[Memphology]

[Opal]

Transall SagaHatchetMonsterWesting GameWesting Game is my favorite.

 

[Memphology]

Hatchet is overrated, people said it was a great book and I read it, wasnt impressed at all.

 

[Hang Eleven]

Roll of the Thunder, Hear My CryLet the Circle Be UnbrokenAh, I've read both of those. Very good ones, too. I've read Holes too, and it was...OK. A bit strange, though. I like one book called the Maltese Falcon, by Athony Horowitz. Does anyone read classics? Say, To Kill a Mockingbird, maybe? Any Isaac Asimov lovers out there?

 

[yankshater213]

I dont know how to read books.

 

[ElMaster]

I hate reading books, but I have to because of school...I just remembered I have to read one for this Friday. It's only 200-something pages but I get bored easily when reading and can't read for more than 30 minutes.The only book(well...short story really) was The Most Dangerous Game.It's the only thing I've enjoyed reading in all my life.

 

[CB4allstar]

I dont have time to read books that often..I liked the Davinci Code, the Eragon books, and the Westing Game though...

[STAT]

I don't ever read...

 

[BrewCityBuck]

I suggest anyone into politics...etc...To read anything by Jeffrey Archer, I'm trying to read all his books, they are amazing....they are fiction.

I?m always in the middle of a book. Right now I'm reading two books, although I?ve not been reading very diligently as of late. They are sort of collections of shorter writings so I can easily shift between the two. http://www.amazon.com/Peoples-History-Unit...t/dp/0060528370 http://www.amazon.com/Great-Shark-Hunt-Str...ie=UTF8&s=booksBoth are really good books. The first one is a US history book from different perspectives, like Christopher Columbus's arrival in North America from the view of the Indians, slavery and the Declaration of Independence from the slaves' point of view. It will certainly make you think. History is all perspective so when look at it from a differinf perspective we can certainly learn something. The second is a collection of articles from the early in Hunter S. Thompson's career. This was also a book that has caused me to think but also laugh. HST has a unique style that quickly moves from reporting facts to writing fiction and mixing the two. It?s like he is writing to his audience and having a drug addled conversation with himself all at once. He is very fun to read. Thompson hated Richard Nixon and wrote about Nixon quite often. If you take the name "Nixon" and read it as "Dubya", and change "Vietnam" to "Iraq" almost every word of it applies to the current situation in politics. It?s almost frightening.

Harry PotterArtemis FowlEverworldYeah I'm a nerd, but Everworld's lack of an ending pissed me off after I read all 12 books.I also like The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons.Holes was a great book that I read in 6th grade.And I just had to pick a book to read for school and, Necessary Roughness is pretty good. It's about an Asian family moving to Minnesota and all the white kids looking at them funny.

Or anything from Archer?

 

[Memphology]

To Kill a Mocking Bird is ok, the Harry Potter books are getting better....people are starting to die. I like the Pig Man also.

 

[iversonfan268]

Yeah I read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in 6th grade in my English class and it was a great book. I typically don't reada ton but I also like Shadow of the Dragon, The Butterfly Revolution, and almost all books by Waletr Dean Meyers a lot. Were gonna be starting To Kill A Mocking Bird this week in my English class but I don't know much about it.
