Hardy boys obviously, though i have read 75% of them.
To be honest, I read mostly Nancy Drew, mainly because they were easy to get a hold of, but eventually stopped because each story is pretty much the same.
My favorite Categories: Fantasy: Inheritance Cycle, LOTR trilogy, The Hobbit Science Fiction: Stories present in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, trying to think of others besides star wars. TOM CLANCY: I love his books, but don't know how to classify them (and I mean his actual books, not stuff like OP Center or other series CREATED (not Written) by Tom Clancy).
I for one would like to read the full version of The Odyssey or The Illiad. Our English class is reading "excerpts" from The Odyssey in our literacy textbook, which often glazes over important events and even whole books with small summaries of them! Preposterous!
To kill a mockingbird was a good book, except I had to annotate it which made it not so very fun...
There are bound to be tons of series about Nicholas Flamel and alchemy. Plus, I've already read The Alchemyst. I think a good book would be... maybe a Dan Brown book or something. He's a great writer.
I read the first one but never could find the title for the second. can you help me?
I feel this would have split discussions very easily...
One group would be talking about how cool the Count was and the stuff he did
The other group would be talking about the deterioration of The Count's view of right and wrong and if his actions are heroic or those of a villain?
that is one of the most interesting parts of it though you see people see the count as a good guy but others see him as a villain. It all depends on your perspective of the book. I consider him as a neutral guy for now, because I haven't gotten very far and I have just been introduced to him.
I'll try and join this eventually, but I'm in the middle of another really interesting book, and I really don't want to put it down until I finish it
One question I have is how are we going to talk about the books if we all read at different paces? It might take some people a month to read it, and others a few days. We have to avoid spoilers, so we can't talk about it at each person's pace.
I'd like to reccommend some books that a lot of people have never read, or I think we should explore different categories of books we might not usually read, but may find interesting.
Reccommendations: Of Mice And Men, The Outsiders, Touch The Top Of The World(by:Eric Weihenmayer), Mistborn trilogy, Rules of Survival, Searching for David's Heart, Daniel X
These are some of the books I have read in the last year or so, and they are of many genres and reading levels.

The Magician is the second one. A great series of books.
I will get world war Z at the library. I actually just finished Mark of Athena(part of the percy jackson thing) two nights ago. it took me 2 hours. to kill a mockingbird took me about 6 hours just because of the language style. INHERITANCE CYCLE. Eragon(the first book) must be our next book. An amazing story(crappy movie). that series is my second favorite of all time. it is AMAZING.
take some people a month to read it, and others a few days
yeah I'll be done in a few hours when i get the book...How long should i expect to wait for you guys...?
Got a hold placed (won't get it for a while though, it is checked out), make the next story something like the classic science fiction from geniuses such as H. G. Wells.
