What are some books i should read?

Featured Replies

Many nice recommandations already :)

 

Maybe add The Boys From Brazil? and Lord of the Flies (yes, not of the rings ;) )

Also the Edda

and since several people said a Son of Ice and Fire, personally I prefer the book series that influenced that one: The Dragonbone Chair (Tad Williams)

And this one:

J.S. Foer - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

 

I've never readen something like this in my whole life :surprised:

 

I agree, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is probably one of the best books ever written...

These are nice too:

The Catcher In The Rye

Kafka On The Shore

After Dark

And this one:

J.S. Foer - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

The past participle is "read". I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it.

Back on topic - Oscar Wilde - "The Picture of Dorian Gray" :heart:

Sorry, I wasn't sure which one is the right past participle for that verb, so I looked on the Internet and I found that it could be both read and readen. Readen is dialect and archaic English though.

I'm not a native speaker, so if I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

Yes to "Lord of the Flies." It's perfectly scary.

 

Also, this thread is reminding me of things I've been meaning to read, but haven't. Several people brought up "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close." I've seen the movie, and I thought that was pretty good. I'll need to go to the library and see if they have that book there.

To be honest, I've never heard anyone use 'readen'. But then again I haven't seen much of Britain so it could as well be readen, I guess. There's really no need to apologise :P

I'd like to read a book in English, preferably dedicated to teenagers (my English teacher in secondary school said that there's a lot of good books for teenagers in English literature :D ) that doesn't contain lots of advance vocabulary :D

what would you suggest?

^ Witch and Wizard books by James Paterson would be a good choice! I'm reading the second one right now.

 

Other books I recommend would be

Breathless

Crazy Beautiful

Hit and Run

Down a Dark Hall and any other book by Lois Duncan. :P

Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert

I just read Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth and they were actually pretty good (though there is going to be a third one). They are kinda like The Hunger Games where they are set up in the future with a different kind of society its interesting.
