Comments on What To Read Next - page 15

The qualities of these books are seriously mixed up.

I feel that many teens and children who are on here do not dare to read the thicker, more challenging books like The Hunger Games and the Harry Potter series. They are too scared or underdeveloped in the mind so they rave at the imitation literature Meyer presents.

I also would bet my life most of the voters believed the movies for the Hunger Games and Harry Potter were too "scary".

Please don't limit yourself and settle for your low reading ability. Step out of your comfort zone and realize there are MUCH better books out there than the Twilight series.

Also, most Twilight readers/fans have agreed to Twilight's critics after reading other books, not necessarily Harry Potter or the Hunger Games, but just other books.

Removed Pride and Prejudice which had gone over 1,000 votes.

Removed Catching Fire which had passed 1,000 votes.

My daughters were reading "Twilight", so I gave it a try and found myself hooked. I hadn't read for years. So I was very surprised I couldn't get enough. Of course I read all of them. I read "The Host" also, which I liked even better.

Read Always Yours. It's a sweet romance, a little exotic but nice. It had me smiling, especially at the end.

I do not like stephanie meyer at all.

Yeah, she has no talent as a writer, she can put together a story(a fourth grader can do that) but the writing is horrendous.

The Judas Factor by Michael.E.Ellah is a wonderful read! I need some more stuff by that guy...Does anyone know if other novels written by him exist?

The Hobbit is all walking and talking. I got bored to death.

Hi everyone,

I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)

I'd start with the Harry Potter series, if you haven't already read them. Absolutely charming!

Removed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone which had gone over 1000 votes.

Removed Angels and Demons which had gone over 1000 votes.

I'll add one. Star Drops by S.R. Templar. Hard to put down and a really good story. Different than most of the other books - has a little bit of everything: adventure, mystery, history, love story, and more.

I removed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because it had reached 1000 votes.

Removed A Thousand Splendid Suns which had gone over 1,000 votes.

Removed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which had reached 1000 votes.

Removed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which had reached 1000 votes.

I'm not doing too badly. When I had a look at my votes, I was able to delete some of them as I've read the book by now :-) Almost needless to say that I added others I very much want to read, of course... :-0

Well, I was able to delete two of my votes, as the decription says What books do you plan on reading next on your "to-read" list?. Don't worry though, I still have plenty of other unread ones to choose from... :-)

I'm just now looking at this list. I've read many of them such a long time ago when I was in high school which was 30 years ago, that I feel like I need to reread them. You should include a reread category in the drop down list. But one of my favorite books of all time, The Book Thief, is not on this list.

Really! Twilight series. When you have beauties like Gone with the wind,Thornbirds,Kiterunner,Classics by Thomas Hardy,Roots,etc. who wants twilight series.

Deleted Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because it had reached 1,000 votes.

The check duplicates feature for this list is still broken.

Will it ever be fixed.

Removed The Help which went past 1,000 votes.

Hear, hear!! It's why I voted on so many in the hopes of knocking her down a few. :/

GO HER! :D

The Shining

I want to read the shining because I have read other Stephen King novels. I also want to read The Shining because I enjoy mystery novels. I really like the way Stephen King writes his books. The Shining sounds like a book I would enjoy.

Tell me about it.... 😕 (They only partially fixed the bug, for some lists. Just left another comment in the Feedback Group.... *sigh*)

Thank you for helping out.

Only took two years!

Six duplicates consolidated.

I agree with you, Rose. Can't stand Stephanie Meyer's books.

I've read it, so I replaced it in my votes, but An Asian Minor: The True Story of Ganymede was really worth reading!

Please do you know something similar to Starry Hollow and Spellbound by Annabel Chase?

Can't go wrong with 'Lost in Yaba: Down and Out in Laos' by Walt Gleeson

Whats the book with the most 'to-read' tags? I guess War and Peace.
