Some of my favorites

To Kill a Mockinbird by Harper Lee (i think harper lee)
My most favorite book of all time. This is a book that the first time I read it...I closed it, opened it and started it again.

Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
It's a strange book but an excellent read, basically kind of a reflection on life after an extremist christain overthrows the US government. Like I said kind of odd, but definitely worth a read.

I read alot of books that are just an entertainment when I have a fun minutes, Stephen King is pretty good because he can tell a good story sometimes.

I like to read classics like The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, both by John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath is about the migration of oklahomans (called okies) during the great depression. As an okie, the way he depicts some of the people is brilliant. I've seen people who act and think like the characters in the book.

I used to read alot and know I have read quite a few books, I just can't think of any more right now that I would recommend that have depth.

Yeah, King is strange in that sometimes I just devour his books, and other times I can't get into them at all. Not sure why that is. nt

Don't feel bad, I've probably read under twenty books all my life. And I'm pretty awesome, right?

Heh. A couple of the books on this list really go a long way towards explaining your psychology. I'll definitely try Foucault's Pendulum, thanks. nt

Yeah, but you're only like 14. You've been reading for about 6 years. nt
