<p>it is SO HARD to find a “favorite book”, most books I’ve read have been totally awesome…
of course, there are some I don’t really like, but most I love.</p>
<p>right now I’m reading Ashes of Roses, by Mary Jane Auch, a novel about Irish immigrants.
it’s a totally awesome book!!!</p>
<p>I’m glad everyone seems to like Looking for Alaska :D</p>
<p>NOW READ BLINDNESS. GO. GO. GO. ENJOY IT. LOVE IT. SAVOR IT.</p>
<p>Westcoast that deserves a super secret handshake… <em>gets the plunger</em></p>
<p>i just finished looking for alaska and i loved it! its so funny because i know exactly where everything is in that book because i live in AL, so i know where everything happened, which gave the book a reqlly interesting perspective and view point.</p>
<p>Oh my God, I <33333 Ashes of Roses. I first read the book in fourth grade, and then I read it again in 6th and 8th- each time it made me bawl xD If you like it, you should read Uprising by … Haddix? It’s about the Triangle fire, too, except in the perspectives of three different girls.</p>
<p>We just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 in school a few weeks ago- its absolutely amazing. And kind of scary too, lol.</p>
<p>My favorite authors are Kate Brian, Meg Cabot, Deb Caletti, and Sarah Dessen. Well, favorite authors that are alive. Jane Austen’s my most favoritist xD</p>
<p>my favorite book is a tree grows in brooklyn!!! i read it for english class, and didn’t think i’d like it, but now i’ve read it at least 10 times. i’m slowly making my way through wuthering heights…no further comment. I LUUUUVVVVVV the uglies series. but anybody who could come up with a book like that is kinda crazy. and fahrenheit 451, i liked that too. i also like the other half of me (can’t remember the author) and the curious incident of the dog in the night time. best book ever :)</p>
<p>Haha, I don’t know why, but it’s just really surprising and relieving that kids still read books these days. But, then again, this is CC, so it shouldn’t be a surprise. At school, whenever I offer someone to read my book 'cuz it’s super good, they’re like “eww… I don’t read books.” But, reading really helps with grammar and stuff. I’m pretty good at it now 
Now I just need to work on building up my vocabulary…</p>
<p>Oh, I get really frustrated when people use double negatives, like “I ain’t got nothing.” or “You don’t have nothing to say!” etc.</p>
<p>Can someone reccomend something for me to read? I’ve finished 3 books in 4 days so Ive ran out of things to read really quickly.</p>
<p>Get a copy of “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking. It’s brain food. Reading scientific prose isn’t the easiest thing to do, but it’s still a good book and not too long. The newer “Illustrated” version is supposed to be better than the original.</p>
<p>two words: Tamora Pierce</p>
<p>I have read everything she’s ever written!</p>
