Question: Read anything I'd like lately!?
As of late, I've been running out of things to read!. This is very frustrating for me!. I'm a fourteen-year-old girl and I've read a few of the classics (Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Gone with the Wind, to name a few) and I like them once I finish, but I don't really enjoy them while I read!.
I've read the whole Twilight Saga (back off Twilighters, I'm already done!) and The Host, and loved them!. Chronicals of Narnia, Eragon and Eldest, and the Harry Potter she-bang!. Plus I really like Scott Westerfeld and Sarah Dessen!. So, any suggestions!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Here are some of my favorites:
Neil Gaiman is an amazing author! Any of his books are good!. Try Neverwhere, Stardust or Coraline!.
Edgar Allen Poe is a really good author!. Check out his poems and short stories!.
William Shakespeare is good too!.
Any books by Scott Westernfeld or Neal Shusterman are really good too!.
Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator!. And then there is the The Kiesha'ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail!.

could go on but if these don't interest you my other suggestions probably wouldn't eitherWww@QuestionHome@Com
The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver!.
It's a great story!. The main character is just a riot; she's witty and sarcastic and fun!.
It's so sweet; the ending is great :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
maybe the joy luck club
and maybe the series of unfortunate eventsWww@QuestionHome@Com
To catch a pirate by Jade Parker It's a wonderful pirate love story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The Titan's Curse would be a good one!.
And The Alchemist would be another!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Go Ask Alice
this book made my cry its the diary of a real girl who got into the world of drugsWww@QuestionHome@Com
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier is a "classic", but I think it is easier to read than the ones you mentioned!. It's creepy, and you really feel for the main character!.
The Westing Game (don't remember the author) is probably written on a lower level than you can handle, but it's kind of a puzzle book, and you're trying to solve the mystery before the characters!. It's fun!.
Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden, was very good, 100X better than the movie, and is a great glimpse into another culture!. The same can be said for Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan!.
I'm not well-versed in young adult novels, but it looks like you've got plenty of suggestions there!. When I don't know what to read next, I browse around Amazon!.com, typing in books I've liked, then seeing what else is recommended!. I write down the titles that sound good, and then go to my local library's website and have them sent to the local branch!. I don't have to spend a dime!Www@QuestionHome@Com
i just answered the same question for someone else and they mentioned very similar books!. i did have a lot of time on my hands, but here goes
