Call me a loner if you must (hey, you in the back, shut up!) But has anybody read any good books lately? I've just finished Swell Foop in the Xanth series, and it was really good. We are about to start Romeo and Juliet in my english class, so I was just wondering...

here's my personal recommendations.(not in any order) 1. les miserables 2. the blue adept series 3. a storm of swords 4. The Black Gryphon the blue adept series is great and at least 7 books long, but they aren't more than an inch thick each. If you put then together, they equal about two good-sized books with cool stories.

Any book by Richard A. Knaak is great such as Day of the Dragon, Legacy of Blood, Kingdom of Shadows, a dragonlance trilogy (forgot its name), and the Dragon Realm saga. I also like the Harry Potter books and The Hobbit.

I don't read since I get bored really fast and quit the damn thing. The latest book I read that I DO NOT recommend is Kim by Rudyard Kipling. I had to for a research paper.

I'm not even going to suggest most of the books I like. The majority of those are in excess of 800 pages. ;D

Well, I have read nearly every Tom Clancy book there is. While some of them are 300-400 pages some come close to 1,000 like the Sum of All Fears and Executive Orders.

I just finished reading a series by Garth Nix. The books Sabriel, Lireal, and Abhoreson are all very good. Also, the Redwell series by Brian Jacques is good stuff ;D

i like reading the "eye of the world" series, or i used to, now i only like 1 out of all of them. I like reading mercedes lackey books, and i like reading Shannara books. I also used to read the redwall series, but i now i only like some of them. I read the book "the wizardborn", i think that's pretty good, and i think that the books "the waterborn" and the "blackgod"... i also like some of the tamora pierce books, haven't read any new ones though. I like a lot more books..... but i don't wanna list 'em.

I am SO glad we're done with our Romeo and Juliet unit. It was horrid and I pity anyone who has to go through it. >.>

Oooooffff....Romeo and Juliet is a piece of fecal matter with an obscene stench. Not to mention it is the devil, the anti-Christ, the predecessor to Hitler, the predecessor to Stalin, and the predecessor to every bad movie and book ever written.

That's an... accurate description of how horrid Romeo and Juliet is. I remember we had to act it out too. Ugh.
