What's a good read?

[Deacon Frost]

I clasp the flask between my hands even though the warmth from the tea has long since leached into the frozen air. My muscles are clenched tight against the cold. If a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment, the odds of scaling a tree before they attacked are not in my favor. I should get up, move around, and work the stiffness from my limbs. But instead I set, as motionless as the rock beneath me, while the dawn begins to lighten the woods. I can't fight the sun. I can only watch helplessly as it drags me into a day that I've been dreading for months.

/cries at how good that is

I know, I know!

I didn't cry, or anything .. But, whatever floats your boat.

The Boy In Striped Pyjamas is a really good read too, a bit sad but it's really good.

The author actually died while writing the next to last book, but I'm told the guy who took up writing for him is pretty good.

Ha yeah I always tried to figure that out. I'd guess '40s but theres some stuff that wouldn't have existed in the '40s... who knows.


Anyway my one suggestion is Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It's a fucking good adventure and has some really good points about humanity.

that book is so sad =(.

Try Epic by Conor Kostick, i liked it alot

 

The Lord of The Rings trilogy

Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks.

Has quite a few twists there, and the ending makes you look for a sequel to the book, but there were none published I think :/

Well I recommend any of the following.
1984
Animal Farm
Speak
Fahrenheit 451
The Secret School

Hmm. What's the wheel of time series? What are they about?

Read the first 3 books, then stop.

The others are just pointless continuations where the characters travel from one place to another and back again in a gargantuan effort to fill Robert Jordan's pockets with money.

Also,

Let the right one in
American Psycho (50/50 chance you won't like it though)
American Gods
Name of the Wind (there is a section towards the end that is trashy, but the rest is good)

I second that, it's a great book =P

There are two sequels, I'm reading the second one now.

Anyway my one suggestion is Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It's a fucking good adventure and has some really good points about humanity.

I forgot that, but I read it recently and it's a fantastic book, very though provoking but not at all hard to read.
