Can you recommend a good reading book?

Question

When I was young I used to adore reading Enid Blyton's Famous Five but after finishing all of them, I cannot find a good book that leaves you glued to it. I have been spending these last five years going to the library and bringing home books which I do not read at all. I like adventure (kind of Famous five) but I am sixteen, so the book must not be babyish. Besides I would really be happy if it would be rich in good English vocab. Please can you recommend something to me???!!!

Answer 1

it's not that hard and you've probably already read it in school but it's about boys your age...october sky.

Answer 2

1. addressing the bolded question, what books aren't for reading?

2. addressing your actual question, i really don't know. i don't know what famous five is, so sorry sorry sorry but i can't really help you. the only thing i could maybe suggest is... any jane austin books? i don't know if that's to girly for you, but pride and prejudice was amazing. and that has  some great english vocabulary in it. well, all of those books do. :]

Answer 4

The Secret Garden is really good. A girl is sent to live with her uncle and she comes across a garden which has been locked up for 10 years (it belonged to her dead aunt). She then meets a boy and her cousin and they transform the garden.

I assume they mean a school reading book. Anyway, the dictionary is a book, isn't it? You don't read that.

Answer 5

i always liked Vonnegut books. maybe you would. there not really adventure, but maybe give them a try. Start with breakfast of champions or slaughterhouse 5.

Answer 6

A reading book? As opposed to a non-reading book?

Answer 7

I highly recommend The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons both by Dan Brown. They are full of action and suspense. Both are very intellectually interesting-they keep you thinking.  

Answer 8

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Best book EVER!

It is kinda vampire-ish but I think is adventurey
