Book recommendations?
I am looking for a few good books to read. Some of my favorite books are:
Sophie's World
Ishmael
The Last Unicorn
Parable of the Sower
Yellow Raft in Blue Water
I enjoy history, fantasy, psychology, and books that really make you think or show you a new prospective on life.

what about 1984. that sounds like something you might enjoy.
also try the curious incident of the dog in the night time. its about a boy with autism and he is really intelligent in areas. i cant remeber all the details but i remeber it was very good and got me thinking.
a fantasy book i really enjoyed is the power of five series by anthony horowitz starting with ravens gate. but depending on your age you may not enjoy it. i love them and they are the ind of books that kepp you thinking about what is going to happen but they are classed as children books. anyway they are about 5 teenagers (14) who have to meet to destroy the old ones. but i think you would enjoy the first two more. have fun
