Favourite Books/Recommendations

Tragic.:

Godless - Pete Hautman.

Good and funny book. They worship a watertower...

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. It's a memoir of his childhood, and what a crazy childhood it is! It's just...wow. It was amazing, really. :yah

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. I love his writing style.
Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Just amazing.
Pet Sematary by Stephen King (Honestly, the only Stephen King book I didn't have to force myself to read.)
The Giver by Lois Lowry.
I Am the Cheese by Robert Cormier.
Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli. I read this in the sixth grade and it was really good. Even though I thought Leo was a girl for the first half of it.
A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck. I found it mush better than the prequal A Long Way from Chicago.
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Who would have thought that a boy stuck in the woods would be so entertaining.
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. I like books based around WWII.
A Coming Evil by Vivian Vande Velde.

Duma Key - Stephen King
the Hannibal series - Thomas Harris
The Day Watch series - Sergei Lukyankeno
The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova
The Dark Tower series - Stephen King

Eight Grade Bites/Ninth Grade Slays ::inlove

Heather Brewer.

Any Mr. Men or Little Miss. Books.

or any by Louise Rennison (: Classics!

Hotblood. Erotic horrors.
:tehe:

The House of the Scorpion- Nancy Farmer
A Girl Named Disaster-Nancy Farmer
Both really good books by a really good author.

I can't believe no one suggested these books.

Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West is like one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It's so cool to hear the Witch's side of everything, because the world seen through Elphaba's [the witch] eyes is pretty cool.
Nineteen Minutes. Frankly I'm more than a little shocked that with all the mentionings of Jodi Picoult no one said this book. It's an amazing read that I finished in one day while I had in-school suspension [yeah I know, bad kid], and it has one of my all-time favorite quotes in it.
Peter: Get off...
Matt: Yeah, you wish you could.
Peter: Matt, how long is your dick?
Matt: Wouldn't you like to know, homo.
Peter: No, I just wanted to know if it was long enough for you to go fuck yourself.
Amazing.
And Life Expectancy. Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors and this book was his best so far that I have read. It kept me soooo interested and it had as many twists as a bag of pretzels. I highly recommend it.

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Crank by Ellen Hopkins

I recommend both those books so bad. :yah
Hopkins is an amazing writer.

I highly recommend the Harry Potter series, of course.
Almost anything by Sarah Dessen.
A Northern Light - Jennifer Donnelly [Great Book]
Dangerous Girls & The Taste Of The Night - R.L. Stine [Vampires] [Awesome books]
Can't Get There From Here - Todd Strasser [Freakin awesome book]

Read em'. They're all awesome.

Nora Roberts - Rivers End.

It's such a well written book, the storyline is amazing and it's such a page-turner.

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill is my new fav. It's the most addictive book I've picked up this year.
Stephen King books, all time favs are Insomnia and Gerald's game.
The Garth Nix series.
Catcher In the Rye.
Lord of the Flies
The Lovely Bones(? If I can remember correctly)
Othello. The only Shakspeare I love with all my heart.

The "Cirque Du Freak" and "Demonata" series by Darren Shan are good. Someone on here mentioned them, only I don't think they made them out too good. I will admit that "Cirque Du Freak" is a bit better than "Demonata" (in my opinion) but both are good to read. Well...I'm actually still reading "Demonata".

Oh...and anything by Stephen King... :mrgreen:

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
PS, I Love You by Cecilia Ahern
Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
Tithe by Holly Black
Crunch Time by Mariah Fredericks
The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer

Those, in my opinion, are love.

Diary and Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Anthem by Ayn Rand
The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger
The Diary of Anne Frank
Carrie by Stephen King

I think there's more, but can't quite remember now...

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

It's about music and running around Manhattan at night after a concert, and it's being made into a movie that's coming out in October, I think? It was really funny, but contains a lot of swearing.

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Crank by Ellen Hopkins

Impulse is amazing.
It's one of my favorite books.
I lovelovelove Ellen Hopkins. <3

I recommend Cell, by Stephen King. I don't really know how to genre-ize it, but it's an apocalypse-type of book. It's about the end of the world. People who use cell phones start to go insane and kill everyone, but the story shifts and changes and there are twists. Even if you don't like Stephen King, I think you should read the book. It's...different. :cute:
