Since you're a guy, you should read the Lord of the Rings series. All my friends like it. =//
Also...... The Three Musketeers?

ugh, lord of the rings?! man that book is so overrated. im not interested in fantasy stuff.

you should "norwegian wood" by haruki murakami. if you like korean dramas, that book will suit you!! It's such a great story.

yah i read "the three musketeers." very good. but not as good as counte of monte cristo.

^ Oh, I didn't even read Lord of the Rings. Didn't even watch the movie because I'm not into science fiction/fantasy either. Except Harry Potter of course.
The Three Musketeers was okay.. The Prince and the Pauper is good too. And Hunchback of Notre Dame (but kind of confusing).
My friend said Dante's Inferno is crazy and fun, but I tried out a few pages.. I don't understand a thing. But you should try it. Guys tend to like it more than girls.

Cool, I'll look up Norwegian Wood coz I'm a Krn drama freak also.

Currently my favorite book is Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim but that's subject to change soon.

I couldn't put Mysterious Skin down. I didn't want it to end. It's the only book I've ever read that had me almost in tears.

My teacher hates Harry Potter. She says the language is just simple & it's just a children's book and overrated. I kinda agree...

I liked all of Dan Brown's books. And this book called "The River King". The beginning was a bit boring but the language is so beautiful :\

My favorites are Brave New World, 1984, Lord of the Flies, My Name is Asher Lev, Of Mice and Men, and Animal Farm. Probably some others... but I haven't been reading too much as of late.

I'm actually reading Memoirs of a Geisha right now. xD

and for laughs...read any Calvin and Hobbes book ^^

i never said my words wishing they would be heard...

i thought windup bird was too long and it got kinda bizarre towards the end but it had good parts. i like his simpler stories like norwegian wood.

also, am i the only one who thinks catcher in the rye is funny as hell? its kinda like dark humor. i laughed aloud many times while reading it.
