Othello)Right now I'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and it's
pretty good. I read a lot as well. Gotta say my social life maybe
isn't fantastic either. ;) Probably not because of the books, but I
did ruin my eyesight because of reading too much. Yay literacy!...Show

answers3:I think you'd like The Silence of the Lambs. I'm a 15 year
old girl and I loved it. It totally kicks ***. It's about this FBI
agent named Clarice Starling who gets sent to interview a psychopathic
cannibal named Hannibal Lecter. (Is there anything more awesome?)
Anyway, he agrees to help her catch a serial killer if she reveals
details of her own life to him. It's scary and awesome. Lecter is one
of my favorite villains of all time. It's a really famous book, and it
was made into a Best Picture-winning movie. If you haven't read it
already, I really recommend it. It's really gruesome and will keep you
on the edge of your seat.But Watchmen is my all time favorite book.
(It's arguably the most celebrated graphic novel of all time, and was
the only one to get into TIME magazine's list of the 100 greatest
novels.) THAT one's about a bunch of super heros (although only one of
them actually has powers) in New York in 1985. There's a bunch of
them, but the main ones are The Comedian (a misogynistic war veteran),
Nite Owl (formerly a famous crime fighter, now an impotent middle aged
man), Silk Spectre (the daughter of another former "costumed
adventurer"), Dr. Manhattan (an ex-scientist who acquired super powers
after a horrific accident), Ozymandias (rumored to be the world's
smartest man), and my personal favorite, Rorschach (a borderline
sociopath who sees the world in terms of black and white, with no grey
area). When one of them is murdered, (I won't tell you which)
Rorschach goes on a mission to uncover the truth, during which he and
the others discover a plot to end life as we know it. There's a ton of
twists and random violence and it's got a really sweet(ish) ending.
Plus, it gives you a new perspective on the idea of super-heroes. It
shows a side of them you wouldn't see in your average comic book. It
portrays them as being just as flawed, if now more so, than the
average person. It's EPIC, but not for little kids. Lots of gore and
violence.I don't know about you, but I hate all the books aimed at
teens these days. I don't get why teenagers can't just read regular
books. I don't like Sarah Dessen's books (boooring.... why would I
want to read a book about teenage girls? I AM a teenage girl, and it
ain't all that great...) Plus, I really seriously hated Twilight. It
was the most irritating pointless book I've ever read. "Oooo I'm a
vampire, but I don't bite people... I'm so sparkly!" God, what a
stupid book......Show more
answers4:These are my personal recommendations for books:(You can find
my personal opinion of the one's I've read at my blog
CasCanRead.com) The House of Night series---It knocked me straight out
of my Twilight obsession. Even though I am still hyped about the DVD
and New Moon movie. The ending of the last book drove me nuts and I
can't wait to find out what happens next.The Morganville Vampire
series—This series is pure amazingness. Love, Love, Love it! It's
really at a tie with House of Night with amazingness. Vampire Academy
series--I just finished this and I can't wait for the next one! It was
awesome and totally made me cry like a million time and make me angry.
It sure does keep you on your toes.Evermore by Alyson Noel- Very
interesting. I could not put it down!Evernight by Claudia Gray- very
awesome vampire books…very very addicting and I cannot wait for the
next. It's like a WAY better version of Twilight.Society of S—This
book is very interesting. I believe it may be an adult book, but I'm
not sure. It's about a thirteen year old girl, but her vocabulary and
English is advanced. It's a good read though.Peeps—very interesting
(in a guys point of view.)Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen—awesome
book!The Gallagher Girls series is interesting...It's about a girl
that goes to spy school. The first book is "I'd tell you I love you,
but then I'd have to kill you".The two books I actually enjoyed
reading in school were Speak and Holes. Speak is a really good book.A
few other books I have read recently and enjoyed are: Kissing Kate,
The Bermudez Triangle, and Empress of the World.Vampire Chronicles by
Anne Rice.Some series that others have told me to read that are in the
Young Adult/ Supernatural genre are: The Mortal Instruments series,
Darkest Powers series, Maxium Ride, Vampire Kisses series, The
Vampire Diaries, The Uglies series, Chronicles of Narnia, Blue Bloods,
Sookie Stackhouse series, and Sweep series.Then these more classical
books: anything Jane Austen, To Kill a Mockingbird, Wuthering Heights,
Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Little Women, Odyssey, The Scarlet
Letter, and Treasure Island. All of those are part of Barnes and
Nobles Classic Collection.Any of these books listed can be found on
Barnes and Noble to know what they are about....Show more
