Legacy of the Force
The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron's ass halfway through the first chapter.

The Bourne Identity / Supremacy / Ultimatum - Robert Ludlum
Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

-anything by Matthew Reilly, I'd rather read his books than watch an action movie because the action movies are boring and slow paced in comparison -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series by Douglas Adams -Starship Troopers - Richard A. Heinlein (sp) -Fields of Fire - James Webb (warning contains swearing and graphic descriptions of sex, violence, etc)

quote: Harry Potter
Yeah! 1984-George Orwell All Steinbeck novels Chuck Palahnuik books although those would probably be deemed inappropriate, especially Choke. Cat's Cradle- Kurt Vonnegut All Quiet on the Western Front Slaughter House Five -Kurt Vonnegut To kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee You don't Know Me- David Klass(Sp?) the curious incident of the dog in the night-time- Mark Haddon all the Dan Brown books. Give me time I'll think of more.

quote: I'm not totally sure that they would all be appropriate for the teen section
Haha. That was my biggest problem. The only really good book that was teen section material that I've read recently was Twilight by Stephanie Meyers. Its an amazing book.

Hmm. Well, I just read "Of Mice and Men", it's a good short read, and I enjoyed it.
