<p>Yeah, Brave New World will trip you out! As well as 1984. Both of these are dystopias and 1984 is the darker, more grim one. BNW is the humorous one.</p>
<p>I second Brave New World and Life of Pi (it is NOT about math-3.14-pi!). Both are excellent books.</p>
<p>Let’s see…Poisonwood Bible is a good book, any of the Jane Austens (provided A) you’re a girl, and B) you can find the humor even if the book is written "old"ly). The Things They Carried, a vietnam book, is also fantastic (the author also wrote a few other books).</p>
<p>Finally, “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman is by FAR the best book I read in my high school career. Fantastic. It’s weird but wonderful, and everyone I’ve met who’s read it says it’s their favorite book.</p>
<p>Hope these opinions helped!</p>
<p>Ender’s Game- Orson Scott Card</p>
<p>My List

The Prince
The Iliad
The Odyssey
Don Quixote
Physics of the Impossible (not a novel)
Animal Farm
Siddhartha</p>
<p>Enjoy</p>
<p>Nice to see Ender’s Game getting so much love. I first read it in 8th grade, and to this day, it is the only book I have ever read that has impressed me so much that I actually read it a second time.</p>
<p>Might have something to do with the fact that I was a lot stupider in 8th grade, but meh.</p>
<p>I agree. I read it in 6th grade and it was amazing.</p>
<p>Card just wrote a new sequel to it last year. Just fond out about it last night, now I have to find a copy and read it!</p>
<p>I tried getting my brother to read it - in 9th grade - but alas, he gave up on it after a few chapters and Sparknoted the rest. -_-</p>
<p>Stupid kid. :/</p>
<p>It’s the same situation with my brother. Ender’s game is honestly a classic in my opinion.</p>
<p>The fact that four different people, all in a row, just shared how highly they thought of the book, ought to speak for itself. :)</p>
<p>actually the whole entire ender’s series is great.
after ender’s game the books get a lot less fun,
but more philosophical and heartrending
and if you’re that type you’ll really like them
(except children of the mind, that just sucked)</p>
<p>I have a friend that is obsessed with Orson Scott Card. He like forced me to read Ender’s Game.</p>
<p>He owns like all of his books and has gone to see him in person and got his books signed several times.</p>
<p>And he wrote an email to him when we were in eighth grade. And Card criticized our English teacher. XD It was great.</p>
<p>Oh… and for easy, quick readds… try anything by Margaret Peterson Haddix. If you want a series, try the Shadow Children series. For a good book, read Running Out of Time. (GREAT quick/easy reads)</p>
<p>Enders Shadow series is also very good</p>
<p>I really enjoyed the entire Shadow Saga. Never got into the books following the rest of Ender’s life.</p>
<p>The new Ender book, Ender in Exile, reads a lot more like the Shadow series then the later Ender books.</p>
<p>What’s the difference between Shadow and Game?</p>
<p>Shadow centers around Bean and follows the characters who got to go back to earth (every main character excluding Ender).</p>
<p>Ah. Well that sounds cool.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll read that this summer.</p>
<p>The Catcher in the Rye
Eragon
Eldest
Brisinger
The Lords of Discipline… very powerful book, i read it for 11th grade English and it was really the only book that EVERY body read, and toward the end it really ****ed up a lot of people (they had to stay up to 4am to finish, and were shaking and what not)</p>
<p>Prey, by Michael Crichton. Its really, really good and suspenseful.</p>
