Erudite Reader's Must Read Books:
Well, I aboslutely adore The Hunger Games! It was amazing! I also really liked The Maze Runner by James Dashner, he is a great writer, too. But, of course I loved Divergent and Insurgent, but judging by the title of this group, I'm assuming you have read at least one of those books already. Another book that I really liked was The Outsiders. It's a classic! Those are really all the books that I can think of that I really, really LOVED. Any suggestions for books that are like Divergent or The Hunger Games? Or even books that people who read and liked The Hunger Games and Divergent thought were good books.

! We have read Insurgent and Divergent and also the Hunger Games. I also recommend City of Bones, and
I recommend Amanda Hocking's books. My blood approves and the trylle series were really good :D
Mod
I want to read her books!!

It just scares the heck out of me though. (and so does Peter)

Read them!

I was on the fence with Ender's game. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad.

A Horse and His Boy is my absolute favorite...And Orson Scott Card's books are on my list to be read soon!
I am sure I've recommended these already but maybe it wasn't in this group...i don't remember >.<
and
They broke my heart but they are really amazing.

triology for anyone who wants to read something very light and fun.

I read those during freshman year, and your absolutely right about them being heart-breaking, but they were still really amazing books.
Scott wrote: "I thought the 5th was good but the 4th was better!"I finished the fifth a few days ago.....I hated the ending, and by that I mean it was another cliff-hanger that really left me wanting for the 6th book, unfortunately that won't be out for awhile. Out of sheer curiosity, why'd you like the 4th more than the 5th?

I heard about them a while ago but I'm not sure if they would be too tragic to read as they're set in a place where feminist/democratic activists, aid workers and other innocent citizens are still being regularly murdered.
I read them a few years ago without having a clue what they about. They were both heart-breaking but I think I had a harder time with A Thousand Splendid Suns. Not sure why. I still think everyone should give them a try (:

I don't know. I felt that the 5th was too long and I hated and loved the cliffhanger! Also I hated how there was way too much romance!
I am going to recommend
. I am a sucker for really good romance books and stories, especially tragic love stories, but I am kind of picky with them. This is one I adore! It made me laugh, and cry, and go aww. I am watching the movie right now and I swear I am about to cry my eyes out :((the book is better)

This is one ..."I enjoyed the book but really didn't like the movie, it just left too much out. The book let you bond with the characters and you understood much better what was going on and why.

I never heard of A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I did try to read The Kite Runner. For some reason I simply couldn't get into it. I kept trying to read it but it turned into one of the few books I couldn't finish.

Not many people like The Kite Runner. I loved it but, for me, A Thousand Splendid Suns was way better.

Glow is cool"My library owns it :D Love when I see books at my library that are popular on goodreads!
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
Lolita is simply the wittiest, saddest, most tragic, most playful book you could read. It dares to handle a hot topic with utter coolness. To think an author could even imagine he could pull off this achievement is astonishing.
Uglies is definitely one of my favourite books/series. It's very much like Divergent, since it takes place in the future, in a dystopian world. I recomend it to anyone who likes sci-fi with a touch of romance (:Uglies
Mod
I liked the uglies alot. If you liked the uglies I suggest starters which in my opinion was a really great book! Deff a must read!
Here's the link to it: Starters

Starters was very similar to Uglies. I really have to read Pretties!
