**ikesmasher** · 10-23-2009, 12:15 PM

i need some good books to read. what would you suggest based on the artemis fowl series and te alex rider series? (kinda sci fish/fictionish)

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-23-2009, 04:42 PM

Try going to the Barnes & Noble website. Ummm...I don't know what to suggest.

**bteamer** · 10-23-2009, 06:28 PM

I love both of those series

. Try reading the Ranger's Apprentice series, its really good. And asides from Harry Potter, my favorite series of all time is Pendragon. They're crazy good books

anyone read any douglas adams books? (hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) are they any good?
cause the movie was hilarious

**Grassmasta** · 10-23-2009, 08:13 PM

Hitchhikers is awesome! George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is good. John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is good (Anything by Steinbeck is usually pretty rockin). Mark Twain's "the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is amazing! These have been pretty standard books for a good while, and they actually are really awesome books. You'll have to eventually read them anyway!

I dont know if they'd be similar, but I've loved every Dan Brown book I've read...DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, Digital Fortress...and now he has a new one out!

If you want, you can read the Twilight series

! Just kidding. I recommend The Gatekeeper series, done by the same author of Alex Rider series.

**ikesmasher** · 10-24-2009, 11:11 AM

thanks. ill look into all of the above.

I took the same program in elementary school. I was always forced to take it when I finish a book. My highest streak was getting 100% 11 times in a row.

**ikesmasher** · 10-24-2009, 11:21 AM

haha yea. since thrid grade, which was like, 5 or 6 years ago now i think? ive gotten about 1500 points. im running about of things to read. lol.

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-24-2009, 11:24 AM

Umm...that's why we have bookstores and teachers. I stopped taking the program since I moved to Minnesota. I still hate Minnesota.

Oh gosh I remember the Accelerated Reading program

In 8th grade my teacher required like 30 points and any extra was extra credit. I read Les Miserables (~2000 pages) during that time and it just so happened to be on the list (coincidence). I had 120% in that class for the rest of the semester

I didn't like Animal Farm. Of Mice and Men made me cry

Why won't my English teachers do that? One reason why I hate the state I'm still living in. Nicely done.

I just started reading that in English. What a coincidence.

**angiepangie** · 10-24-2009, 12:09 PM

I loved to Kill a Mockingbird!
Aww I miss freshman year

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-24-2009, 12:17 PM

Well...I'm a freshman. At my high school, sophomores treat you like trash. Actually, the people of MN treat you like trash.

**Grassmasta** · 10-24-2009, 12:25 PM

Thats because most freshmen and sophomores have yet to achieve a greater social awareness. Don't worry, that'll pass. People eventually realize that you cant judge whether or not people are cool based on age.

**battlecrushr** · 10-24-2009, 12:31 PM

Ya 9th is the best

**awesomeSlayer** · 10-24-2009, 01:20 PM

That is true, Grassmasta. Most people don't know the fact of reality.

**angiepangie** · 10-24-2009, 01:26 PM

Freshman have this attitude ... you'll notice it next year.
There are some freshmen I love to death, but freshmen as a whole are annoying.
I loved freshman year though.
