What book would you recommend?

Question

I really like Harry Potter books. Those books really spark my interest and get me thinking. I have to read 2000 pages of literature this year for english and I don't know what kind of books I should read. The books have to be books of literature like, "The Count of Monte Cristo" or "Catcher in the Rye". What books would you recommend too me considering that I like Harry Potter.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay is very good, inspirational.

Answer 3

Ok its not much like harry potter with magic but its not boring history either. It's called Ender's Shadow or Ender's Game i recommend enders shadow

Answer 4

If you like Potter, you like engaging, fun books.  I'm the rare literary heretic who admits that the literature of the past is boring.  There's a fantasy world for adults written by a guy named Terry Pratchett.  Check out "Small Gods" or "Going Postal" as a good introduction.  If you like him, there's fifty more books to read.
