any readers?

[Spree]

dose anyone in here read? Any favorite authors?

I love vampires and things like that, (anyone read the Twilight series by S.Meyer?). I just got done reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, good, but I think I'm going to have to read it again. One of my most favorite books is The Color Purple by Alice Walker, very good even though the language is difficult.

I'm a huge bookworm but it sounds like our taste is a little different. Check out Chuck Palahniuk though, I think just about everyone can grow to love him.

I read a lot, or at least I used to.... I try to find time, but I'm just so busy with school and homework... I probably read a book every week to two weeks.

I loved the Twilight series and Pride and Prejudice, too. Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books.... I also like My Sister's Keeper, The Guardian by Nicolas Sparks, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and Emma and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë... Right now I'm reading Villiette by Charlotte and Empress by Shan Sa (it's about the first empress of China).

I don't really have a favorite author, but if I had to choose, then it would probably be Jane Austen or Charlotte Brontë.

I love books. Mostly real life type books. I've read alot about depression, eating disorders, ect. I find it interesting to read about other peoples problems.

[Bells]

^Then you would probably think my boring life is interesting. Depression, eating disorders... I've dealt with a lot.

I personally find those type of books depressing (because I can relate to most of them)... I prefer to read books with happy endings. I do like some books with sad endings, but only if they end that way for a good reason or if it was the only way the books could end.

[trying_to_be]

well half of my life story would( will? :) ) includethe books I have/will read, so my recomendations ( mostly for guys or gender nuetral)
Pendragon-fantasy
Alex RIder ( a series about teenage spies)
Cherub ( same as above)
harry potter
Dairy Queen/ the off season ( more of a girl book, some friends were talking bout it)
A million pieces- about and recovering addict.
Things not seen
vampire high
also authors: laurie halse anderson, pete huatman, john marsden,colfer,

all I can think of for now

btw im 13m but I read over my grade level most of the time so I think most teens would like the books

For book lists I recomend: ( google them)
reading rants
and teenreads.com

also if you feel like reading a somewhat gory and ( minor-medium innapropriateness)
I recomend this storyy you can read online. google: Home by robert muchamore. One of my favorite authors posted one of his books online for free since he didn't think it would get published.

I was just going to suggest him, he's probably one of my favorite authors. I've read most of his books, they're hysterical. I haven't read in a while though, for some reason there's not too much that keeps me interested enough to continue reading past a few pages. :confused:

[Shantih]

I love reading and buying books, my bedroom looks more like a library than anything else :lol:

My favourite authors are Stephen King, F. Scott Fitzgerald, C.S Lewis, Richard Matheson, J.D Salinger and Ian McEwan.

I'm a LibraryThing.com convert, I'm on there every day and get more joy out catolouging books than is really normal.

[emuhleigh]

Oh yeah, I love reading. I consider Harry Potter pretty freakin' awesome - right up there with oxygen - but I also love historical stuff. I've read all of Philippa Gregory's stuff. I also love, love, love J.D. Salinger and Laurie Halse Anderson. And, yeah, the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

Oh, I'm a total book nerd...If anyone out there hasn't read Terry Prathett, you havn't read anything.

Garth Nix and Scott Westerfield are good too, as wel las J.K. Rowling's books.


On the other end of the spectrum is Eragon and Eldest. *Gags*

to who posted that link, this is the teen book discussion :) not the adukt one :)

[ferret_lovr]

Oh My Gosh! You have almost the exact same taste as me! I LOVE the S. Meyer series and I am in the middle of the second one now. I also loved the color purple. I have a reading list that my boyfriend and I have been getting at book stores(although he doesn't read fantasy, he likes Non fiction and religion and history and such). So far I have bought Twilight and New Moon and I want to get Eclipse. I have Crank and I want to get the rest of those, I have the new teen #1 at Borders called Dreamland. I like a LOT of stuff but I am mostly into any kind of fantasy, romance, western, teen life....etc. Fiction is my weakness...:o)

[ferret_lovr]

I CANT BELIEVE I DID NOT MENTION HARRY POTTER!!! I am absolutely in LOVE with Harry Potter and I cried when I knew it was over. I think J.K.R should make a new series about Harry's Kids....at least it wont be over. :o( That would be totally awesome!:pibo: Does anybody whose ready the series agree with me? Also, my room looks like a library too. I guess I could say I collect books! lol. My mom build shelves into my walls all around my room! lol

[Kentanner11]

Hey who ever posted the library thing website thanks! Will have to check that out!

I am mostly into emo books too. Some good ones ( read a while ago, and were about middle/highschool level) were:

Child called it (LOVE the series)
Boy from the basement
Cut

Working on finding more that i really like, I am not really into fantasy (ie Harry Potter, etc.) to me it is just too "way out there". I just am not that creative and am unimaginative and would rather read non-fiction any day vs. fiction (unless it is "emo")
Anyone have "emo" suggestions?

[trying_to_be]

IF you were talkinga bout me, thers millions, just goggle teen book lists. teen eads is the biggest though ( i think)

[Mrrple]

I was bad mouthing the twilight series in a thread not too long ago...

I'll stay out of this thread >_>;

I just got done reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, man, talk about evil.


I am a huge book worm, so I've read on alot of subjects.

Midnight for charlie bone (a series)
A patch of bliue
Blood and chocolate, and The silver Kiss (both by the same)
The BFG
Hoot
Eragon and Eldest were excelent, and I wish he wold hurry with the third book
The Good Earth (pearl buck is stunning)

....those are just a few of my tops, but I've read so many, last year I was a library aid, and I read a book a day almost....

dose anyone have anything to say about Stephen King?

I like teen life, romance, fantasy, ect

I so cannot wait for S.Meyer to set out some teasers for the third, If Bella dosent wel, n/m i wont ruin it, but ya I was so depressed during the second book, you know they are going to start a movie....

[trying_to_be]

I tried reading harry potter, but I just couldent get into it. I just hate sticking to one series for that long...

[_xstarlight]

I love to read...
I love Harry Potter (obsession), Twilight, Vonnegut (my favorite), mostly. We just read Brave New World in school and I loved that.

[trying_to_be]

I hate school books I am convinced that the firsts four letteres of analysis were put there because of reading books and then analysing them :)
