<p>What's the best book you've ever read? Leave your suggestions here and a little bit about what the book is about! It's time for putting together the summer reading list! ^-^</p>
<p>*this is meant for everyone who need a good suggestion on what book to pick up :) *</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald. </p>
<p>The Kite Runner by Hosseini.</p>
<p>who the hell reads during the summer…who even reads for fun anymore?</p>
<p>I’ve always read for fun…</p>
<p>“Who the hell reads during the summer?” -Many people that, for example, take an Honors English class or any of the two AP English classes. That is, if you’re up for the rigor.
“Who even reads for fun anymore?”- Successful, motivated, and smart students. </p>
<p>I hope I answered your questions and cleared your confusion, SchieffenPlan.</p>
<p>Anyways, MY fav book is The Joy Luck Club :)</p>
<p>The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch (this book was really good) </p>
<p>Anyone into medicine:
Gifted Hands, Benjamin Carson
Another Day in the Frontal Lobe, Katrina Firlik</p>
<p>oh yeah i get that about the summer reading for classes, yea i recognize that…but dawg are you sayin’ people who don’t read for fun aren’t “successful, motivated, and smart?”</p>
<p>No.
But you’re right–many people don’t read for “fun” anymore. So, what I meant by my response is that the small population that DOES read for fun are MOST likely motivated and smart. I’m not saying the other side is not, but I was mainly speaking about the side that does.</p>
<p>Lol yeah thats true…I guess I’m one of the few of the population of non-reading-for-fun people who are successful, motivated, and smart, as you put it, then</p>
<p>Of course! Reading takes time–who knows, a non-reader may be motivated to tutor or help out around the community! 
glad we understand each other</p>
<p>I really hate people that are so ignorant that they can’t accept reading as a beneficial form of entertainment, and say “Hey, if i can watch a movie in two hours, why would I waste 3 days reading a million words.” And the worst is when you bring a novel to school, and kids are baffled that you’re reading something that actually isn’t required. </p>
<p>Anyway, I’d recommend </p>
<p>A Confederacy of Dunces- John Kennedy Toole
A Clockwork Orange- Anthony Burgess
The Scarlet Pimpernel- Baronness Orczy
Lolita- Vladimir Nabokov</p>
<p>Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (incredible book, one of my favorites)</p>
<p>The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen (some people hate this book, but it won just about every literary award for a reason - some of the best writing about modern life. I loved it) </p>
<p>Many others, but these two are especially great.</p>
<p>1984!!!</p>
<p>Best book in the world.</p>
<p>I agree! I love 1984 :)</p>
<p>Best I’ve ever read? Writings from Prison by Bobby Sands.</p>
<p>Other favorites: Into the Wild, Stranger in a Strange Land, Rubicon, Rebels: The Irish Rising of 1916.</p>
<p>I challenge you to read through every single issue of Playboy Magazine.</p>
