Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas books are pretty awesome, Christopher Moore is freaking hilarious, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend (which is little to nothing like the movie)!. All Americans, all modern, don't think they have an overabundance of big vocabulary!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I suggest any novel by Ray Bradbury!. Fahrenheit 451 is probably the most obvious choice for a book report, but my personal favorites are Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com this site has a list of 20th century American authors: http://www!.literaryhistory!.com/20thC/Mod!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
