I'll tell you a book that I considered to be really disappointing: The Shipping News. It won a Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1993, which made me think, ah ha, it will be a great book. But I found the writing style of Annie Proulx to be so off-putting that I put it down after a few chapters and never really got into it...I've never read a book BECAUSE it was a Pulitzer winner, but usually those books get a great deal of attention and often amazingly-well written. (My favorite book ever is Lonesome Dove, which won the prize for lit in 1985) Some of my other favorite books are Pulitzer winners, too...John Updike's Rabbit at Rest and A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley. Now, a secret confession: Some of my MOST favorite books are the Peanuts hardbacks that the late cartoonist Charles Schultz's wife Jeanne is printing, about four per year. Sometimes I sit at my desk and giggle away, which gets me some very strange looks from time-to-time! Every like needs a little Snoopy & Charlie Brown and Gang in it, methinks!

the author of the kite runner wrote a book called a thousand splendid suns which is very good. Also try the author Mitch Albom he has some great stories.

Prayers for Sale.

In the Woods.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Divisidero.

The Lobster House.

Well for a boy or girl I recommend " Z for zachariah " don't read it's plot on wikipedia or anything because it gives too much away. I cried reading that book, no one else did, I guess the thought of being the main character scared me. It's by something .O . Brian or something like tht I forgot sorry

Also for a girl " star crossed Romeo and Juliet " by rachel wing it's not romeo and Juliet but it's an amazing book I loved it.

And for a girl I recommend any book by Sarah dessen though her best two are " the truth about forever" and " lock and key "

Hope I helped

what i always find interesting and really good are the classics books like Romeo and Juliet, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of OZ, The Great Gatsby, Journey to the Center of the Earth, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, and other books like that. I have read all of these and i thought they were great.

Anna Karenin (kind of long).. Wuthering Heights (excellent).. The Great Gatsby.. The Scarlet Letter.. Of Mice and Men.. This Side of Paradise.. Tender is the Night.. The Last Tycoon.. Julius Ceasar.. Dracula..

That's all I can think of for now, I really enjoy them(:
