Hi im a 15 almost 16 year old boy and was wondering if you know any really good books.
My most recent favorite was the curious incident of a dog in the nightime.
Please dont say anything too easy for me like goosebumps. But nothing to difficult either.

sounds like me when I was your age!! I had read every book in the school library so had to look for more to read! lol
try "Illusions" by Richard Bach, who wrote Johathon Livingston Seagull. Other books by him I enjoyed were "One", "Bridge across forever" and even "running from safety"
The book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand has sold more copies than any other book except the Bible is a little difficult in a few chapters but the overall story and philosophy I thought so good that I have read it 6 or 7 times over the years and gotten something from it each time.
If you go to the link below, there are millions of books that you can read online so can pick from a variety of books to find one you like also

I would recommend some classics that, if you haven't read, you should read.
-The Hobbit (and The Lord of the Rings series) by J.R.R. Tolkien
-The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis
-Kidnapped or The Master of Ballantrae or Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
-Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott (or perhaps Ivanhoe)
-The Sea Hawk or Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini
-The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope
-The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
-Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes
-Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian (there's a series)
-The Hornblower Saga by C.S. Forester
-The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
-The Call of the Wild by Jack London
-Lord of the Flies by William Golding
-The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
There are a lot more you may enjoy, but you might like some of the above.

Check out Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul. They write adventure-type stuff with historical and scientific goodies thrown in. I've been reading Cussler since I was 13 or 14, maybe even before, and he's one of my favorite authors ever. I also recommend Terry Pratchett - satiric fantasy.

The novel series i'm writing LOL
It's called The Crusades of Medieval America
It has too many plots to describe so anyone want to know, go to my myspace site for it: http://www.myspace.com/medieval_america
Medieval America, for those of you who think America sucks, is not at all like modern america. It is a fictional Empire like a giant reservation territory spread across america and the lifestyle native to it is like that of Europe where the people are not like modern americans at all and pretty muc have their whole seperate and own regulations and lifestyles. There's WAAAAAAAY more to it so visit my page if you like.

Atlas Shrugged is amazing, I was a year younger than you when I read it. Its size is a bit intimidating, but it is a book that will change your life.
