

If your teacher is a hip, edgy, tolerant-of-cursing sort, try Henry Rollins. Whoa. That dude is an incredible writer. I mean, I'd heard his music (OK sometimes) and his spoken word (great) but his writing is something else entirely. Check him out even if you don't write about him.

Answer 3

Louise Rennison's series about a British school girl named Georgia Nicolson - my daughter got one from her 8th grade classroom library, and I've read them all too. They are hysterically funny, like laugh out loud on every page. I embarrassed myself by reading one at the dentist's office one day! The other people in the waiting room thought I was nuts. Even the titles are funny. The first one is called "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging." You won't be able to put it down. The other books are "On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God," "Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas," "Dancing In My Nuddy Pants," "Away Laughing on a Fast Camel," "Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers," and "Startled by His Furry Shorts."

Answer 4

I liked the book Catherine, Called Birdy in the tenth grade. I don't remember the author, sorry. It's historical fiction.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond--again, don't remember the author, about colonial New England and the witch hunts.

Answer 5

Dashiell Hammet, RED HARVEST
Robert Heinlein, THE DOOR INTO SUMMER
Evelyn Waugh, THE LOVED ONE
Albert Camus, THE PLAGUE

Answer 6

Harry Potter.

Answer 7

Harry Potter
Clique
Gossip Girl
The IT Girl
Sisterhood of the traveling pants

Answer 8

Stormbreaker, by Anthony Horowitz. Everyone who reads it finishes it in about a day.

Or Touching Spirit Bear, by Ben Mikaelsen -- that one is GRIPPING!

Answer 9

I loved The 5 People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I finished that book in one day. :)

Answer 10
