I absolutely love to read. Can anyone give me lots of great teen books (novels are great!) that you absolutely loved...Most likely if a lot of people have read it, ive read it too. so think of some good ones that not many have read. some examples of my faves are Looking For Alaska, and Hard Love. Just looking for some more options!Thanks a bunch.

Read these!

THE CRUCIBLE by Arthur Miller

Abigail, a nasty teenager accuses the wife of a man she's in love with of being a witch in Salem, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. Chaos breaks out.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen

The intelligent farm girl Elizabeth Bennett puts aside her prejudices to fall in love a snobby, arrogant nobleman named Darcy. Light, engrossing comedy. This was originally written for women in the early 19th Century

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux

A ruined genius with a distorted face causes catatrophes at the Opera House (which he inhabits the catacombs under) while dangerously falling in love with an innocent, virginal chorus girl and turning her into an star. Very exciting, but tragic.

THE HOBBIT

The storyline is too complicated to describe. Basically, a hobbit goes beyond his comfort zone to help a band of hardy dwarves retrieve their lost gold from the vicious dragon Smaug. Read it! It's my favorite book.

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS

Four girls keep their friendship alive by mailing their favorite pair of pants to each other as the travel all over the world. A delightful read about friendship.

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery

A story fresh from the Victorian Age that follows the life of an imaginative, redhaired 11-year-old orphan (Anne) who goes to live in Avonlea. It sounds old fashioned and stupid, but it's really fun to read!

MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA by Arthur Golden

An impoverished Japanese girl who is said to have "special talents" goes to be trained at a geisha house. She changes her name to Sayuri and blossoms into one of the greatest geishas in Japan. But she's secretly in love with an unattainable man of her childhood.

JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK by Sean O'Casey

This book is about a poor Irish family who believe they've inherited a fortune. This treasure is obscure, but you can find it at most local book shops (not Barnes and Noble or Borders)

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Oscar Wilde

A hilarious, readable play that mocks English society. Algernon is in love with his cousin Cecily. Cecily is a moronic bimbo that only loves men named Ernest, so he changes his name to Ernest. Go figure.
