Cheese Nip 2 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I don't read very much, but I really liked The Outsiders, which I read in 7th grade, and The Great Gatsby which I read this year. The latter you'll probally read in school if you haven't already, and it's a little advanced in its subject matter, but I thought it was great. Those two are standouts for me, and I usually don't like books, so that must mean they're pretty good.:) Oh, and Jurassic Park is good too of you liked the movie. It goes a lot deeper, but there might be some gruesome stuff in there. It's pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arantza Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 It depends on which kind of books you like to read... I love El Túnel (The Tunnel) by Ernesto Sabato; I don't know how hard it is to find it in english, but if you come across it, you should definitely read it. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! :D Give it a go...: Also, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Rez Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I recommend some of Ayn Rand's books, like The Fountainhead and Anthem. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Fountainhead is amazing too, but I found it a bit boring at some parts :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't read very much, but I really liked The Outsiders, which I read in 7th grade, and The Great Gatsby which I read this year.

Those two are standouts for me, and I usually don't like books, so that must mean they're pretty good.:) I've read both of those in school as well and enjoyed both of them. I think "The Great Gatsby" took a little bit more effort to get into, but that's alright. The Catcher in the Rye Frankenstein To Kill a Mockingbird :nod: "Frankenstein" in particular is SO much better in book form than it is in movie format. The tone is much darker. The other two are just fine as well. Also my favorite classic, 'Wuthering Heights'. :dazzled: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey YES YES YES. The book is ten times better than the movie, and I'm a huge fan of the movie. My brother (who hates reading) even said it's probably the best book he has ever read. Please check it out. I recommend some of Ayn Rand's books, like The Fountainhead and Anthem. :nod: I've never read The Fountainhead, but I'll vouch for Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Rez Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I've never read The Fountainhead, but I'll vouch for Anthem. Okey-dokey. You won't be disappointed if you do start to read Anthem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 When I said "I'll vouch for Anthem," I was agreeing with you. I've read Anthem more than several times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
