so i need suggestions on some really good- easy books, where you don't have to think much. (like books that are based on movies).. any ideas. please?

Answer 1

"Watchers" by Dean Koontz is a great book...and it's pretty easy to get into and quick to "grab you".
Good luck...

Answer 2

If you have a palm pilot or a laptop, go grab some electronic books off www.fictionwise.com or http://www.gutenberg.net. They don't add any weight to your bags.

If you have an attention problem and don't really care to read long books, pick up magazines like Readers Digest and The New Yorker and anything else that interests you. If you decide to go the electronic route, check out the stories of H. G. Wells (War of the Worlds and The Time Machine), Jules Verne (Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and The Mysterious Island) and Edgar Allan Poe (The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, and other classics).

For light fare in modern books, try Erma Bombeck and Art Buchwald.

Poetry: Robert Service (at Gutenberg in ebook) and Baxter Black (hardback) Both write easy to understand ballad poetry.

Oh, and remember that a handheld electronic poker game will help you get through those hours.

Answer 3

I also say the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, but buying all three books could be a little pricey. The books are about a vampire (don't completely count the book out yet) and a girl who falls in love with him. The girl is a danger magnet and the vampire thirsts for her blood. The series is funny, romance, and action packed. The writer is very new at writing and she doesn't bore you with little details. Very easy to read, yet fun.

If you don't like the sound of that one, you could try 'The Girlfriend Curse'. It's a romance about a girl who is the last girlfriend her ex boyfriends have before they get married. She goes to a retreat to try and break her "curse". It's more mature than the Twilight series, but it's sure to keep you laughing.

Answer 4

What you usually find are movies that are based on books, not the other way around. "Bookish" people dislike the movies because they leave out all the good stuff.

Anyhow, try some of these:
"Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan
"A Painted House" by John Grisham
"The Sword of Shannara" by Terry Brooks
"The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy" and the rest of the series by Douglas Adams
"The Great House of God" by Max Lucado

Anything by David Eddings, Anne McCaffrey, Maeve Benchy...

You really need to browse and pick a genre that interests you. I suggest you take 2 or 3 books from different genres so that if one bores you after a chapter or two, you have something to fall back on.

Answer 5

Everybody recommends Harry Potter and those are good books but some other suggestions are The Da VInci Code, The Chronicles of Narnis(Lion WItch and the Wardrobe) If your are into romances Johanna Lindsey or Nora Roberts are great and easy to get into.

Answer 6

How old are you?

Harry Potter age? That's really easy reading.

Or perhaps something a little more challenging like "Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse, or a murder mystery by Jeffrey Deaver?

My best suggestion would be to wander into the book shop at the airport - have a browse - and buy something that grabs your attention at the time.

Answer 7

Read Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs, and/or A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. All of them are very entertaining. The first two are like brain candy, and the last is really funny.

Answer 8

"Vanished" by Karen Robards is pretty good. ts about a woman who is a District Attorney in South Carolina who has lost her daughter and is fighting for her life. People are out to kill her and yet no one knows who and the only way that the killers are able to corner her is through her missing child. Very good book; suspenseful, witty, a little romance (not mushy) and a fast read.

"Deception Point" by Dan Brown (also the author of The Da Vincci Code)...also a VERY good read (I read this one in three days)! Its a fiction novel portraying NASA as an undercover society within the US government trying to boost their social stamina with the country and the President, all of whom are ready to cut funding for the program, by presenting a major find in the North Arctic only to have it come out from one of the specialists that is asked to overlook the find that the "find" was planted....the question is by who?

"One for The Money" by Janit Evonovitch(sp)....this is a series by this particular author the main character being a woman named Stephanie Plum. These books are hysterical to say the least of them. They are about Stephanie Plum, who used to work for a department store selling woman's lingerie. Upon getting fired, the only place she could find decent work was as a bond enforcement agent with her cousin Vinnie. All of the stories take place in or around Trenton, New Jersey. Like I said, hilarious books...not the type of series where you have to read all the books in order...all of the titles have the number in the title (One for the money, Two for the dough...so on and so forth). Comedy, a funny kind of romance, hysterical characters and extremely fast reads.

Answer 9

Look at these, especially at the grade reading level. That is *not* and indication of how adult the books are, but simply how difficult they are to read. I enjoy all of these, and I'm 45.

Included is a list of only the best sorcery fantasy books, grade reading level, a short review of each book, and a "reader's choice" list of favorite books.

I hope this helps.
