'a time of angels' is my fave book becuz thats how i found my favorite author now, karen hesse. my other favorites are:

2. 'witness' also by karen hesse, very well written and interesting.

3. 'white oleander' by janet fitch. truly original and you can feel astrids pain. also see the movie. maybe more for girls.

4. 'stones in water' by donna jo napoli. a great author, different from other holocaust books.

5. 'speak' by laurie halse anderson. very blunt and true-to-life. i suggest this book more for girls too, its so awesome.

6. 'holes' by louis sachar. amazingly written. you have to remember every little detail to fit all the pieces together, but its worth it.


i noe it seems like i have a lot of favorites, but these are all great books, you have to read them. they certainly brought some entertainment into my life.

I like a lot of books. I really don't have a favorite. But one good book is Someone Like You, & i'm reading a book called Over The Moon (it's a weird title but the book has nothing to do with the Moon).

Have a nice day,

thank god... you ppl actually have good taste in books. love A Clockwork Orange... really really want to read 1984. I just finished Brave New World, it was ****in amazing. i obviously like all the ****ed-up future books ahah Smile

Contact by Carl Sagan is another good one. it's kinda futuristic, tho it was written as tho it could happen right now. and the mesages about humanity and faith and science and love are so amazing... it blew me away.

Handmaid's Tale is a good one... It's like the feminist 1984. And if anyone here has not read 1984, get on that! Orwell's other stuff is great as well.

Right now I'm reading Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. Pretty funny.

Books by Amelia At****er-Rhodes...and books about witchcraft, vampires, etc.

I thought the Crucible was a really good book. A lot of accusations on witchcraft...based on the Salem Witch Trials. Wink

From The Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz and 1984 by George Orwell. Right now I'm reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens; but this novel seems to be bigger than the Bible..

A Tree grows in Brooklyn is my favorite book. It's just beautifully cleanly written out, even though the things she writes about aren't clean, it's just wonderfully refreshing to read it and know the characters so well; even though I'm making it sound really freakin boring, it's not. I like Sissy best.

Lots of love,
Lynne
