I don't really have a favorite book, but I've liked the books I have read so far. In school we read a novel called The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby is a work of fiction that takes place in the 1920's. Many students in my grade didn't like the book, but I liked it. Two other books that I'm reading right now are Rant and The Catcher in The Rye. Both of those books are great and interesting to read, but I suggest you shouldn't read them until you're older. My English class is reading The Catcher in The Rye and it has sexual references. Rant has a WHOLE lot more sexual references in it than The Catcher in The Rye.

But why would they have a book with sexual references in it?

The book was very descriptive on that specific part with a lot of dialogue which I should not mention.

Hello, people! I really want to try out the book, "Twilight". Most of my friends have been telling me about the book, and I feel like reading it, not because my friends are reading it and I'm the only one that's not. rolleyes
I know it's VERY long, but, I want to try it.

xXx_Katara_xXx Oh, I can read that... I hope. I also want to see the movie, too. Why does people even think Twilight, the movie, is SUCH a wonderful movie? Is it because of the person that plays Edward? Why do they think it is so wonderful? I am not quite sure. Perhaps because Edward embodies the old persona of males... Myself...I was not impressed. Edward came off as a controlling, stalker, emo guy to me personally. I kind of read it for laughs. There are better vampire books out there if it is vampires you like and there are better male characters. But I won't make this in to a Twilight rant.

My favorite book series are:
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy because it is epic. It is also interesting that there is no religion in the books despite it being such a large and developed world. I loved the characters. Sam will forever be my hero. I am also crazy about the movies.
His Dark Materials (or The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass): this series changed my perceptions of what the afterlife and god and the universe could be. It was amazing.
The Chronicles of Narnia: because it is classic.
Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising, again really really good with amazing imagery.
A list of randoms with reasons too long to explain my likings: The Book Thief(Zusak), Dark Lord of Derkholm, Walk Two Moons (Creech), Impulse (Hopkins), Hawk Song (Atwater-Rhodes), Holler If You Hear Me: the diary of a Young Black Man in America, Lullabye (by the author of Fight Club...I can't spell his last name) er...there are too many....I read a lot.

I bet I would have read the Twilight series, but usually very large fan bases make me turn away from them. Girls are way too obsessed with Edward.romenlady89 A list of randoms with reasons too long to explain my likings: The Book Thief(Zusak), Dark Lord of Derkholm, Walk Two Moons (Creech), Impulse (Hopkins), Hawk Song (Atwater-Rhodes), Holler If You Hear Me: the diary of a Young Black Man in America, Lullabye (by the author of Fight Club...I can't spell his last name) er...there are too many....I read a lot.
The author of Fight Club and Lullabye is Chuck Palahuik. If you read the post about my favorite books, he also wrote Rant.

I want to read Haunted just out of curiosity since I have heard it has triggered the gag reflex quite often. Chuck just goes there.
