I have to write an essay on why it is good to read non fiction books in an English classroom.
I have a couple of reasons but i still need a few more. If you could help me out that would be AWESOME.
To use the literary skills of the author to change the way we look at things.
To read about events which really took place from the point of view of the writer, and we can compare it with the opinion of the general public.
I like things like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and most other fiction books. What would you read if you were me?

For a unit in my english class we have to choose two books: a non-fiction book and a fiction both on the same subject. I chose the holocaust as my topic (obviously). I have already chosen my fiction book – The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. So I just need a non-fiction to go with it. Do you have any good recommendations? And even good fiction books too? Thanks 
Boy in the Stripped Pajamas is one of my favorite books ever <3 I cried for like the entire time I was reading it
Non-fiction: Night
Ficton: The Book Theif
Two amazing books. Be ready to cry during both. Enjoy.
I want to get some non-fiction books about things like planets and stars. What are some good ones that I could get at Barnes and Noble?
For all purposes, just walk through the science area. Astronomy for Dummies isn’t exactly *great*, but …. for a beginner, it isn’t exactly bad. Almost any of the books that have maps (several pages) of the sky (look for almost any books that have the name ‘Wil Tirion’ on the cover – - you’ll be okay with those.) Make sure they have sections on telescopes and binoculars (how to tell different types, how to use, how to care for them, and sections on planets and stars. Over the past few years I’ve maybe bought 3 or 4 dozen book – and I use (perhaps) a dozen or so regularly.
This quarter for school I have to read a historical fiction book as well as other books. What are some great books for me if I like to read usually romance/mystery/horror books?
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I’m dieing to read a good book!
I really like Cleopatra’s Daughter, Nefertiti, and the Heretic Queen.
Historical fictions books based on ancient rome, greece, etc or any good historical fiction book you really liked?
The Red Tent – about ancient Mesopatamia circa 2000 BC.
Clan of cave Bear – by Jean Auel, about a young prehistoric woman raised by Neandrathals, and trying to find her own kind (humans). Outstanding.

Do you know if there are any fiction books about something supernatural happening during the Great Depression? Like vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, anything else you can think of. Young adult or adult level, please.
A subgenre of Speculative Fiction, Historical Fantasy is similar to Urban Fantasy, … Historical fantasy novels will be set in an actually historic and geographic … the demon she’s contracted to fighting demons and other supernatural threats. … Carnivale: Fantastic things happened during The Great Depression.
You see I am a pregnant teen, and well for some reason to deal with things it helps to feel understood, and books do that for me. So does anyone know of a good book about teen pregnancy? A fiction book please. <3 Thanks for your time.
I’ve read quite a bunch, and heard a lot about others. Here’s the mixed list:
- After by Amy Efaw. (Haven’t read it yet.)
- My Life As a Rhombus by Varian Johnson. (I hear this one’s pretty good.)
- Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles. (Spoiler alert!)
- Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr. (Didn’t like the writing style all that much, but the story is good.)
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker. (Amazing!)
- Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok. (Haven’t read it yet.)
- Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer. (Great book! Hope is the daughter of a teen mom.)
Can’t think of any other at the moment, but I’ll come back and edit this if I do.
And by the way, best wishes with your pregnancy. May you have a healthy, happy baby.
