What are some really good books to read?

catch 22 might be a little complex, i read that at 14 though (it's brilliant). the house of the spirits, read some Terry Pratchett, he's awsome! and Tom Holt (those are authors, not books)

Okay, the easy ones are: Black Beauty Alice In Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass (with footnotes if you can get it) All of the Wizard of Oz Books All of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books The Chronicles of Narnia When I was your age I read: Gone With the Wind Oliver Twist A Christmas Carol Treasure Island Robinson Crusoe Gulliver's Travels Wuthering Heights Jane Eyre Sense and Sensibility Emma The Legend of Sleepy Hollow To Kill A Mockingbird The Alfred Hitchcock Presents Series The Hobbit and The Lord of the RIngs trilogy I very highly recommend Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegone Days and Leaving Home - They are just the funniest stories ever.

Stranger in a Strange Land, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Brave New World, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the Wild Card series, the Xanth series and many more. I figured I should stop as I could go on all day.

Chronicles of Narnia Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice...starts with Interview With the Vampire

If you're looking for something more complex, I recommend that you read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. You're probably aware of this already, but it's great novel. It's action packed and hard to put down. And if you like that, read his other books: Angels and Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fortress. Enjoy! :)

Well, I am personally a fantasy girl, so I would suggest: 'Ingo' (tetraliogy; The Tide Knot, The Deep & The crossing of Ingo) Helen Dunmore "Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Amulet Of Samarkand" (Trilogy; The Golem's Eye & Ptomely's Gate) by Jonathon Stroud "Septimus Heap: Magyk" (sept...? I dont know, seven books, Flyte, Physik & Queste [more to come]) Angie Sage "Pellinor: The gift" (Tetraliogy:The Riddle, The Crow & the Song [I think]) By Alison Croggon "Uglies" (Trilogy: Pretties & Special [Plus a related book by the same author, Extras]) By Scott Westerfeld "Fearless" By Tim Lott "Artemis Fowl" (Six Books; ~ Artic Incident; ~ eternity code; ~ Opal Deception; ~ Lost colony & ~Time paradox) By Eoin Colfer "My Story" (Too many to list, [not fantasy btw]) {Several Authors} "Missing Persons; The Rose Queen" (Tetraliogy: Chocolate Lover; Ventian Policeman & unsuspecting gourmet) by M.E.Rabb "The Chain of Charms; The gypsy crown" (Six books; The silver horse, oh, I'm too tired to list them all.) By Kate Forsyth Anything By Diana Wynne Jones "Stormbreaker" (Alex rider series, ugg, sleepy) Anthony Horowitz "Parvana" (Trilogy? Sequel A: Parvana's Journey [From Parvana's view] Sequel B: Shauzia [from Paravana's friends view]) "Dragonkeeper" (Trilogy; Dragon of the Purple Dragon & Dragonmoon) by Carole Wilkonson "Juggling With Manadrins" (a sequel, Shooting the moon) By V.M.Jones {Not Fantasy} "Angel's in Pink: Kathleen's Story" (Trilogy: Raina's Story & Holly's Story) by Lurlene McDaniel {Not Fantasy} Ugg! I'm sleepy, thats all I got!

Wilbert smith,most set in africa. Dennis wheatley,about the occult Jean m auel,starts with clan of the cave bear Steven king,horror Conn iggulden,about genghis khan

the alchemist by paulo coelho, to kill a mockingbird by harper lee and johnny tremain by esther forbes. you might also like victoria holt. her other pen names are phillippa carr and jean plaidy.

Some YA books that I've enjoyed are the Books of Pellinor (Croggon), the Tamir trilogy (Flewelling), the Magician's Guild trilogy (Canavan), and any juvenile/YA by Heinlein. A good non-series book is A Brother's Price by Spencer. Ender's Game by Card is a terrific book with two sets of sequels of various quality. Dune (Herbert) is a great book with sequels and prequels that should largely be avoided. A wonderful series that is more written for adults is the Vorkosigan saga by Bujold. Another favorite of mine (definitely adult, with some intense sexual content) is the Kushiel series by Carey. Outside the fantasy area, at around your age I read and enjoyed the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Conan-Doyle, along with 1984 by Orwell, Look Homeward, Angel by Wolfe, and various short stories by Mark Twain, including the classic "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg".
