Books

I’m an aspiring writer but my mentor said that reading can really widen my vocabulary, so I just want to know some good books out there for teens, of course with a fine writing style. I’ve finished Twilight a week ago but sadly, I wasn’t satisfied with the writing style.

Please recommend me a book, also with the name of the author and if possible, include a brief summary about the book.

Thanks in advance.

For a young adult/teen Meg Cabot’s young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), All-American Girl (up coming movie), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.

If you want more info or any of the authors website’s email me.

You should use the website, What Should I read Next. This website will make perfect suggestions based on what you have read.

2 phonebooks together. It tooks 8000 pounds to separate them.

Considering opening a bookstore… Need used and new books… I currently have a plan to get used books, but where do I need to order the new books from? The publisher?

New books are ordered from either the publisher or book wholesalers. Ingram is a good company that has comprehensive lists of books and carries most publishers. There are otheres.

Good luck!

This is Dewey Readmore Books, now well known as the cat in the New York Times best-selling book of the same name. Dewey was abandoned in the Spencer Library’s book return, and became known far and wide as the Spencer Library cat.

This video also profiles Conrad, Iowa’s town cat, Tom, also well-loved by the entire town after being rescued.

I recently finished all the books i wanted to read for 2007 (so i was a week late, big deal), could you recommend some good books (reasons would be helpful) for me to read in 2008? I enjoy mainly nonfiction. I have already read, and loved, books like the tipping point, blink, freakonomics.
I will give 10 points to the person who convinces me their book is the best.
Thanks.

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It’s a fantastic book and reminds me why I was so enamored by science in school. It also drives the point home many times that we are very, very lucky to be standing here, doing what we do everyday.

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. This is an entertaining and enlightening book, and fairly easy to read. It has an important message regarding how the world works; that the world is governed not by the predictable and the average, but by the random, the unknownable, the unpredictable — big events or discoveries or unusual people that have big consequences. Change comes not uniformly but in unpredictable spurts. These are the Black Swans of the title: completedly unexpected and rare events or novel ideas or technologies that have a huge impact on the world. Indeed, Taleb argues that history itself is primarly driven by these Black Swans.

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens. No matter what your religion is this is a good read, thought provoking, informative, and entertaining at the same time.

this is wherry funny
