Hi. Is there any books that you would recommend for me to read.
I like books with quick plot development and realistic characters. Not really into sci-fi/fantasy novels. Would really enjoy a book about coming of age or big events in peoples lives. But, anything you have read and loved. Thanks.
Book Recomendations?
Twilight and Harry Potter seem perfect for you.
Book Recomendations?
Into the Wild. Is an incredible book and movie.

Reply:Can%26#039;t go wrong with Jack London... some of his stuff is kinda racist but it%26#039;s really good. I recommend %26quot;To Build a Fire%26quot; and %26quot;The Sea-Wolf%26quot; especially.
Reply:The Godfather by Mario Puzo, and The Firm by John Grisham.. I guess u%26#039;ll like them...
Reply:Burger Wuss by M.T. Anderson. So funny and not exactly coming of age, but has to do with teenage problems (in a funny way) Also, try the novel Speak. Best book I ever read.

Reply:Here are some of my favorite teen novels:
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I%26#039;m not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!
http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html
Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It%26#039;s really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.
http://www.megcabot.com/
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It%26#039;s about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.
All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn%26#039;t really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...
How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma%26#039;a attic called how to be popular. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular.
Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you%26#039;ll like this book. It%26#039;s about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don%26#039;t want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.
Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she%26#039;s the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.
http://www.sarahdessen.com/?q=books
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It%26#039;s about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she%26#039;s learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I%26#039;ve only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It%26#039;s about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It%26#039;s about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It%26#039;s very good and a great page-turner!
http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It%26#039;s based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she%26#039;s suppose too. It%26#039;s very interesting and I totally recommend it!

Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!

My Sister%26#039;s Keeper - By age 13 Anna had undergone far too many surgeries, transfusions, and injections though she is not ill. Anna%26#039;s parents chose to produce a baby they hoped would be a donor match for their daughter Kate who suffered from leukemia. Now the teenage Anna rebels against the role that has been forced upon her though it could mean the death of her sister.
Nineteen Minutes, Vanishing Acts, and Change of Heart
Nicholas Sparks:
The Notebook - Thirty one year old, Noah Calhoun is back in coastal North Carolina after WWII and thinking constantly about the girl he lost years ago. Twenty nine year old Allie Nelson is set to marry a wealthy lawyer, but is haunted by thoughts of the one she loved long ago.
Message in a Bottle - Theresa Osborne is divorced and cynical about love and life. This changes when she finds a bottle on the beach which contains a love letter. This is a beautiful story for those who choose to believe in the miracle of finding that special someone.
A Walk to Remember, The Rescue, A Bend in the Road, Nights in Rodanthe, The Guardian, The Wedding, True Believer, A First Sight, Dear John, and The Choice.
Sarah Dessen:
Lock and Key - Ruby has been living alone in the farmhouse since her mother abandoned her, but when this is discovered she is sent to live with her sister Cora who she has not seen in about 10 years. Cora%26#039;s husband Jamie is an extremely successful founder of a popular networking site on the Web. A nice large house, private school, new clothes, and a promise for the future are quite an adjustment to make.
Just Listen - Annabel Greene is the youngest of three very different sisters. She has had a very bad summer and must now return to school. She has never been so lonely or so sad, yet she must face each day. As she has her own problems to confront, her entire family is dealing with issues that plague her sister, Whitney. By circumstance, Annabel and Owen, whose life revolves around music, become friends. It is Owen who will help Annabel to meet certain challenges.
The Truth About Forever - Macy%26#039;s father has recently died and she is feeling guilty. Her mother isn%26#039;t coping with his death well at all. Macy%26#039;s boyfriend, Jason, represents security, but frankly he is a clueless jerk. It might have been a very long summer, but then by chance Macy meets an interesting group of people. I loved everyone in the Wish Catering crew, but most especially Wes. No matter the difficulties life has thrown each member of Wish they persevere because they must.
Dreamland - Caitlin is the younger and she feels second-rate sister to Cass who is perfect in every way. Now Caitlin is 16 and rather than starting at Yale, Cass has run off with a guy. This year for Caitlin is about school, cheerleading, parties, her boyfriend, and so much much more. Unfortunately, this novel has an important message every young lady needs to hear.
Keeping the Moon - Colie and her mother used to be fat. They moved frequently and were homeless for a time. Then Colie%26#039;s mother went on a %26quot;let%26#039;s get healthy%26quot; kick and they both lost weight. Now mom has a good job and they live in a nice house. Unfortunately, because of a really mean girl at school, Colie has acquired a reputation she did not deserve. Mom is going to Europe to work for the summer and Colie is going to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt.
That Summer - Summers hold special memories for many of us: vacations, beaches, picnics, summer jobs, summer loves, maybe even a wedding or two. Haven, younger sister to Ashley, is fondly remembering a summer five years ago because in this current summer her world is falling apart. Her father had an affair, her parents divorced, and now he is getting married to the co-worker with whom he had the affair. Ashley is also getting married this summer and Haven doesn%26#039;t understand why Ashley would choose this man.
Someone Like You - Halley and Scarlet, both 16 and juniors in high school, have been best friends forever. Scarlet was always the strong one, but now she needs Halley to be there for her. As they begin the new school year, Scarlet is pregnant and her boyfriend has been killed in a motorcycle accident. Meanwhile Halley has problems of her own. Halley and her mother, a psychologist, have gotten along well in the past but that has changed. Halley%26#039;s mother used to write books about their relationship, but now they just argue.
This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college. This is a time of transition for each of them, but the story concentrates on Remy who because her mother has had a series of husbands and Remy never even met her father, she is very cynical about love.
Ann Brashares:
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - A wonderful story about Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bridget, four very different friends who are spending their first summer apart from one another. Each of the girls faces her own crisis and, in the end, they are there for each other. It%26#039;s a great story of friendship.
Sequels: The Second Summer of the Sisterhood; Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood; and Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood.

Halley and her mother, a psychologist, have gotten along well in the past but that has changed. Halley%26#039;s mother used to write books about their relationship, but now they just argue.
This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college. This is a time of transition for each of them, but the story concentrates on Remy who because her mother has had a series of husbands and Remy never even met her father, she is very cynical about love.

Was "The Poky Little Puppy" Censored?
In the 1942 Little Golden Book庐 %26quot;The Poky Little Puppy%26quot; by Janette Sebring Lowrey with illustrations by Gustaf Tenggren, the puppies encounter a series of creepy crawlies: a fuzzy caterpillar, a quick green lizard, a big black spider, a brown hop-toad, a little grass snake and a big grasshopper, all of which are illustrated except for the spider. Do you think that the book was censored before it was published or was this drawing never created in the first place.
Was %26quot;The Poky Little Puppy%26quot; Censored?
I haven%26#039;t seen a copy of that in years, but I do remember the creepy crawlies...if they are not incl in the current edition then yes, it has been edited for whatever reason.

Revenge in Things Fall Apart?
In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, what are two examples of revenge/forgiveness? It can be about reactions or attempts, effects, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!
