book suggestions?
By 2 weeks I have to pick a novel that is fictional, min. of 200 pages, and is appropreate for a catholic school.
Any suggestions or what you picked on your first year of highschool and was successful?
Btw, I'm a slow reader, if it narrows down your list.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
omgoodness, you should choose Twilight, by Stephen Myers, it was an amazing book, but it's about vampires and forbidden love. And im not sure is it allowed for catholic schools.

Hmmm... hard to go wrong with the classics. "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. "Call of the Wild" or "White Fang by Jack London. "Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux.
If you're a slow reader, you might want to check out a website called librivox.org. They're doing audio versions of public-domain books (the copyright has expired), free to download and use however you like. All the books I've listed above are there, and there are thousands of others. You may do better listening to the books rather than sitting there reading.
Hope this helps.

I'm currently reading Independence Day (the book they based the movie off of) and it's a good book.

I agree with the first columnist about Water for Elephants. It's an excellent book, and I just picked it up at the local library. I haven't been able to put it down since I checked it out. I'm not going to spoil the story for you, but you can look for a synopsis online if you like.
However, I'm going to have to say that the Clique series is not exactly the best read that you can find. I just don't think that a book focusing on rich, spoiled, middle schoolers is the most educational book (since this book is for your school, right?).
Anyways, some other great books are included on this website:

An excellent book (which is also quite easy to read) is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It is over two hundred pages abd is very appropriate. Water for Elephants is a great read that you will not want to put down.
