Im currently reading Harry Potter, any people recommend another good book!? possibly fantasy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've never read them, but I'm planning on it when they're returned to the library: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books!. They sound really interesting and I've gotten a lot of recommendations!.

also, "The Chocolate War" and "Beyond the Chocolate War" by Robert Cormier are really good, they're all about boys in high school!. That's a really horrible description, but I don't want to ruin it!. You can look it up online, though, if you want to know more about it!.

Someone mentioned the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, and I second that motion!. I've read them all multiple times and they're really good fantasy/sci-fi!.

Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" is another I'd recommend!.

Ray Bradbury is a great author too!. If you haven't read Fahrenheit 451, you really should get a move on!.

I wish I could recommend some classics, but I haven't read that many!. I would say, if you want to read a classic, just get some recommendations and pick one that interests you!. I really like Anne of Green Gables, but it might not interest you!. I don't know many males who've read them!.

Happy reading!

Why dont you read some of the old classics, maybe you could read catcher in the rye!.
PersonalIy I really enjoyed the rules of attraction, especially the connection with sean bateman to patrick bateman from American Psycho!.
But really, I just recommend heading to your local library, you never know what you may find!.

Oh, and maybe you will consider this a little young, but at 21 I still love these books, Christopher Pike books, sometimes alittle bit sci fi-ish, pretty cool, all sorts of ones, sometimes about vampires, sometimes time travel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try
1 ) James Hilton's ' The Lost Horizon '!. Even president Roosevelt during the 2nd world war makes an indirect hint to this book by calling one of the secret bases as Shanghri - La!.
2) isaac Asimov's ' The Martian Way'!.

Both are extremely capturing !Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle!. Its about a comet that strikes the Earth, the end of civilization as we know it and the battle for the future!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The edge chronicals, brilliant fantasy!. also A series of Unfortunate Events, The Diskworld Series, The Keys to the Kingdom series, The Wind Singer series, His Dark Materials Series!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

catcher in the rye, very suitable for someone your age!. you should definitely read it before you leave school!.

also try animal farm, great book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
