whats a good book for a 21 yr old chick?? i like reading about biographies or anything really so anyone read?

Question

any good books lately??? please let me know

Answer 1

For something different, try the biography "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the fascinating story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of insanity to develop the scientific method.

Born in Basra (located in what is now Iraq) in 965, Ibn al-Haytham first studied theology, trying unsuccessfully to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greeks, including Aristotle, Euclid, and Archimedes. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding the branch of mathematics known as analytic geometry.

He traveled to Egypt and ended up imprisoned in Cairo for ten years. How Ibn al-Haytham came to be in Egypt, why he was judged insane, and how his discoveries launched the scientific revolution are just some of the questions answered in this new book.

You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/

Answer 2

You have to read the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich (One for the money, two for the dough etc) they are very good and very funny.

I'm not much into biographies but some good ones Ive read are Angela's Ashes and Mao's Last Dancer

Answer 3

Read Animal Farm, Where the Red Fern Grows, Boys Life, any Readers Digest books, any Stephen King books (espically the Gunslinger Series)

Answer 4

I think a 21 year old chick would like "Shakey" Niel Young's biography. He is the ultimate misunderstood rocker. The book also details rock-n-roll in its infancy.

Answer 5

Check out A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer.
A really messed up true story

Answer 6

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan- amazing look at why people believe in psychic phenomenon, UFO abduction, astrology, etc. Awesome.
