Answer 6

why is tomorrow when the war began with your sci-fi books?

they're obviously not sci-fi.

i like them too though.

and i like lord of the flies, i'm not scared, catcher in the rye, twilight is also pretty good, but she should have stopped writing books after twilight, quit while she was ahead.

and alice in wonderland is good too, but 'through the looking glass and what alice found there' is better.
