<p>Hey all, anybody know some good books to read? I really like war books, like Fallen Angels, fantasy...like redwall :), or adventure like I am Legend.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Read the book: Rifles for Waite by Harold Keith. </p>
<p>It's an excellent war book/romance book that dates back to the Civil War.</p>
<p>Only 400 pages too.</p>
<p>-Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follet
(Not quite a war book, but many similar elements. It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.)</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The Archer's Tale, Vagabond, and Heretic, Bernard Cornwell
(A trilogy of straight up medieval war stories. Very engaging reads.) </p></li>
<li><p>The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, Phillip Pullman
(Once again not quite typical war novels, but similar themes and a quick suspenseful plot. Also, the movies are coming out soon. They are a simpler read but are nonetheless engaging and even mind expanding.)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I would say "1984" but the part when Winston is reading Goldstein's book is INCREDIBLY boring!!!!!</p>
<p>ooh....1984..
good book, but its kind of PG13-15
(I started reading it in 8th grade...horrible experience...)</p>
<p>Read the Iliad! LMAO sike. Its good but it takes forever to read. Dont bother. Read.. umm.. All quiet on the western front.</p>
<p>Catch-22 by Joseph Heller if you haven't already. A very popular, humourous novel for mature teens and adults.</p>
<p>My #1 favorite book :P</p>
<p>I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. It's probably my favorite book of all time now.</p>
<p>And now I know where things like "42" and "don't panic" come from!</p>
<p>[1984 is good too, as swim2daend said. But I skipped over the whole analysis of social hierarchy. I'd advise doing something similar with Ayn Rand's books, or just not reading them.]</p>
<p>Under a wartorn sky. great book. i read it in 8th grade though so it might be a little under your reading level but it was probably one of my favorite books ever.WWII. andddddd moonstone. also WWII. this one was kinda depressing but it was such a good book. read them.</p>
<p>War of the Rats by David Robbins is a pretty suspenseful war novel. Golden Compass and Hitchhikers are are a must for fantasy reading. Dracula and Huck Finn are the best adventure stories I've read (and I don't read often for fun).</p>
<p>Slaughterhouse-5 by Vonnegut is good, but not a traditional war book.</p>
<p>and fizix is totally right about that book. very very fun read, especially if you're into ironic humor</p>

<p>Ahh...the cheesiest book I've ever read.</p>
<p>Read anything by Aristophanes. Still funny after 2400 years.</p>
<p>The Importance of Being Earnest is also pretty good, as is anything by Vonnegut, Tolkien, Steinbeck, or Chretien de Troyes (as you can see, I have varied interests).</p>
