Answer 1

"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton

Answer 2

I really liked the Marked series (by P.C. and Kristen (spelling?) Cast). Also, when I was younger, the Maximum Ride series was just amazing. I haven't had time to get back into reading, but some old favorites of mine were:

Maximum Ride (the series)

Marked (the series)

Evolution: Me and Other Freaks of Nature

The Lovely Bones

Vibes

Wicked (a two-part book)

(Not sure of the title of this one)-Wolf: The Journey Home (?)

Eragon (very long, sometimes hard to understand, in my opinion)

I forgot most of them actually. And as for the whole Twilight series, New Moon is the best of the books. I hated Breaking Dawn. Sorry if you've already read them and/or keep getting the Twilight suggestion.

Answer 3

Lol, the Vampire Diaries very similar to Twilight, though the books arn't that good, the TV show is much better. I liked the Percy Jakson series, the most similar series to Harry Potter I have ever seen. The Pendragon series is amazing. Although Percy Jackson is really funny, it's not really that sad. But Pendragon is really underated, only selling like a million and a half copies, but it'll make you think (at least it starts getting good at the third book), it's sometimes funny, and it's sad in the last book. The Inheritance Cycle(Eragon,Eldest, and Brisingr) is very thoughtful and mature, but not funny at all. Well, mostly I reccoment Percy Jackson and then Pendragon if you're an early teen (13,14, and mayb 15) if you're more mature Eragon or Vampire Diaries. Well, that's about it, I hope I helped!

Answer 4

The Harry Potter Series would top my list for all three criteria. An yes, HP is tonnes better than Twilight.

Love Story and Oliver's Story by Erich Segal are really good.

Laugh- Very Good Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse(other stuff by Wodehouse is also brilliant), The Princess Diaries(1-7) by Meg Cabot, actually everything by Meg Cabot makes you laugh as well as sort those stupid issues. Very good chicklit.



other interesting reads are anything by Roald Dahl, O. Henry, Jeffrey Archer (pick the short stories, they won't be tiresome)



Books that get you thinking would be The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie



hope this helps :)

Everything is Illuminated. Jonathan Safran Foer

Answer 18

Okay, I reaaaly suggest to you the Da Vinci code, Angels and Demons, and The Lost Symbol. They are all by Dan Brown and have some really sad parts, some really funny parts, and of course they make you think. Ever since I read the Da Vinci code I couldn't put it down and then I had to go get Angels and Demons, etc. They are really good.

Answer 19

my sisters keeper is amazing!!! also the immortals series by alyson noel the first one is called evermore. Its good if you like fantasy romance type books. The lost symbol by dan brown is also very good. 100 splendid suns is another good one. Hope that helped!

Answer 21

when i read: "promise me" , and "the innocent" by harlan coben they were surprisingly good especially for something i wouldnt normally read. i like historical romances the best and if you want to try reading something like that i suggest my personal favs, the de warenne dynasty by brenda joyce, or "love letters from a duke", "confessions of a little black gown", and "memoirs of a scandalous red dress" by elizabeth boyle, someone to love by jude deveraux, and high stakes by rebecca brandewyne.
