Please recommend a GOOD book!!! PLEASE!!?


Question


Please recommend a GOOD book!!! PLEASE!!?
I really need a good book. Im fifteen, i like quotHis Dark Materials Trilogyquot quotHarry Potterquot vice versa. Other genres would be something somewhat romantic, but not gooey. I cant stand gooeyness. Please recommend something!! Im not picky, just give me a good book!! Im desperate!!


Answer


quotOne Hundred Years of Solitudequot by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the master of the style called magic realism. Dont be put off by the title or size of this book its one terrific read that hooks you in right away and keeps you there. I think I first read it at your age. Its set in Colombia, and even the setting lends an air of romance. But no quotgooeyness.quotbrbrbrquotAnansi Boysquot by Neil Gaiman. Some attempts at romance, a lot of fantastic happenings... its the first book I read by Gaiman, but not the last. brbrquotTeacher Manquot by Frank McCourt. All about how this Irishman its autobiographical learned to teach high school English and writing in four New York City schools. Its funny and poignant and very generous.brbrquotThe Once and Future Kingquot by T.H. White. Its a classic book about King Arthur and Camelot... it starts with him as a boy, being tutored by Merlyn. Its a clever book that tells one of the greatest legends passed down through the decades. Yes, and some romance too. Not gooey.brLuck
