Question Posted Sunday September 18 2005, 12:56 am
Does anyone know any really good books to read? I like to read all kinds of books. The last book i read was called "the lovely bones" it was an awsome book it was about a girl that got raped and murdered and the girl went to heaven and she was looking down on her family..I want to read books that teenagers would be interrested in!
15/female..if that helps with anything..
Thanks.
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (the original novel that the musical and umpteen movies were based off of; very suspenseful, romantic, and tragic. I love it)
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (Itâ??s great, even if youâ??re not a lord of the rings fan)
Witness by Karen Hesse
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorn
Nothing But The Truth by Avi
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger
Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Juno and the Paycock by Sean Oâ??Casey
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (I know, it sounds boring. But itâ??s really good. Colorful parody of Victorian England)
The Pearl by Steinbeck
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
The Forestwife by Theresa Tomlinson
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Dracula by Bram Stoker
If you are an aspiring writer, I highly recommend â??The Elements of Styleâ?? by William Strunk and E.B. White. It has everything you need to know about writing

A few others:
Speak
Cut
TTYL
The Earth, my butt and other big, round things.

Teza answered Sunday September 18 2005, 12:13 pm: I just got done reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. It is about this girl, who just turned 15. She doesn't make friends too easily and when they move to a new house she makes a friend. Her friend goes to camp so she decides to stay with her grandparents for the summer. Once she gets there, she completly changed. She starts hanging out with the wrong people, drugs, alchocol, sex. At the end something bad happens to her. You should read it. It's a true story and it's a diary. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

livestrong answered Sunday September 18 2005, 1:52 am: My favorite book was "A Child Called It" if you haven't read it, you should its based on a true story and the author is the little boy in the book, its kinda sad what his mom puts him through but its a great book.
Hope I helped...
And Im 15 just so you know so you will probably like it. [ livestrong's advice column | Ask livestrong A Question ]
