go with charles dickens great expectations
he is one of the best know authors ever
and his stories are not that bad
You…you get to pick? I was just given a copy of Abarat and a copy of The Hobbit, and I have to read both, then we review when school starts, and then take a test.
I hate honors.
And don’t pick Night. I had to read it for English this year. Worst book ever.
Do you like historical type fiction? Science fiction? These are all very different forms of literature. GIve me an idea of some of your favorite books and I will recommend one of these based on that.
woahh you guys are lucky you have that many choices. we get about 2-3 choices….
I’d chose Black Ice or The Bean Trees, i never read them but the titles stand out.
night by elie wiesel….short but it is one of the best books i have ever read…sad though because its about the holocaust but u can finish it in a few days
I am not a much of a reader myself but i have heard night is a pretty good book!
hope this helps!
