I don't know if I can post this here or not :/

I am looking for a new book to read. Something interesting, easy to get into.
I like books like Harry Potter and Fallen, Classics are great too.

Anyone got a book they can't put down?

some good books i read last year in my honors english class were Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a MockingBird, The Great Gatsby, Things Fall Apart, and my most favorite of all time, Romeo and Juliet. But i'm pretty sure you might have read most of these already, lol :)

Hey Noah.
I have actually only read Romeo and Juliet (it's my favorite too :3), I've been meaning to read To Kill A Mockingbird... My local library doesn't have it and I don't want to buy it in case I don't like it.

you only read romeo and juliet? wow, you seem like the kind of girl who would've read all of those books already, and maybe more than once, haha :). But yeah, to kill a mockingbird was a pretty good book, but i missed about 5 or 6 chapters because i went on a trip and didnt read, lol. Another book that you should get if you didnt read it should definitely be Of Mice and Men. Good book with a really cool story line and good plot.

I love Of Mice and Men. It was brilliant.
I read a lot but never got round to some due to the crap library.

Of Mice and Men was awesome. But it was sad when lennie accidently killed the puppy because the puppy bit him and he wacked it, and then george told him that he wasnt gonna be able to tend to the rabbits. That, and romeo and juliet, were probably the only 2 books i read last year that i actually read everything, haha.

The Eternal Husband by Dostoevsky. It would be difficult to read because some paragraphs go on for a few pages at a time, but he doesn't trail off like in most of his books, and it is definitely worth it.

Um, if not that, then try that Patrick Ness series that was out a while back. It was kinda gripping. Garth Nix's series are good too.

"The Olive and The Dawn" as well as "L (and things come apart)" by Ian Orti are two of my favorites, and they're only around 100 pages each. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is great, even if you don't like his other stuff. I'm reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larrson right now, it's also amazing, and the first of a trilogy.

Yeah the Dark Tower series is a great read. Anything by Poe is good too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will definitely check out The Dark Tower. I might have that in my bookshelf somewhere.
