    Yea, well I have grade 10 english as home class and my teacher is a bitch, shes not bad or anything but really strict. Soooo anyway, she already told us what we had to do for CPT, it's pretty easy but I have to pick out a novel.

    If anyone can reccomend one to me thats 200 pages min that would be nice. Nothing too big though, I don't really enjoy reading novels :eek: (unless they're really interesting to me).

    Okay, thing is I've been really lazy with school since grade 4, I'm pretty much known as the class clown and ---- and I usually get bad marks because I never do my homework or whatever. This year I'm actually gonna do my work (I didnt fail grade 9, though I didnt do anything the ENTIRE year) so yea.. I just want a good novel I can read so I can just do the damn CPT :eek: The cpt is due at like near end of semester ;P But shes giving us 2 fridays to read our books in school.

    How about Patricia Cornwell's books, or Dan Brown's?

    Let's see, there's a couple books that I like (I'm a bit of an avid reader)

    Catcher in the Rye - One of the best books I read, but you need to understand a lot of the symbolism to understand it (try after reading the book checking sparknotes for the important points) otherwise you'll think it's a stupid book about a kid who's obsessed with his hat and ducks...

    Hithiker's Guide to the Galaxy - A really funny book (and pretty good movie) Also is has some great jokes (ever wonder why sometimes people say that 42 is the answer to everything? It all came from this book)

    I'll talk about more if you want ^_^

    I think the movie was more focused on the effects than the jokes :/

    Look. I don't like reading at all, never did. I saw harry potter movie, and yet I still never wanted to read the book. Once, in school we were forced to pick a book, so I picked Harry Potter. Once I started I never stopped reading. So far i read the first 3 books. Trust me, you gotta try it.
