Book Recommendations?

[hansthesockmonkey]

I loved our summer reading books!
Brave New World- Aldous Huxley (might be a little mature for younger audiences)
Fahrenheit 451 (4... something, not exactly sure)- Ray Bradbury
Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte (okay i know most people hate this book, but we just finished reading it in class and i love it! its hard to get through, but once you do its amazing, especially if you read it a second time. LOVE this book!)
Life of Pi- Yann Martel
Lord of the Flies- William Golding (AMAZING! the boys show how society is affected if structure is not upheld)
anyways those are the books we have read this year, in my P-IB Honors English 10 class.
Hope you enjoy them because they are all amazing books, that may be slow at first, but by the time they are finished you love them.

Oh, I just heard of Aldous Huxley on a flap of another book that I finished reading lol.

Anyways, yeah, I will be reading at least some of these books, whenever I can get through the list lol.

You should definately read Crank too, if you haven't already! I know some other people have recommended it also.
It's a really quick read (I read it yesterday) because it's all poetry, but a very, very, very good book nonetheless.

I love Ellen Hopkins  Crank is a good book,but I love Impulse. I wish I could write in verse as good as her.

Okay, I really need to make a list. So, I'm posting it here, just in case if anyone else is interested in posting anything, so there isn't any repeats. If you don't see your book on here, it means that I've already read it. Then it doesn't need to be on a to read list, does it? There isn't any particular order either.

No Author Name Given (I'll look it up soon )

True Colors (??? There's too many books with this name. I need an author or description)

The movie is really amazing as well. The only movie that actually is so like the book.

OMGOMGOMG, I don't even know where to begin. I've been obsessed with reading lately. Don't really know why. But, as I said, I've been a freak at B&N lately. XD

I'm actually such a weirdo about it that I've joined Shelfari.com now. XD I'll go to my account over there, make a list, and get back to you, 'kay?
