Any good books?

Question

i want a book to read

Answer 1

Lake House: James Patterson

Answer 2

Don't know how old you are or your interests, but the pic looks like a male teen - so either the Lord of the Rings trilogy or the Dune series are safe bets. I know, I know, you've seen the movies, but the books are a totally different experience. I also agree with another person's answer: Eragon. Also, for a young male, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

Answer 3

What kind of books do you like? Mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, history...? There are so many books! You can go to amazon.com and browse through their different genres. Something might draw your interest. Or go to your local library and browse the shelves or some libraries have websites with recommended reading lists.
I like mysteries and some fantasy. Recently, I have gotten hooked on Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. Try his first one "Storm Front". The Golden Compass was recommended to me. And like millions of others, I am anxiously awaiting HP7.

Answer 4

The hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan. It is one of the books I have to read over the summer and I loved it. Plus because it was on the reading list you know it is a good and well written book.
Enjoy

Answer 5

Hey have you read "the house of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer its really interesting book hear read the back.

"Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the united states and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster-- escept for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patron's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards.

Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining
by Judge Judy Sheindlin

~~~Editorial Review:
From Publishers Weekly
For the past 10 years, Sheindlin has been the supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court, with a reputation for cutting through judicial and bureaucratic obfuscation. Joined by Los Angeles Times correspondent Getlin, she continues her outspokenness in this hard-hitting book, whose title is obviously chosen with malice aforethought. She considers our society to be in trouble because we have infantilized part of it "by shifting the emphasis from individual responsibility to government responsibility." After giving an overview of "our crumbling system," she discusses the cost to taxpayers, then examines underlying reasons for "the lack of responsibility and honesty in American society." Her prescription, offered without any detailed plan of implementation: self-discipline, individual accountability and responsible conduct.

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
by Barbara Ehrenreich

Millions of Americans work for poverty-level wages, and one day Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that any job equals a better life. But how can anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 to $7 an hour?

The Cat Who Came for Christmas
by Cleveland Amory
Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
It is fitting that the founder and head of the Fund for Animals personally rescues and takes in strays, and one incident proved to have a profound effect on him. On a snowy Christmas Eve, Amory helped capture a scrawny cat and took it to his apartment. How does a new cat-keeper train a creature accustomed to fending for itself in Manhattan's alleys? Slowly, with patience and respect. Amory offers an entertaining, if precious, re-creation of his first year with Polar Bear (his account of selecting a name takes 20 pages). One highlight is a visit to the vet where the receptionist was a cat. During this time he also housed a dog and a grounded pigeon, and consulted a cat psychologist as well.
