<p>^ Is someone obsessed with the Hitchhikers Guide?</p>
<p>I love the Uglies series by Scott Westerworth. He alludes to many things and I constantly reread it, then catch on to even more of his allusions.</p>
<p>If you like the Hitchhiker's Trilogy (yes there are more than three, it's just what it's called), you should also check out the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Same dry British humour, but with a fantasy bent instead of science fiction.</p>
<p>Haha, typically the books I'd recommend would be labeled classics, so here's one that...isn't!:</p>
<p>Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card.</p>
<p>Sci-fi. About a group of precocious and intellectually gifted kids (Ender Wiggin, foremost) who go to Battleschool and are trained to be the future commanders of Earth against an alien race referred to as "buggers." Deals lightly with the military strategy and null gravity in the battleroom as children command armies and squadrons against each other. Also tells the story of Ender's brother and sister (Peter and Valentine Wiggin) in their ascent to power via the web. =]</p>
<p>It's pretty awesome. Amazing awesome.</p>
<p>Watership Down is pretty cool too. 'Bout some rabbits. Yeah.</p>
<p>Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides is one of the best modern books I've read.</p>
<p>would have to agree with taggart. ender's game is one of the smartest, funniest, most enjoyable, and at the same time most philosophical fiction works i've ever read.</p>
<p>I love Digital Fortress
and The Uglies series</p>
<p>ummmm well my current favorite book is Candy by Kevin Brooks.
SO GOOD. there are some great passages in there. </p>
<p>Night was a great book
The Bell Jar
The Devil Wears Prada
Blue Bloods
I have a ton more I'm forgetting.</p>
<p>I'm currently reading Atonement and I like it</p>
<p>my guilty pleasure has to be gossip girl/the a-list</p>
<p>Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (I don't know the author), The Sibyl by Par Lagerkvist...</p>
<p>Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, or even George Orwell's 1984. </p>
<p>Go for 1984. I <3 Dystopia</p>
<p>How many of these threads exactly are there? Does anyone use google...</p>
<p>either way, I never read so I'd agree with the suggestions above. I've read ender's game from the above list for school (the only time I'm coerced to read), and it wasn't that bad.</p>
<p>oh and

[/quote]
epic fail. tried to get past page 50 for 2 weeks because of all the harry potter hype. didn't work out very well...</p>
<p>^ Prisoner of Azkaban was the only one I liked.</p>
<p>I wanted Harry to die. I read all of them hoping he'd get killed off, but does he NOOOOOO! He almost gets killed, but NOOOOOOOOOO he has to be brought back to life.</p>
<p>Tubachick, I Know!
I Was So Hoping That Harry Would Die In The Last Book
And I Was So Happy When There Were Rumors That Jk Rowling Might Write Him Off</p>
<p>And He Just Has To Be The Only One Alive. Goddd</p>
<p>thanks for telling me what happened, I never even knew the ending of the HP series...never bothered to care past 50 pages of book 3.</p>
<p>she's come undone is one of the best books of the 90's. also, flowers for algernon is cool. breakfast at tiffany's is a good novella.</p>
