nicoley, what kind of books do you like? I'll give you an honest suggestion if I'm familiar with the genre.

the odessy was pretty good... haven't gotten around to iliad yet. i understood it and i haven't studied greek mythology since i was 12... then again i got to discuss it a lot in my cp english class

Greek Mythology is good.
Just don't try to read 'The Illiad' or 'The Odyssey' without learning the mythology first. It makes no sense.lol

I love Douglas Adams! So good.

Oh, you should read something by Douglas Adams...Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and such...it's a sort of Science Fiction spoof...absolutely hilarious. At least I think so...then again, I have a weird sense of humor. Also, anything by Christopher Moore is funny. I'm into humor and philosophy now (the combination of Sartre with Island of the Sequined Love Nun is intoxicating). Love, Jen.

You and my sister would get along well. Maybe you should join my book club. It's meant to developed reading skills, speech skills, and develope the abiltiy to imagine things from books. It basically helps you learn to love reading.lol
We're reading Harry Potter at the moment. I get to be Harry and Voldemort.lol either that or the narrator I usually do narrator and a voice because I can do a british accent. Voldemort is often reserved for me and Thomas because we can do evil.lol evil is FUN!

That exactly how I am!!! I'm trying to become a smarted person, and read more to get a better vocabulary, but everytime I open a book I get bored!! Hehe.

lol my sis decided since i was never bored when I had The Hobbit or LOTR on me she was gonna read them. She got to page Two of the hobbit before she decided reading was too difficult.lol
I tihnk she needs glasses, i need a dyslexia note!lol

I'm trying to read more, so I've been looking over everyones reccomendations, but I can't pick one. This sucks.

Small tunes for a small harmonica.(read it!)

Rewaa

Dostoevsky rocks.

War and Peace sucked. Anna Karenina (dang...did I spell that right?) was better.

Couldn't get myself to read it after sitting through the torture of "War and Peace." Tolstoy killed any faith I had in Russian literature, except "The Brothers Karamazov" gave me a little hope.

War and Peace sucked. Anna Karenina (dang...did I spell that right?) was better.

3)"The Great Gatsby" by Fitzgerald

I absolutely despise this book, right next to "War and Peace". The paper used to print these books would much better be used for me to wipe my *** on, especially "War and Peace" which is about 1500 pages, uggggghhhh.

Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Aaaaa! Such an amazing book.

Note to everyone: READ IT.

I loved Watership Down...been a few years since I read it though.

I've never seen either of those movies, but i've read Watership Down as well. It's a really good book! (A little hard to get into, though)

Oh my gosh... I didnt read Animal Farm but i saw the movie. I was crying so much. First they chase Snowball away, then they take the old horse to the glue factory.

Then I watched Watership Down. That was even worse. Hazel was shot and they played that really sad music in the background and the black rabbit was leading his brother toward him *sniff*. Why do stories have to be so sad?

I liked Animal farm, I found it really...well just really different! But kinda disturbing. I liked the writing though.

I don't really like Animal Farm...I had to read it in English class. It was interesting, though.
