Shout down the moon -
Its an excellent book about teenaged rebellion, mistakes, heartache, love. Its amazing what people will do for love ...

Its a wonderful book, and a very easy read.

noughts and crosses, by malorie blackman, It really makes you think about racial descrimination.

Tigers Eye i dont know the author but the book is the greatest.. it keeps you wanted to keep reading it and you dont wanna quit.. at least for me anyway..

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

both by Gregory Maguire

This obession people have with The Da Vinci Code, it makes me want to read the book less and less. I'm not saying it's probably bad or anything - just that whenever a movie or a book come out, that everyone seems to love and talk about, it just turns me off.

I liked Wicked a lot, it was a very different look at "The Wizard of Oz." Currently I'm enjoying the "Baroque Cycle" trilogy by Neal Stephenson.

Try "Diamond Age" and "Snow Crash" by the same author.

As far as nonfiction goes, I think people should check out "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt," a great biography, by Edmund Morris.

Great book choices so far.

P.S. If you have the patience, try "Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

Bloodsucking Fiends, by Christopher Moore

A girl wakes up one morning in the streets covered by a garbage bin. Her arm is burnt and there's suddenly over 50 thousand dollars stuffed in her pockets. She has no recollection of what happened, or where she is. When she starts to grow suspicious of the strange changes in her body, she realizes that she can't stay awake during the day, and she has a weird urge to drink blood. Why has she been chosen? Who did it to her?

The Lovely Bones was a pretty good book - a little weird, and pretty sad - but it was still OK.

-Kate

Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen - Trilogy by Garth Nix

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

Harry Potter books are nice, as well.

KB2389: The Lovely Bones is so depressing. I read up to chapter 10, and I couldn't turn the page anymore.
