Any good books?

Do you know any? Doesn't really matter what genre. I'm kind of tired of just picking a book off a shelf.

    I would suggest "A Game of Thrones," by George RR Martin. It's fantasy, which I was never into before I read that book, but now I'm totally hooked. The plot is incredibly complex, the character development is amazing, and you wouldn't believe how it ends! While it isn't my favorite book of all time, it is certainly the best book I've ever read.

    My favorite book is "The Odd Sea," by Frederick Reiken. It's the story of a family who has a child disappear, as told from the perspective of the missing boy's younger brother. The characters are so amazingly realisitc, it takes my breath away.

    Feel free to send me an email... Siddahleigh@yahoo.com... I can make dozens of recommendations, especially if I have some idea as to what types of books you really enjoy.

    Also, you might consider joining a book club. I'm in one currently, and while they mostly pick out Oprah Book Club stuff, it's interesting at least to read something out of my norm, and then discuss it intelligently with people.

    Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer, my whole school is reading the Twilight Saga and we've all fallen in love. It's about a girl who meets a vampire who lusts for her blood and I'm really bad at summarizing but it's an amazing book that I would recommend to any female no matter what they're like. A bunch of people. I bet, are gonna say this book.

    All-American Girl by Meg Cabot.

    Samantha Madison has a beautiful sister, a genius little sister, and is in love with her big sisters boyfriend. She's also an outcast of her high school. She saves the presidents life and... then what happens?

    This is a quick-ish read but it doesn't look that way from the outside. It's a book I've loved since the first time a read it and I've read it 4 times since. (Not as much as the Twilight series, mind you, but still)

    There's also the sequel called Ready Or Not, which I like better than the first xD

    Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game was my favorite book before I found Twilight. It's about this kid Ender who is really strong and really smart. They've been waiting for somebody like him to become the head honcho and lead in a war against the buggers, an "alien" species from outer space that earth has been at war with. Again, I suck at summarizing but my brother got me to read this book and I loved it. I mean the kid got sent to training school when he was 6 YEARS OLD!!!!! Ender's Shadow is a parallex book to Ender's Game, seen from Bean's eyes. Both books are hilarious with a little rude language, but that's forgivable. If you want a little insight on the book, I found this on youtube a while ago, http://youtube.com/watch?v=dV6hI0TzwAY

    A few others are Firegirl by Tony Abbott

    Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber

    Uglies by Scott W.

    Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

    Down A Dark Hall by Lois Duncan (read this over the summer, really good)

    Twelfth Night and The Tempest by Shakespeare (reading classics is impressive to most teachers)

    I Am America and So Can You! by Stephen Colbert (hilarious input on politics and whatever else he can think of by my main man Colbert! I literally LOL'd while reading this!)

    Speak by ??? (Read it in grade 7 and <3'd it)

    the twilight series by stephenie meyer. my absolute favorite books. i think that if you ask someone to explain the story, it sounds really crappy, but if you read it for yourself, it is awesome! i highly recommend!

    a great and terrible beauty and rebel angels by libba bray. the first book is really slow at first, but it gets really good afterwards. the second book is like 10X better than the first too. they are both really good.

    tamora pierce's stuff. my favorites are "the immortals quartet" and "the song of the lioness". she writes really good fantasy. she has different series that relate to eachother. they are really good.

    Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. A brilliant mixture of mystery, suspense and fantasy.
