    Alice Sebold: The Lovely Bones *spoilers*

    YUCK!! It was so not good!! I hated every minute of it. I could not even finish it. But I also heard really good things about it. I guess it depends on what kinds of books you like.

    Michael Crichton

    Thanks guys!! I will look into all of it. @Lincoln Rhyme - He has read both and enjoyed them. I have personally read Prey and LOVED it. It is good!

    Michael Crichton

    My brother is not a big reader. He does like Michael Crichton, however. Any recommendations for a 22 year old guy who likes really technical stories with lots of science involved?

    Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys ...

    Haven't read them, but The Boxcar Children is great! My favorite children's mystery.

    Alexandre Dumas

    I had to read The Count of Monte Cristo in high school. But I throughly enjoyed it! I'm about to reread it now!

    Looking for good classics

    I don't really have a time frame. Just things that would be considered classics. =D And chiangaifalcon - I didn't think of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I will look into that one! Thanks everyone! I'm pretty sure I have a good list for the next few months. =D

    Douglas Adams: The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

    I don't want to offend anyone... I'm just curious. I tried to watch the movie... And it was so stupid that I did not finish it. Is the book better? Because most of the time they are I was debating on whether tor not to read it.

    Looking for really scary books

    I'm sorry to say that I don't know any other authors that are as scary as Stephen King, but I did want to say that Pet Cemetery was the scariest book ever to me too! Still I have a hard time getting to sleep if I think about right before I go to bed. House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker is...

    Recently Purchased/Borrowed

    Keeping Faith - Jodi Picoult 1984 - George Orwell (I just found out that he also wrote Animal Farm, and 1984 better be better than that book!) The Mysterious Benedict Society - Trenton Lee Stewart I'm trying to find a good mystery. Maybe I'll read one of my mom's Agatha Christi novels.

    A Bestseller You Hated

    I'm not sure if it is a best seller, but I hated the Lovely Bones! I could not finish it. Everybody said it was really good... But I do not think so. Sry fans.

    Books you have bought but haven't read yet

    My list includes 66 books that I have either not read yet, or started and decided not to finish for whatever reason... And I just bought 3 more yesterday. I really have got to stop spending money!

    Looking for good classics

    Haha. I meant to say not the size of Moby Dick, but the size doesn't really matter that much! Thanks! I will definitely look in to those!
