Books to Read Question

BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS, help me! I need somthing new to get into... anyone?

Okay, so I don't mind if it's the biggest book you have ever seen, whether it's a series or not, etc.

I don't care for lameness such as Twilight, and I want something that is easy to get into, doesn't matter if it takes me forever to finish, just as long as I can get into it, then I'm good :)
lol thanks!

I highly recommend Cecilia Dart-Thornton (The Ill-made Mute etc), Herman Melville (Moby Dick!!), Cassandra Clare (The Immortal Instruments), Charles Dickens (Hard Times etc.), Emily Bronte (Wuthering Heights xx), Raymond E. Feist (Magician Series etc.), Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo, .. The 3 Muskateers), Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho),
For a lighter read; try Eoin Colfer ...
ummm .... J.R.R Tolkein (LOTR) ... That's all I can think of off the top of my head; but they're all really good books!!

One name: Susan Cooper. Her writing and her characters are always so rich and deep and real, no matter WHICH book of hers you read.

At the moment though, I'd recommend her book "King of Shadows". Lemme tell ya...if you ever thought Shakespeare was boring, just read that book. You might never look at Shakespeare or his time period the same way again. Susan does such a brilliant job at sucking you right into his world and breathing life and color into everything. Wonderful stuff. =)

Plot summary: Only in the world of the theater can Nat Field find an escape from the tragedies that have shadowed his young life. So he is thrilled when he is chosen to join an American drama troupe traveling to London to perform "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a new replica of the famous Globe theater.

Shortly after arriving in England, Nat goes to bed ill and awakens transported back in time four hundred years - to another London, and another production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Amid the bustle and excitement of an Elizabethan theatrical production, Nat finds the warm, nurturing father figure missing from his life - in none other than William Shakespeare himself. Does Nat have to remain trapped in the past forever, or give up the friendship he's so longed for in his own time?

Hey!
If your looking for something thats easy to read than Scott Westerfeld is your man! All his books are great, i think someone said the Uglies series already.

Um... The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is a really great book i think its Brilliant! -- one of the main reasons I love The Name of the Wind so much is that it has a lot of the things that are unsurprising in a high fantasy novel - largely stereotypical inns and innkeepers, a troupe of traveling performers, a school of magic, an ancient evil - but it manages to remain original at the same time.

Um... OH theres anything By Robin Hobb! I love Robin Hobb. If you were going to read anything by her I would start with The Farseer Trilogy - which is so good! Well i really loved it! YIts real easy to get into and once you start you really want to read and read until your done, so basicly you cannot put it down.... well i couldnt! So theres:
- Assassin's Apprentice;
- Royal Assassin; and
- Assassin's Quest.
and once you have done those and if you loved them than there is another like follow up Trilogy:
The Tawny Man Trilogy and theres:
- Fool's Errand
- Golden Fool
- Fool's Fate

What else, what else? Theres always teh Shadow of the Wind... theres the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett...the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin, Wuthering Heights... the Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke... The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho...

OH! lol Theres the The Sevenwaters Trilogy which was really good!
* Daughter of the Forest
* Son of the Shadows
* Child of the Prophecy
AND
The Bridei Chronicles
* The Dark Mirror
* The Blade of Fortriuhe
* The Well Of Shades

All by Juliet Marillier! I ahev to say that I enjoyed the Bridei Chronicles a little bit more than the Sevenwaters but both were really good!

and there is always the Pellinor series by Alison Croggon which was really good and the books in this series are:
* The Gift
* The Riddle
* The Crow
* The Singing

and now I cannot think of any more! lol :D Hope you find something here that you would like to now read.

Happy Reading! :D :D

If you have seen my latest question..You should try reading "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. It's quite a long book but it is pretty good. It's fantasy, adventure, and teens in the 1900's wrapped up in one. You'll probably like it. Hope I helped you. Good Luck.

My favorite books are:
Gone with the Wind: A classic love story that takes place in the south during and after the Civil War. I absolutely love this book and could read it for eternity.
Pretty Little Liars series: Pretty Little Liars.
'Pretty Little Liars' is a novel series written by Sara Shepard. It is based on the lives of four girls who were formerly a clique, with the leader being their best friend Alison. Alison knew each of the four girls' secrets, and was involved in a scandal dubbed The Jenna Thing. When Alison goes missing, the four friends thought their secrets were safe and began separate from each other. However, when they are finally reunited, they begin to receive strange emails, notes, and letters from someone named 'A'. The four books are about discovering who killed Allison, how A knows all their secrets, and most of all, who 'A' is.

Also the Harry Potter series is amazing, but you probably know this.

Uhm. How I Live Now is also amazing. It's about a girl, Daisy, who goes to England to escape her evil stepmother. She moves in with her cousins, and falls in love with one of them, Edmond. (I swear it's not creepy. It's amazingly sweet.) Then war breaks out in the country, and Daisy is seperated from most of her family. But they're reunited in the end, so it's all good. It's so sad and sweet.

if you want to know more, ask me. i'm such a nerd. xD
