<p>Sorry about the title, but i just really need respones...</p>

<p>Does anyone have a list of good books that's helpful but not soporific? I know reading is important but i just can never finish any novel, or pick up a dry newspaper article...lol....any books NOT involving the following would be great:
1. slavery/african americans
2. animals/native americans
3. political/wars/holocaust
4. fun but stupid and useless / sparknotes vocabulary novels
5. too good to be helpful on the sat</p>

<p>No offense to anybody who loves those books, or any group of people mentioned above, i just don't like them (the books...of course). I've read so many of them in class that i can probably make one up myself..not that i would...but that's no the point... so...IF ANYONE U HAVE READ A REALLY REALLY GOOD BOOK THAT CAN HELP IMPROVE the performance on CR LONG PASSAGES, PLEASE POST THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU :)</p>
