Favorite Books

sosleepy · 06-27-2007, 10:45 AM

Every few summers or so I seem to feel like reading a lot. This summer just so happens to be like that. I would like everyone to tell me the title of their favorite book(s). Maybe I will like them to.

One of my favorite books is A Lesson Before Dying. It is a good book and is similar to the book To Kill A Mockingbird.

Speaking of dying, "As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner is a great book. Anything by Flannery O'Connor.

My favorite book is definitely "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman.

Awesome, exciting book. Seriously. I highly reccomend it.

This book isn't very good if you're young because you won't understand most of the pop culture in it.

True... But if you're older than about... say... 16, you can really enjoy it. It's obviously not a children's book.

One of my favorite books is called The Giver by Lois Lowry, or something like that, and it's about this one community where everything is organized and there's no color or music... I won't spoil the book for you guys but I highly suggest it.

"A Child Called It"
I forgot the author, though.
It's a good book (based on a true story) for people with strong stomachs.

Why don't you try 1984 by George Orwell. It is interesting and really gets you think about what the government could be doing.

Enders Game

**Doug31** · 06-30-2007, 01:28 AM

My favorite book is "The Phantom Tollbooth."

i_like_ham · 06-30-2007, 01:35 AM

Catch-22, highly comical

MCRenaissance · 06-30-2007, 01:58 AM

Anything by John Steinbeck.

I liked Ender's Shadow a lot more. Bean was altogether a more lovable character.

Mine too. Except I gave my copy to my AP English teacher to read and he never gave it back. :/ Oh well...

abro13 · 06-30-2007, 03:37 PM

"It's kind of a funny story" is a good book. forgot who wrote it though. it does have profanity and sex in it at times but still a must-read.

sosleepy · 07-2-2007, 09:59 AM

I haven't been able to get on the internet lately so I just saw the suggestions. They all sound like good books. I was just wondering if there are several more books about Ender's Game. And if so how many? Also could someone give a summary of The Phantom Tollbooth.
