well personally i liked and then there were none by agatha christie. its about 10 people who go to a private island and then one by one they end up being killed and everyone gets scared as they try to figure out who the killer is.

a separate peace was my required reading when i was a sophmore. it was by far my favorite book we read that year. its about these two boys that go to an all boys private school. theyre best friends but ones always perfect and the other has some resentment about that. I don’t want to give anything away but like its a book where u really connect and get emotionally attached to the characters. the ending s a little sad though.
the outsiders i read for 8th grade english so it might be a little on the easy side and you might have even seen the movie with tom cruise in it. its about these greasers and the unequality that they face.
to kill a mockingbird is pretty good as well. Its about alabama when black people are still not fully equal. there are these two kids and its told from their perspective. it also involves a lot their mentally handicapped neighbor that everyone thinks is a ghost. I read it in freshman english.
Im not going to do summaries for the rest but i liked Brave New World, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest, and the Giver. I read Cuckoo’s nest for AP English junior year(this year), brave new world for honors eng sophmore year, and the giver in 8th grade

If I could, I’d like to put my own book in contention. It’s a fantasy/adventure novel called The Other Side of the Gate, and it was just released. It’s about a 14 year old boy who has been mysteriously spirited away to a strange world where humans have been taken for generations now, and he and his friends are determined to discover why. It’s obviously an adventure story, complete with magic and monsters and the like, but at its heart it’s about searching for meaning in life and struggling to become a part of the world we inhabit.
Anyway, if you want to learn more, there’s a more detailed synopsis of the book on my writer’s blog listed below. There’s also the Barnes and Noble page for the book below that too.

Well, not knowing a lot about your likes/dislikes…. I would go with Much Ado About Nothing. It’s one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Basically there are two plots: one is to separate two young lovers and the other is to get two people that are constantly at odds together.
Book’s I’ve read off that list:
Anna Karina: Russian, very long and rather dry, about a wife who leaves her husband
A Doll’s House: Ibsen play, didn’t really impress me
The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King: really good if you like fantasy
The Giver: personally my favorite book on the list, a futuristic utopia that isn’t quite perfect
Hamlet: Shakespeare, about a murdered king, definitely tragedy
Heart of Darkness: really hard to read, I suggest avoiding it
The Hobbit: prequel to the Lord of the Rings, my favorite of his books
MacBeth: another tragic Shakespeare play, not bad but lots of killing
Pride and Prejudice: about love and etiquette and who you should marry
Of Mice and Men: another one I don’t recommend
To Kill a Mockingbird: okay, about racial rights and trials
The Taming of the Shrew: very funny Shakespeare play about the right kind of woman to marry
The Stranger: ick
Scarlett Letter: not bad, about a woman who’s labeled for committing adultery and her daughter is kind of weird

My choices would be:
1.) One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Set in a mental asylum it focuses on a guy who was transferred from a prison work farm. He has been found guilty of battery and plead insanity (falsely) to serve his sentence in the asylum. He has a rebellious influence over the other patients and is constantly antagonizing the tyrannical nurses. A great read!
2.) Angela’s Ashes
Memoir by Irish-American Frank McCourt who’s family are living in Brooklyn in 30s. Following numerous tragedies the family move back to Ireland. The family lives in a dilapidated house which regularly floods. They must share one outdoor toilet with all the neighbors. His father is an unemployed alcoholic and the family are living off welfare. He eventually finds work during WW2 but whatever little money he earns he will drink it away. The family are forced to beg for food and money from the church or townspeople, who are reluctant to give it because they disapprove of their father, especially because he is from Northern Ireland. They are finally evicted and forced to live with a distant relative. As Frank grows up he works and dreams of returning to America.
3.) To Kill A Mockingbird
Set during the Great Depression in Alabama. Narrated by 6 y/o Scout Finch who lives with brother Jem and lawyer father Atticus. Jem and Scout are fascinated by reclusive neighbor Boo Radley. Townspeople are reluctant to speak of Boo and despite the children leaving gifts at the door to lure him out they are disappointed to never see him. Atticus is appointed to defend a black man charged of raping a white woman. Atticus establishes that the plaintiff and her father are lying to cover the fact that the friendless woman made advances towards the black man and her father caught her in the act. The children are taunted for their father’s association with the black man and are attacked one night while walking home from a school play. Jem’s arm is broken in the struggle but amid the confusion the children are rescued by a unknown man, who turns out to be Boo Radley.
All three books are worth a read, and you will have the advantage of watching the movies to help you understand them. Happy reading!
