what is a good book i should read. i have 2 for school?

Answer 1

well it depends on what books you like. If your like me and you like chick books here are some. Twilight , its about a girl that falls in love with a vampire( its amazing); the uglies series(1st, uglies,2nd pretties, 3rd specials), its about a girl its hard to explain but it takes place in the future(its pretty good); and the sisterhood of the traveling pants series, its also very good.
I hope that helps!

Answer 2

Tough question because I don't know how old you are, or what grade you are in.

However, I generally recommend reading the classics. While they may not be as contemporary or "cool" as other books, but these will truly enrich your life.

I am not a literary type, but conversations have come up where people will use these as frames of reference. It's always nice to be able to know what someone means when they say:

"At the end of Star Trek II; Wrath of Khan, wasn't it cool the way that Khan quotes Ahab? He curses Capt. Kirk, using Ahab's curses against the great white whale".
"You remind me of Lenny, from "Of Mice and Men"
"Jo, from 'Little Women', inspired me to be a writer"

Moby Dick
Little Women
Little House in the Big Woods
Flowers for Algernon
Of Mice and Men
Where the Red Fern grows
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Stand by Stephen King
Romeo and Juliet
The Short Stories of John Steinbeck
Jane Eyre
and anything by Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett.

Enjoy books, they take you places your body will never be able to go.

Answer 3

I don't know how old you are but I recommended "Watership Down" by Richard Adams to my daughter when she was in Junior High and she read it many times throughout the years...very good book with lots of symbolism. Watership Down is often referred to as a classic example of xenofiction. Many editions also include an appendix of Lapine vocabulary. It can thus be considered not an animal fable like the works of Aesop but a genuine heroic fantasy.

Answer 4

Depends what you like... If you like action suspense, Anything by Clive Cussler, Dan Brown, James Rollins, Micheal Crichton, Robert Ludlum. If you want a sweet romantic fun easy going serious read, The Time Travellers Wife. Fantastic book. If you want something very light-hearted chic-lit (as we book store clerks call it) Confessions of a Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, this is her pen name and her real name is Madeline Wickman who write more serious chick lit. If you want some Canadian books that is a fantastic literary read, the Last Crossing. If you want a girlie historic romantic time travel type of books, the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. If you are into more mystery, The Patricia Cornwall books ( the scarpetta novels) also Kathy Riechs is a great mystery author. If you want a little bit of everything Janet Evanovich One for the money (it is shelved in mystery) this is a romantic comedy, fiction, mystery, etc etc. If you are into more quirky sci-fi stuff the Christopher moore books are hilarious. They are generally shelved in Fiction. If you want a more teen style book, the Clique Novels are great for girls, as well as the sisterhood of the travelling pants (the fourth one just came out). If its History and Politics, stay away from Micheal Moore. He is far too over the top over dramatically and his information is purposely flawed. Freakonomics is a hilarious approach to cultural studies and economics, Bob Woodward if you want anything current on 9/11 and the war in Iraq that is fairly even in political ideology. The world is flat is another fantastic read. If you want a humour, any books by Andy Rooney are perfect, very sarcastic very funny.

Answer 5

Fahrenheit 451 is a good book for school. To Kill a Mockingbird and A Child Called It are good books for older readers.

Answer 6

Depends on your age. How old are you?

Here is some:

Island of the Blue Dolphins- Scott O'Dell
The Sea of Trolls- Nancy Farmer
Hatchet series: Hatchet • Brian's Return • Brian's Winter • The River • Brian's Hunt- Gary Paulson

Answer 7

I love reading myself, and one book that I would reccomend to anyone is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime", by Mark Haddon. It has a bit of adult material language, but I think it's alright. Also, "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown is very good and understandable.

Answer 8

The Historian or The Kite Flyer

Answer 9

depends on what you like. funny stuff i read includes the ever so hilarious like water for chocolate. check out the price of salt or really old ones like the illiad or something. also, look up 20th century classics like the catcher in the rye or the joy luck club. they are cliche and overly done if you ask me, but teachers usually want you to choose something they've read anyway.

Answer 10

depends on the age.
if your 10-14 any of the Harry Potters are good. or Lord of the Rings (if your advanced)
There is a series call "Tale of the Otori" it's really good. you should check it out. but it all depends on the age. i suppose you're in middle or high school, so i'd recommend
Life of Pi
A Million Little Pieces (really vulgar but it's awesome)
Vampire Hunter D....
Eragon
any of these are good books
