Im 18 and I want book recommendations.?

Question

I'm 18 and would like a really good list of books that will make me grow, make me more experienced.. more open.. more aware of my surroundings.

I always hear people say "That book is amazing!" but I've never really read an AMAZING book.

Please and thank you!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I am sorry you have never read an Amazing book. Try reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn or Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.

Answer 2

In my opinion, amazing books are books that catch you, making you want to stop everything else until it's finished and making you think about it even after you're done.

I am an avid reader and I've literally read close to a thousand books. (I know this seems pretty unrealistic but all through middle school and a lot of high school I read a book a day - literally.) I understand how hard it is to find amazing books.

The only 'amazing' books I've read that held the qualities I mentioned above were Harry Potter and Twilight.

As for books that help you grow... I suggest reading some books written by Lurlene McDaniel. Her books are about woman with cancer and their stories (usually finding and losing love) and almost all of them had me crying by the end. They definitely gave me a different perspective on life.

Good luck find some amazing books =]

Answer 3

harry potter, lord of the rings... TWILIGHT!  mortal instruments series. umm... im only 13... but these are all mature really good books... also im not sure about this one, bnut the house of night series is my personal favorite book, and i read at like a university level, so you never know.

Answer 4

My Sister's Keeper and A Change of Heart, both written by Jodie Picoult. They are very good!

Answer 5

Milan Kundera's - The Unbearable Lightness of Being

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unbeara...

James Redfield's - The Celestine Prophecy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestine_P...

Both are good interesting reads in the sense of a story and novel whilst being a good way to introduce yourself to underlying spirituality and philosophies.  :-)

Answer 6

My sisters keeper. that book just... is AMAZING!!!
