What are some great books to read?

The greatest book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
In Georgian England, Mrs. Bennet raises her five daughters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia with the purpose of getting married with a rich husband that can support the family. They are not from the upper class, and their house in Hartfordshire will be inherited by a distant cousin if Mr. Bennet dies. When the wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy arrive in town to spend the summer in a mansion nearby their property, the shy and beautiful Jane falls in love for Mr. Bingley, and Lizzie finds Mr. Darcy a snobbish and proud man, and she swears to loathe him forever. This is the beginning of their wonderful love story.

Personally I am very fond of A Clockwork Orange, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. (**Though, the first of my suggestions is not for everyone, so look into it a bit before reading.) Both are classics.

**A Clockwork Orange**

15 year old Alex lives in a futuristic disutopian society and wreaks havoc by raping and beating people with his 3 droogs. He is picked up by the police and chosen to undergo a new procedure garunteed to turn the bad people into good ones. The key of it though, is it strips Alex of his ability to choose, and raises the moral question of: Is choice always necessary even if the choice results in violence and crime?

The Lord of he Rings

Frodo, a Hobbit living in the mythical land of middle-earth undergoes a quest to save his world from utter destruction by destroying the fabled one ring of power and destoying in turn, the evil lord Sauron.

Keep in mind, both of these descriptions do neither book justice in any way, and I would recommend both very highly. Happy reading!

My best friend Jana wrote her first novel. Beings I know her, I read it. It's an exciting sci-fy with some romance, and action! I really think this would make a great movie because it's different, exciting! Here's a brief description:

There are a lot of beliefs out there. Some people think they got here be spacecraft. Some think they evolved, like humans, but in a slightly different direction. Some think they were created by God, after Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. However they came to be, the truth of the matter is..........
there are two species that are near-identical in every way that inhabit the Earth.......
one is Human, the other Mengliad.
You can buy her book on Amazon.com and search "The Mengliad". Happy reading :)

I love the classics but some of the best books I've read OTHER than those I found by accident. Here it goes

The Glass Castle ~ by Jeannette Walls'

Lullabies for little criminals~ by Heather O'neill

All the Fishes Come home To roost ~ by rachel manija brown.

Look the info up online as I am really bad at doing writeups for books. What I can say is all of the above made me laugh and broke my heart all at the same time. Very unique stories about children growing up in crazy circumstances, and all of them are based on the childhoods of the writers.

Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine

Just don't stay out after dark.

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school's social scene: somewhere less than zero.

When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life. But they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.

That's a summary for the first one, Glass Houses, there are 7 books in total. the 8th one is coming out I think in like June. 7 books sounds like a lot but they are amazing books. Better then Twilight in my opinion. There also like only 300 pages each.

Personal fave... Percy jackson. its about this kid who finds out the greek gods are real and living in the U.S. he also finds out hes a half-blood(half human, half god) he goes on all sorts of adventures with his friends, Annabeth (another half blood) and grover (a satyr-- half human, half goat)theyre making a movie of it (feb 12)

If you want a romance,mystery type read shiver I doint know how old you are but it is a good book. I cant really remeber the description but, it is about a girl mostly it switches through the book some to Grace to Sam who is a werewolf and Grace should be a werewolf because she got bitten but itsnt. That is one of the things that you have to figure out. They fall and love and it is Sams last year as a human(read the book to ucderstand) and now wants to be that way to be with Grace and then by the end you have to see is he a werewolf, human, dead , or alive?? Its a a good book!!

i would recomened comic books. manh=ga style. its a new way to read!
