Alright, so at school I'm in the gifted program, Challenge. Me and some other people miss reading class for it, but we still have to actually read. Who wouldda thunk it?

So, I need a book. I have tragically fallen out of my reading and haven't read an actual book in about two weeks.

Any suggestions for anything I should read before I fail Challenge?

I highly suggest I am Rembrandt's Daughter by Lynn Cullen (highly suggest)

I am reading it right now and it is a beautiful read. It has romance, comedy, tears, and all that other good stuff a book should contain.

Why not go for some literature? The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald isn't too hard! (Although you might think it is boring....hm)

Have you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell?

It is a great book in my opinion. It is funny how the man can so easily and smoothly create an analogy of an event in history (The Russian Revolution), and then make it accessible to young and older people.

Haha.
I didn't, but my sister had to read it for school and said it was the stupidest book ever...aheh...yeah.

That's the only one I've heard of, though. Never even began to recognize the others. I look 'em up.

Anything else I should try?

NO! NO! DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! It's horrible, boring and pointless.

Animal Farm is amazing but only if you have knowledge of the Bolshevik Revolution.

1984 by the same author (George Orwell) is amazing as well.

It's hard to give suggestions when you don't tell us what you like. Classics? Plot-Driven? Theme?

Oh, yeah, I guess that might help.

Umm...Action-y type stuff, not really classic stuff, page-turners...stuff like that.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, is a fantastic book.

Oh!
I love The Book Thief!

So... read it again? =P

Hah.
Maybe I will. It still counts...

Other suggestions?

If you like young adult books, the Pendragon series is pretty good...

I've just finished re-reading 'My Sister's Keeper' by Jodi Picoult if you're looking for a real page-turner.

The Giver is pretty good. Or if you like longer reads, there's Auralia's Colors which, in my opinion, is the best book ever. And there's Raptor Red, which is original and very cool.

I have a list of book I can recommend.
If you like vampires, I do NOT recommend the Twilight series. Read the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. The first one is Interview with the Vampire.
I also recommend the Inkheart series if you like young adult books. And if you like something that is different, I recommend Airborn, Skybreaker, and Starclimber by Kenneth Oppel. Those are awesome books. There is also the Sabriel series. That includes Sabriel, Lirael, and Abrhorsen.
Yeppers.
