I've never seen the play, but I like violent fantasy books.
Oh, yes....I love them. I'd recommend the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. It's gory. I think it should be rated NC-17 for it.
^ would be the only horror books I'll ever read, prolly.
here we go.
But uh, here's what I recommend
(I'm extracting these titles from my summer reading list, and my SAT reading list.)
*
**
***
No star means don't know, but recommends it anyway.
These stars mean the level of vocab, w/ 1 star easiest, with 3 stars hardest (For me, at least...)
The 3 Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen,
The Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison
Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens ***!!
Jane Eyre, Villette, by Charlotte Bronte Both**
I know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou *-uh...a little....uh...ok..I'm gonna be immature about it.......eww....
George Orwell's Animal Farm, **
Any Mark Twain, pretty good, and ***
The Sword in the Stone and the Once and Future King by T.H. White (Highly recommend it, prolly heard about it...remember? X-men?? Lol) * for first book, and *** for second
I've always been a fantasy reader, and quite enjoy thriller's. I guess....Mercedes Lackey has pretty good book, GARTH NIX- HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Francis Hodgeson Burdett, author of Secret Garden and Little Princess, and..uh...Kristen Britain's book....'
HOLY SH*T I ALMOST FORGOT- ERAGON, BY CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI
BEST BOOK *EVER*
Now...let's see...Wind on Fire trilogy by William Nicholson, (also wrote Gladiator, and hada movie made after it) Tho....it's got some serious rebellious ideas in it
If you're currently into horror, I recommend the Anita Black series, by Laurell K. Hamilton. I've finished the first book, and it's pretty good.
If you like vampires, and werewolves and stuff, Anita Blake series once again, and Sunshine, by Robin McKinely. (Or anything that Robin has written will be fine, 'sepcially the Sword and teh Crown....2 incredible books)
Um....let me check my bookshelf....Tamora Pierce for more chivalrous fantasy novels!
if romance, try the Notebook. Nice one. Or Garden of Angels by Lurlene McDaniel.
biographies....um....read about whoever interests you. (In my library, half the bookshelf is dedicated to Adolf Hitler. Isn' that just *wrong*???)
Try Brain Jacques, any of his books.
perhaps...Lord of the Rings, if you haven't already read it, or maybe Harry Potter (please don't get obsessed....or I will personally wring your neck. ^-^)
Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are very good....but the beginning is kinda slow. Or if you like ...well, I think you'll like R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf chronicles better than Dragonlance, since it's....well, a different author. (Thousand orc's, by R.A. Salvatore, and his newest series is Spider Queen's somethin.. not sure what)
You might like His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman (I was obsessed w/ it, more than Harry Potter, and I'm not ashamed to admit it)
Um...the Sword of Shannara trilogy is also great, by Terry Brooks. I loved it to death, and for anything, that's where I got my RP name from...Eventine... That's an elf I love in the series.)
Oh, the Da Vinci Code by something I mean someone Brown, or something like that. It's a religious book- not too sure about it. Birth of Venus runs along those lines, too, and it's....I think it's a very mature book. (I nearly gagged, but read it anyway, 'cuz it was going to be one of the classics out there)
If you like samurai, or Japanese literature, Memoirs of a Geisha is *excellent* not sure by who...some American guy, and Cloud of Sparrow's and Autumn Bridge by Mushashi Takahashiis *really* good as well....though, maturity comes in place again....
Angels and Demons by someone again...I heard it was really good, but I just gotta reserve it from the library.
Runaway Jury and The Broker or something like that was great ...at least, that's what I heard from *every* single adult out there....
David Clement-Davies wrote Firebringer and the Sight, if you like reading books in aniaml's point of view. Sight is from a bunch of vicious wolves and a boy, and Firebringer is a thriller from a deer's point of view. (I know, whacko, but really good)(He's one of the best out there writing books like this, unless you like reading about horse, I recommend Ann Sewell, author of Black Beauty,)
yep. I'm good to go.
