<p>I'm always looking for new books to read. I think it would be interesting to see what you guys like. I just finished "A Time to Kill" by John Grisham and I loved it.</p>
<p>Wow sorry I just realized my title is spelled wrong. I must be more tired then I thought. Anyone know how to fix it?</p>
<p>Try reading the Percy Jackson Series if you haven’t. I used to be so obsessed with it.</p>
<p>I am reading Milton Friedman’s, Road to Serfdom. It’s a political/economics book, this is the genre I enjoy the most. A good political read is Machiavelli’s Prince.</p>
<p>As for fiction, some of the books I’ve read in the past year or so are:
Out of the Shadows by Jason Wallace - probably not the best to read before heading off to boarding school.
Go Ask Alice - diary of a girl in the 1970s, focused on her drug usage.
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee - about a lawyer defending a black man before there were equal rights.
Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger - about a rebellious teen who leaves boarding school.
Song of Fire and Ice by George RR Martin - this is the book that the first season of Game of Thrones portrayed.<br>
Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally - about a girl quarterback.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - I love this. It’s an old book set in England which is such an interesting cultural time to me. It’s about dating and cultural stratification, with great characters and plot.</p>
<p>The Gone series. They’re quite popular, but more grim and gritty than your average YA lit. Quite the page turners…</p>
<p>Oh, and @Forever58: actually, Go Ask Alice isn’t a real diary. It became discovered years later that it was fake.</p>
<p>Forever, I love most of those books. Catcher in the rye and game of thrones are my favorites. Have you ever read Kafka?</p>
<p>Anyone’s read the Millennium series? If you have, did you notice that all that the characters eat is sandwiches and coffee? lol. but its a great book!
Plus, I completely adore Catcher in the Rye! AND people, read Water for Elephants!</p>
<p>Outliers by Malcom Gladwell is amazing! Finished that during the application process and actually mentioned a little bit in my essays. It’s good to have knowledge like that.</p>
