<p>It's amazing, you should read it. :)</p>
<p>I liked "The Will of the Empress"...but did she ever put out a sequel or anything? I never saw one...maybe it's time to take a trip to Barnes & Noble. :)</p>
<p>The only ones I didn't really care for "Trickster's Choice/Trickster's Queen" and the Wildmage quartet. Just didn't really do it for me.</p>
<p>I wouldn't know - I've always wanted to catch up on everything Tamora Pierce, but I've been too busy...<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Another guy I liked was Herbie Brennan. He wrote "Fairie Wars" and "The Purple Emperor" and I think the third one just came out... also Libba Bray and "A Great and Terrible Beauty"/"Rebel Angels"</p>
<p>Ohhhh, yeah I read both the Libba Bray ones.</p>
<p>I've never tried Herbie Brennan though, I'll try one next time I'm at the book store.</p>
<p>For me, I adore Oscar Wilde. He's hilarious. (and the late Kurt Vonnegut).</p>
<p>Find a genre or series you like reading. Always expect that a book will be interesting or you almost certainly will find it boring. You'll have to read a lot of books that may or may not be interesting in college, so you just have to learn to deal with it.</p>
<p>well people tell me that i shouldnt read the book that interest me. I should read books that are good for me. Books with high vocab and sentence structure. Classics. Because i ll gain nothing from books like Harry Potter. So yeah =.= Anyways, im trying to read atleast 50 pages a day.</p>
<p>Read some FUN books that are a little wierd, a little out there, from a different perspective, or just plain unpredictible. </p>
<p>My absoluate FAVORITE books are the easy reads. I love The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, for instance. It's a bit mystic, dealing with the "Soul of the World" and "Personal Legends" but it's got a lot of meaning. </p>
<p>Wierd and Creepy but super awesome: 1984, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Brave New World, The Metamorphosis, Anything by H.P. Lovecraft...</p>
<p>There's loads of great literature that's fun to read. :D</p>
<p>I'm not going to lie though. I've tried reading War and Peace three times and I never get further than about pg. 200 when I realize I have NO IDEA what's going on.</p>
<p>EDIT:
Whoever said you'd gain nothing from harry potter is absoulutely wrong. Do you have any idea how many references to other stories are in that book (in English i recently learned it's called "intertextualization" :D))? Especially the classics (names like Allecto, the in last book -- Read the Aeneid.)</p>
<p>^I totally agree. JK Rowling knows what she's doing.</p>
<p>I think I am going to read The Gunslinger by Stephen King. It seems like a pretty interesting book. It is hard to find a book that I get attached to, but I have to start liking any book.</p>
<p>read naked lunch by william burroughs. easiest and most interesting book i've ever read.</p>
<p>prey by michael chrichton got me hooked. it was a summer reading book, but i was reading like 80-100 pages at at a time. its science fiction if you're into that (which i wasn't when i 1st read it, but now i am)</p>
<p>I do both. I actually enjoy a good book over a good video game every once and a while. The game is still better, but it doesn't take that long to read a book.</p>
<p>I try to read 1 book a month, because I'm the same way. I like to play video games a lot more but if I do read, it's about something I enjoy like basketball(Biographies by coaches and players) and I also like war novels/biographies.</p>
