Have you ever happend to read a book that u jus couldnt put down or was jus really really really good? post the books' names here. also, give a review of the book
-------------------------------------------------------
for me, it was The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer for me.
the only problem with the book for me was the ending. it left ya hangin in a sense of wat would happen. if u read the book, ull find out. i hope for a sequel.
4.9/5.0 stars

lol I HAVE A VERY WEIRD TASTE FOR BOOKS as some of my friends say.
I like classical/english literature books(including plays,and short stories)
some of my favs are:
-To Kill a Mockingbird
-Catcher in The Rye
-Grapes of Wrath
-The Good Earth
-Jane eyre
-The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
-The Crucible
+ a bunch of short stories like Goblin Market.
IMO ALL THOSE ARE 9.0/10 MATERIAL
also if u into tragedies/greek works i suggest
-Medea
-Oedipus Rex
-Antigone

omfg, i had to read the seeing stone (arthur book) for a report and it SUCKED! i hate that book n if the series is NETING like it, then i say chuck em all into a big fire.
also, read the "His Dark Materials" series by Philip Pullman. easily can rival the HP series.3 books- the golden compass, the subtle knife, and the amber spyglass. they r in order. WARNING: to all of you EXTREMELY religious pplz, this might not be for you as it has an aethiest (sp?) approach and sorta goes against the christian teachings (well, all the teachings that have to deal w/ God, The Almighty, The Lord, The Alpha and the Omega, The Creator....blah blah blah etc etc). But, its still a really good series, so you should try it out neways.

I've read many, but will list few. because i cant really remember some of them :sweat:
Eragon--Really nice fantasy book with dragons and magic, the next two books in the trilogy arent out yet(the trilogy name is Inheritance) but i'm waiting, semi-patiently
Sirena--Another really nice book, read it like 5 times
The Starfist line--still on book three but it is still addicting(my father is on like 10 or 11 or something)
Several Starcraft books--they're ok, based of the game somewhat
Thats all i can think of at the moment....
