Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've only read Fahrenheit 451 too!. It's not "fun" but it certainly contains disturbing messages!. If I remember correctly it's set in a future world where it's illegal to read books!. The main character is part of a group of people who burn and destroy books for a job!. Then one day the protagonist grows curious and finally decides to read a book himself then has to run away or get arrested!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do what I do you just read whatever books are popular maybe try these:

The Tomorrow Series - John Marsden
Spy High (series) - A!.J!. Butcher
Twilight (series) - Stephanie Meyer
The Host - Stephanie Meyer
Keys to The Kingdom (series) - Garth Nix
Maximum Ride (series) - James Patterson
Cherub (series) - Robert MuchamoreWww@QuestionHome@Com

I've read 'The Book Thief' and 'How I Live Now', both were pretty good!. But I read them when I was 13/14!. I'd recommend 'The Book Thief' - quite a moving story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have read escape from memory - very good
and I think a few of the others, but I'm not sure - I read so many :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only one of those I've read is Fahrenheit 451, but I really liked it!. ^__^ You should read it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the only one i've read is Farenheit 451 and it was really good!. you should read itWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm a 17 year old and the ones I have read from that list was phenomenal!.
The book thief was heart breaking but well written!. Markus Zusak is an exceptionally talented Australian author!. The Messenger was also good!. It deals with what is right and wrong and how to help others!. I was hooked while reading it!.

Anything by ray Bradbury is great!. I prefer his short stories but Fahrenheit 451 is the most famous and best novel length stories!. He is considered the father of science fiction and I enjoy his work!.

Meg Cabot, I enjoyed when I was younger, but I guess if you want a little chick flick in book form shes the gal for you!.

Nick Hornby Is good!. Hes an urban writer and his stuff leans to a bit darker!. Think Perks of being a Wallflower!.
Slam revolves around a teenaged skateboarder!. Its good, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
