I'm sure I read something before this, but my first novel I read was a goosebump. The Headless Ghost I think.

Titles sure work for me. If it's an author that I've never read and they have a novel with a catchy title or great artwork then I'm 90% more likely to read it. Reviews, word-of-mouth, and subject matter also have an effect, of course.

Just because a book is popular doesn't mean hardcore readers are going to trash it. Harry Potter is loved by all, and much more popular than the Da Vinci Code. The reason why people bash it is because it's not a bestseller due to amazing literary genius, it's because of controversy. I read it...

I've read one e-book and didn't have too many problems with it. But yeah, it's bad for your eyes and isn't near as good as real books. I'd only convert to them if the world was in some crisis and couldn't waste paper anymore.

No, it's not scary.. but it is good. After you've read the gunslinger, don't be scared to get into The Drawing of the Three, because I think it's the best book Stephen King has ever written.

I don't know if she'd be more into "scary" books, but The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King is a great read that is safe for teens. He also wrote Eyes of the Dragon for his young daughter, and it's fantasy and safe as well.

I wouldn't recommend reading Dickens or some of the older classics just because they're very hard to understand for most people, especially me, and I've never known another language. To Kill A Mockingbird is very good though, you should definately read that one. Some modern authors I...

The latest thing I've purchased is: Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx

oh and by the way, The Great Gatsby isn't that bad! I was forced to read it for my AP English class and thought it was fairly entertaining. Usually those classics they assign to be read are always a chore to pick up, but I actually found myself wanting to know what happened next with this one...

That's usually about how my booklists go, every other one a King. I like skipping between them so it makes his novels fresher :) It doesn't exactly matter, but I'd read Desperation before The Regulators, just because Desperation was written first.. They aren't exactly sequels though.
