I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.
I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.
As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.
And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

i have to read a book for english and i cant decide on what to do.
the only main requirements are that it has to be atleast 200 pages (no more than 300 please) and at our reading leve (10th grade)
my favorite book is the giver but i cannot read that because it is too short and i like books along that line.
i like more true to life kind of books with relatable characters and i dislike things like harry potter and lord of the rings
any suggestions? please if you name a book give me a little background info on it!
Well, in the 10th grade I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Scarlett Letter, "The Crucible," One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, "Death of a Salesman," and The Great Gatsby. (I can't italicize book titles here, so assume the ones not in quotes are.)
The two in quotes are plays, and still too short. I wouldn't really recommend The Scarlett Letter, because I sort of hated that one. Huck Finn wasn't bad, but if you're looking for a solider book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is your book.
The setting is in an asylum, and it follows the battles between the ward patients (led by the rowdy new patient McMurphy) and the head nurse.
It's about 250 pages, but I (someone who doesn't really like to read that much) can certainly say that it's a captivating novel. You might not be able to relate to the characters exactly (since they're adults in a mental ward), but it provokes feelings of empathy for them, and from what I've experienced in reading it has roughly the same effect.
