The Heart Shaped Box by Joe HillWww@QuestionHome@Com

The looong list had some good ones: The Outsiders=Amazing! and she only wrote it when she was 16 or something!. I loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, and I have it!. Haven't read it in a while, but i think i'm going to now--it's psychological, kinda!. Twilight series is ok, but overrated in my opinion!. Meg Cabot is good for a funny story; try size 12 is not fat series, 1800-where-are-you series(or something like that) and the Mediator series!. Hacking Harvard by Robin Wasserman!. It may be hard o find, but is definitely worth it! it's about these 3 guys, one a prodigy at Harvard, one an accomplished ebay seller and pushed by his parents, and one who wears funny t-shirts, they get a loser guy into harvard to prove to their parents that harvard isn't the best in the world, and a girl comes in so it's also a love story!. it's waay better than that description, btw!. also, 13 reasons why, about a girl who kills herself and sends out 13 tapes to the people who contributed to her death!. sad, but weirdly gripping!.
hope these help:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stephen King's best work will be great for you!. I recommend Salem's Lot, Thinner, The Tommyknockers, The Dead Zone, a book of short stories: Night Shift, but Misery will scare the pants off you!. It is so scary and yet is psychologically adept and tells us a little something about what writers go through with fans and what the writing process is about!. I have always tried to keep up with the latest in horror fiction; I just have to say that nobody comes close to King for satisfying fiction!. Not everything of his is great but his best stuff has humanity while not sacrificing rubbing your face in horror!. When you're through with King you'll be ready for other good stuff, but King is a great jumping-off place for modern fiction!. You might try Scott Smith also: A Simple Plan and The Ruins!. Very scary!. Great reading!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
