Must-Read books and recommended books.

Post by The Ice Maiden »

Hi, this is Beam-The-Cat.

I am here to talk about books.

I've always loved books, and always will.

THIS TOPIC IS FOR THE READERS!


First recommended book: Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic. It's a fantasy/adventure book that I happened to like very much, by Jennifer Trafton.
First recommended series: Warriors, by Erin Hunter. Adventure series.

Second recommended book: The Mysterious Benedict Society. Adventure/Novel. Written by Trenton Lee Stewart.
Second recommended series: Shiloh. Adventure/Novel. By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Third reccommended book: Ginger Pye. Adventure/Novel, again. By eleanor estes
Third reccommended series: Thea Stilton. This series is for girls only pretty much... heh heh. It was the only series I could come up with. My mind was blank.

Third recommended book: The School Story. Written by Andrew Clements.

Fourth reccommended book: Frindle. Also written by Andrew Clements.
Fourth reccommended series: Nancy Drew. It's a Adventure series.

Fifth reccommended book: 100 cupboards. It's a fantasy/kinda-mystery/adventure, one of my very favorite books.

My favorite books are the Semptius Heap series (like 450 pages per book. So only like 2 days worth of reading) and the Hunger Games

I love, love, love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books by Douglas Adams. Absolutely everyone must read at least the first. They're definitely not for everyone, though; they have a very unique sense of humor. You'll either find them hysterical, or the most boring, unfunny tripe in history.

One door away from Heaven, by Dean Knootz. I LOOOOOVE this book so much~
More of an adult book though.

I absolutely love Alice's adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking glass.
More of something for any age.

Another adult book, Rose Madder by Stephen King.

I'm a big reader, but thats all I can really recommend off the top of my head at 2 am.

I would list some but they've already been mentioned more than once or you HAVE TO read them if you want to have a full education (The Giver, Cather in the Rye, Brave new world).
