Every good book you ever read?

Question

Mmkay, please post every good book you can remember. Not as far back as when you were five but I am fifteen. So, all young adult books! I am just looking for some more books to read and I am stuck because there does not seem to many good ones out right now.
Post anything. I have no limitations on what it is. Mystery, Romance.
I like romance. But most do.
I was also curious about romantic classics for my age like Pride and the Prejudice. I know that is cliche, but what can I say? I would just like to understand it and not get bored.
That is one of my main focuses, a book that will keep my interest and will not make me feel like it is a chore to read the book.
For example, at the moment I am reading Shatterglass by Tamora Pierce and I am trudging through that book so I can read the Empress one that comes next. I liked all the other ones...I don't know, the plot is dragging on and on. STUCK. Ok, I will stop ranting about it...

Please post all the books you can think of!

Gracias. :)

Answer 1

i am also a fifteen year old girl who loves to read anything interesting...

these are definitely not the only good books that iv ever read because i read constantly but they are definitely my favorite

-its good to find another tamora pierce fan by the way (she is one of my favorite authors by far!!)



Ender's Shadow and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Enders-...

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Enders-...

these two books are probably two of the best books i have ever read and i have read each book multiple times... the synopsis for each of the books does not do them justice and i HIGHLY recomend that you read them... i have supplied links to the barnes and noble site for each book so you can see the reviews from other readers as well as the summaries



Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Great-a...

these books have a bit of romance in them but i promise you that they are fantastic and not shallow whatsoever! they are fantasy books about a girl who has the gift and burden of magical abilities and keep the reader interested from start to finish



Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Angels-...

this book is by the same author as the davinci code, however i find it even better... the plot is exciting and different and you wont want to put the book down until it is over! i stayed up until 3 one night to finish the 600 page story (give or take a few pages) which i had started earlier that day on the way to a basketball game... a must read!



Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Eragon/...

if you liked harry potter you will LOVE the inheritance set by paolini! i personally find these books to be much better than harry potter and i have read both books twice and will probably read them again before the 3rd book comes out in september. i was thoroughly disappointed by the movie becasue the books were so much better



and last of all.....

ANYTHING BY TAMORA PIERCE

especially the quartets which take place in Tortal....these books are absolutely fantastic and i have read every one of her books and am eagerly waiting for more... i have suggested these books to my friends, including those who hate to read, and all of them are now just as addicted to her books as i am... my favorite books by Pierce include:

the alanna quarter (song of the lioness)

the kell quartet (protector of the small)

the alainne books (daughter of the lioness)

the first book in the terrier series





HAPPY READING!!!!

Answer 4

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer is the best book I've ever read in my life. It's not just for young teens who want mystical, adults love it to. Then you should read the two more books that come after it, New Moon and Eclipse. The third book will be out soon, Breaking Dawn. Go to Stephanie Meyer.com to listen to the first chapter of the audio guide or hear news about the movie coming out soon. Please read it! It's about romance/vampire/coming of age.



If you want a real romance with everything added in. I mean ev-ery-thi-ng. Details and all then read The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes. It starts off slow but then it goes real fast. It's actually pretty good. It's done by three different authors with three diffrent styles of writing for each character.

Answer 5

In the following order:

1. Dracula by Bram Stoker (horror)

2. Prey by Michael Crichton (sci-fi)

3. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton (sci-fi)

4. The Tommyknockers by Stephen King (horror)

5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (classic romance)

6. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (classic mystery)

7. The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan (spy thriller)

8. The Hound of the Baskervilles by A C Doyle (Sherlock Holmes mystery)

9. Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon (modern psychological thriller)

10. The Client by John Grisham (modern thriller)



That should keep you busy :)
