Question: What is the best MODERN book you've read!?
By modern, I mean in the last 10-15 years, preferbably suitable for a teenage or young adult audience, but anything is appreciated!. I've read most of the classics, so please don't mention any!.

& PLEASE don't say Twilight, I've already read it, & quite frankly am annoyed at the bombardment of questions I've seen about it!.

Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

and The Secret of Lost Things---Sheridan HayWww@QuestionHome@Com

hey good for you!. i love reading classics too!.
try the books from KURT VONNEGUT, JR!.
maybe you'll like it!. full of symbolism!.
maybe you won't!. it's a matter of preferences!.

i don't like twilight!. or any of the book from the series!.
the premise is so exhausted and worn out!.
there are numerous books about vampires written five, ten years ago that are far superior to this series!.
that's my opinion!. it's a matter of preferences!.

good day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hello,

May I recommend a friends book and well known mystery writer Mary ann mitchell!. Her book Sirens call is about a deranged stripper who turns her male clients into furniture around the house by using their bones!. She sizes them up according to her decorative needs!. Her vampire novels are equally fascinating!.!.!.check them out! Mary ann used to give me advanced copies, they are very scary and deranged!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly!. The writing style is absolutely beautiful and the story is a fairly simple and universal coming-of-age/quest sort of thing!. It's especially good if you like books that reference well-known folk tales and fairy tales!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I completely agree!. x!.x The Twilight craze is so annoying!.

On to your question!.!.!.
Probably the Vampire Academy series, the Gemma Doyle trilogy or the Maximum Ride series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe some of Philip Roth's recent novels, especially "American Pastoral"!. also "White Noise" by Don DelilloWww@QuestionHome@Com
