I need a good book. Any recommendations?

Question

I like classics, but I find the English ones harder to understand than American classics. I also love a good romance, as long as it's clean.

Feel free to list any book, though!

Answer 1

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb is an excellent book. Good luck with your search!

Answer 2

The Only book i've really read through myself is 'TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD' get it you'll like it theres also a classic movie on it.

Answer 3

books by sarah Dessen are reli good. they are amazing. check into her. they are all types of novels, romance, and other types, like hard ships.  

Answer 4

The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer are my favourite books!! Twilight's like a mix of romance and fantasy, but the way she write makes it seem much more believable than any other fantasy OR romance I've ever read!

The series is:

1. Twilight

2. New Moon

3. Eclipse

4. Breaking Dawn

THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Just by reading the back cover and the Proface I was HOOKED!! THEY ROCK!!!

Hehe!

Happy Reading,

A

P.S. Just though of another great author. Ellen Hopkins.

She writes Crank, Glass*, Impulse, Burned and Identical**

Glass is the sequel to Crank but the rest are on their own.

*Haven't read this one, but can't wait to.

**Hasn't been released yet I don't think.

P.P.S. What Happened To Lani Garver by (i think..) Carol Plum Ucci is also an amazing book! I think she also wrote The Body Of Christopher Creed which was great too!

P.P.P.S. (hehe) His Dark Materials series is also great! By Phillup Pullman

The series is:

1. The Golden Compass

2. The Subtle Knife

3. The Amber Spyglass

It can be hard to get through that first book, but the series as a whole is awesome. MUCH better than the movie!

Answer 5

"Spartacus", by Howard Fast

"Gates of Fire" by Stephen Pressfield

Answer 6

I recently read three good novels. Each is fairly easy reading, not smutty, and with some meat to it.

Hans Fallada's  _Little Man What Now?_ (1933) is about a young couple in Germany who fall victim to a declining economy. The man has a rough time handling the changes, but the gal matures.

Bess Streeter Aldrich, best remembered for her ditsy _Miss Bishop_ had a much better novel in 1931 called _White Bird Flying_. It's a romantic novel about a young girl who wants to be a writer and never marry. Much of the book is her observations of what it means to grow old. The novel is a bit sentimental, but in a nice way.

_Work of Art_ by Sinclair Lewis (1934) is about two brothers. One wants to be "a nauthor" and the other wants to run a hotel. Both achieve their professional goals, but become very different people. Lewis starts with rather a sarcastic tone, then gets interested in his characters. The novel ends up exploring the idea that a good life is a work of art.

I read and review vintage bestselling fiction on my blog.

It's ad-free, non-commercial.  You might check it for ideas.
