|
|
i need a reading book for english. not many requirements; it just has to be over 200 pages. it can be any type of book. so far i only have one possibility that i don't really want to do a book report on.
boys and sex - it is a book written in the 60s and the book is exactly what the title says. it talks about all the diseases, all the terms, and even questions and answers!
please suggest a book that you found enjoyable. i used to love the enders game series when i was younger, but now i'm too old for that.

-HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy: one of a kind book, that challenges normality.
-HP7 Childish to some extent, but great story line...
-Siddartha: Buddhist book, about siddartha... its about a guy in the quest for enlightenment....
-Picture of Dorian Gray: Book about a guy that wishes to be young forever but a portrait of him reveals his true sins....
and i know other good books but its something you wouldnt like >.>

i read the book on Siddartha and watched the movie. they were both really good. i've also read harry potter and did a book report on it. i'm debating over hitchhikers guide to the galaxy or picture of dorian gray. i'm probably going to go with picture of dorian gray because i know the story to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. thank you for the help.

-by the way........
Picture of dorian gray kinda sucks if you do not like english books, by english i mean from england, and by from england i mean tea sipping sizzy people from the 1900s-1800s......
anyways, its about this homo paintor, who paints this guy called Dorian gray, and Gray turns emo when he sees the painting because he doesnt want to get old, so he makes a wish which turned out to be a deal with the devil, the he would sell his soul just too stay the way he is, never aging.....
however, the painting takes his soul, and when ever he does something, the painting shows it....
He kills someone, the paintin shows blood in the hands,
he gets older, the painting gets wrinkles, but gray stays the same....
and so on, untill eventually he goes crazy and stabs the painting thus killing his own soul and the end~
i just ruined the book ._______.

Look into the Dragonlance saga, the best fantasy literature I've ever read.
Each book is at least a good 250 pages (at most 1300 pages, I have that one), and there's over 200 books.

Wheel Of Time Series
Sadly, the author died writing the 12th and final instalment. It is being finished by another author based off of the notes the original one left.

I second that
I also suggest 1984 by George Orwell or Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, or Dreamcatcher by Stephan King
