Comments on What To Read Next - page 8

The author listed most on this list is Stephen King, strange.

The fireworks in my town were wonderful! You guys could read Fablehaven. That's a great book! Or The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, that's also a amazing book!

If you want to read a really good book with good research try Jeff Shaara. He only comes out with a book every 2 years after exhaustive research. His next book is due in November.
This is a big change from Patterson who comes out with a new book every month.

Actually, Stephanie Meyer wrote some of 'Midnight Sun', but then someone stole it. =(

Did anyone watch the fireworks the day before Independence Day??
I did...it was cool! ;)

Why not 'The Host', Brittany?? =(

No offence, Victoria, but 'The Host' was not original!

I think my friend read, 'A Walk To Remember', Vampgirl211.

Stephanie Meyer did not make the Twilight Series for money, Maysie!

I think people are writing more vampire books, because they are jealous of Stephanie Meyer.

I agree, Brett.

Yeah, we did get into a big argument about Twilight/Stephanie Meyer.
Sorry to those who i mislead... =(

James Patterson comes out with a new book every month, Brett?!
I like his books... =)

oh u guys who like fantasy read Tamora Pierce's books there really good! Try Alanna the First Adventure (Song of the Lioness series)

My stepsister loves those books :)

Patterson just came out with a new book yesterday. He has several ghost authors and just edits each book.
By the way this Goodreads site is missing something. I was on another site and my laptop crashed. I can't find the other site, but it had the ability after putting in your favorite books to make recommendation for new books to read. Kind of like NetFlix. Anybody know about that site???

My town didn't have fireworks the day before.

I thought The Host was very original!

Lol,"several ghost authors"? Nice. hahaha...sorry Samia I don't mean to be mean or anything I just found that funny.

lol u mean all those authors are ghosts? jk

Man,I'd hate to be those ghost authors, it'd be hard to write if everything went right through their hands. They must have normal people write while they talk or something like that.

Ghost writers means that they get credit as co authors even though they write most of the book. If you check out Pattesons books you will always see a second writer on the front cover. When Michener was alive and writing it was reputed that he had 50 people doing research for him. Clive Cussler is doing the same thing.

huh. interesting, i didn't know that

How could you say 'The Host' is original, Stephanie??
I thought we were Stephanie Meyer likers!
Am I missing the definition of 'original'??? :0

You found what funny, Stephanie??

Oh...right...that makes sense, Brittany.
You can tell me why you don't like any of Sephanie Meyer's books, or her.
I won't get mad. =)

Well...I think it's cool that you like ghost stories, Brittany. =)

Okay then...
Now Brittany is scaring me! ;)

Yeah, I love books too.
I also love writing. =)

Oh.
Cute baby bro, Brittany! ;)

I won't get mad, Brittany.
I promise.
I just really want to know why.

Oh...
I'm sorry everyone.
I miscomprehended the meaning of 'original'.
How stupid of me! =(

I am still in my teens too. I have not read to kill a mocking bird. But i want to read it. I have read both the Illiad and the Odessy. (my friends think i am weird for reading books that i will have to reread in high school but my teachers congratulated me.) Both Books were great.

Um... I voted on all of the books on the list that i have read this summer. Of course I have read more than those on the list but.... whatever.

The Host is written by Stephenie Meyer.

never mind :)

very true. though i'm not jealous of stephenie meyer, millions, maybe billions of o..."

All the "ghost stories" I've ever heard were kinf of dumb or funny, so they really weren't scary. 'Course I haven't really heard that many...

I know that 'The Host' is written by Stephanie Meyer, Sephanie.
I just miscomprehended the meaning of 'original'.
Sorry. =(
I love 'The Host'! =)

Yeah, your right, Brittany.
I don't get it...
but, thanks for telling me! =)

I've read at least half of the books on here starting with Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7 which I really didn't like that much. I think J.K.R is a good author, but I just don't like the whole wizard thing. I really loved the New MoonEclipseBreaking DawnTwilight and i haven't read The Host but I'm planning to. I read most of Christopher Paolini books and they're pretty good. Stargirl was awesome and I and I plan to read most of her books.The Chronicles of Narnia are great too, I've read all of them and they are really suspenseful to me. And I consider Lemony Snicket one of my favorite authors ever since he wrote A Series of Unfortunate Events Pack - 6 Books.

Check out magentazephyr.com for a preview of "Magenta Zephyr and the Universe Bender." This is a brand new book that will make a great summer read. A fun-filled adventure featuring fiction's most amazing new heroine, mystical musical superstar Magenta Zephyr. Humorous, entertaining and thought-provoking . . .

I only marked the ones I've already read and enjoyed. I put some of the list in my books to read.

good for u

Roberto Bolaño is the author of 2666.I misspelled the title-only one l-Great book-a little weird but..."
It's hard to put the book into a few words-one of the themes is about those horrible murders of women in Ciudad Juarez,Mexico-hundreds-the biggst serial killer/killers in history.Lots of other themes but that's kind of the link-Stephan King with class! PS which would you prefer if you were going to give a gift?-Harry Potter one or The Hobit?

uh well it depends on the person, but mostly every one already has HP so i'd give then the hobbit.
why?

haha
the hobbit is a good book, U should read it.

u mean
i cant add u as a friend cuz idk wut u want to b when u grow up!

sry that had really bad grammar

hi i love twilight 1,2, and half of 4 im on the 4 book its so cool i love it.Did any one read the 2 or 4 book? there awsome....!!!!!:) :) :) :)

yeah... i read them
like EVERY ONE HAS.
but they suck
don't get mad at me. That's just my opinion. And we're all entitled to our own opinion rite?
and I SO don't want to argue about Twilight AGAIN. sooooooooooooooo any way have u read any good books lately? (minus Twilight)

I am thankful for the Twilight series. My daughter used to hate to read... even cried to do reading homework. We read Twilight together then she devoured the rest of the series. These books opened the world of reading for her. I enjoyed them as well.
