Hi
Other than going on the computer, I really love to read, but lately I haven't been able to find any good books. Can you suggest some of your favorites to me? That would be awesome for reading and maybe making a project about, like my Harry Potter game. If you reply, thanks for the help!

Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, pretty much anything Mark Twain. I also really like satirical books, and sci-fi (YES ARTHUR C. CLARKE), like 2001: A Space Odyssey. Good times, good times. I'm having trouble finding stuff to read too. >.<
Oh, and I read all the Warriors books that have been released so far.
Please leave a message at the beep.Offline

Cool, Space Odyssey sounds interesting (I like science fiction too).
Maybe I'll try the Warriors books as well, ha-ha, my library is getting pretty worn out

The Daniel X series by James Patterson, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous pie by Jordan Sonennblink, and The Hardy Boys series. Tell me more about what type of books you like, and I can give you a nice list.

Definitely not. We read that book in class and it was one of the weirdest books I've ever read. It's about a society where emotions are frowned upon and they don't know what animals are.
I'd recommend the following books
-Eragon series by Christopher Paolini
-Last Shot and Vanishing Act, both by John Feinstein (A little cursing, but nothing too bad)
-Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
-Cryptid Hunters and Peak, both by Roland Smith
-The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
-Leaving Protection by Will Hobbs
-Diamonds in the Shadow by Caroline B. Cooney
Those should keep you busy for a while.

If you read the giver to yourself, its a very good book. If its read to you, it can be very confusing and weird. You have to get the purpose of the book to get it, also. Those are really good books, too! Also, by Roland Smith, Elephant run.

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. It has a silly title, but is quite sensible.

It all depends on your age, interests, maturity level, etc.
As a young kid, I enjoyed reading Redwall, Eragon, Travel Team, The Westing Game, etc.
One really, really good book is The Count of Monte Cristo. Try reading A Tale of Two Cities as well.

Definitely not? The Giver was great. Its a science fiction book that asks the question "what if a utopian society actually existed"?
Also good reads:
The hitcher's guide to galaxy series
the kiterunner
A lot of book books have already been mentioned
