What book should I read?

username #92 · Sep 15th 2010, 6:02am

Basically for English class this semester, I get to pick a book (out of a few choices) that I will read during that class and write in.
The choices are:
Life Of Pi (I read about half before)
Brave New World
...and i'll list some more after I remember them

If you've read them, did you like it? Most of them look pretty kay anyways

Is The Outsiders one of them? If it is I suggest that <3, but if not then I suppose read Life of Pi. Even though the Outsiders is not on the list probably, read it anyways

Did you enjoy the first half of Life of Pi? The second half is so much better.

They are both great books. I love Brave New World just because I'm very interested in technological and scientific advances, so the things in that book are just something I would like to read about, even though they bring about the destruction of society.

And as for the Life of Pi, the second half is great, and especially the ending.

Those are similar books to what I've had to read too, so if either Ender's Game, The Crystal Cave, or the Great Gatsby is on there, I would recommend those.

fifth business is good for analysing, uhm lord of the flies, gatsby. I picked 1984 for English in grade 11 lol. Good luck choosing : )

The plot of Brave New World is interesting, but I absolutely hated the book. The narration was very dull, I had trouble connecting with any of the characters, and when it ends you're kind of like ..."wat". I literally fell asleep multiple times reading that book, that has NEVER happened before.

Lord of the Flies was good, if the house of the spirits is on that list, READ IT! It's so amazing. Poisonwood Bible and The Outsiders are also good books.

Definitely Brave New World.

Definitely Slaughterhouse-Five, but that's just me. Brave New World if you don't want something not on your list.

Diary of a Wimpy kid series. Man what a good book that is.

lol....diary of a wimpy kid.

Aldous Huxley's novel appeals to me, but my teacher picked life of Pi for me. Its still a good book choice

Thanks

The Life of Pi is great! You will definitely enjoy the second half. It's one of my favorite books to read, I really love Yann Martel, he's amazing.

Amazing books that would have a lot of good analysis:
Great Expectations by Dickens
Siddhartha by Hesse
The Jungle by Sinclair

Life of Pi is my favorite book, but a few classics that I love:
Great Expectations
Lord of The Flies
Frankenstein

A bit more modern:
The Glass Castle
Youth in Revolt
Out of My Mind (a bit juvenile, good though)
