Finally, summer is on it's way and I finished my reading requirements. I was curious as to what were some books worth getting into as I head towards college next year. Currently, I am stuck on reading one of two books right now: "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand or "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. On top of that, I have a shelf full of philosophy books, Chuck Palahniuk (guy who wrote Fight Club) books, and political books. Any recommendations? P.S. My adviser from my internship already recommended Penthouse, so no porn ideas!
WARNING: These are book recommendations from a 13 year old. (with a mature mind, i may add) The Freedom Writers Diary by The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell The Long Walk by Stephen King The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri ---- To my knowledge, these books are way to low in league for your your age, or you've already read them when you were younger...anyways just trying to help http://www.nextfavorite.com/?tabid=66
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz Interesting and unconventional novel: Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland
it depends on what type of books interest you i guess i read mostly Tom Clancy books but i highly recommend I Am America (and so Can You) by Stephen Colbert

Depends on the style of book you're into. I'm a big crime scene/thriller fan when it comes to books. I read/own everything Jeffery Deaver has ever put out to my knowledge my favorite of his being The Coffin Dancer. James Patterson is an other amazing writer, Dean Knootz as well...some of his stuff is kind of far out there...but good. You could always go with some of the well known stuff, Stephen King is a great author...Mario Puzo if you're into mob books. The list goes on and on.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is a good book and a short, casual read. For college I have to read a book called Freakanomics, can't recall the author.
i have yet to read that book, but i have heard nothing but incredible things about it. so i recommend it too.
To Kill A Mockingbird - a lot of people have read this but idk Cirque Du Freak series (I think that's how it's spelled) - by Darren Shan
If you like suspense/thriller/mystery novels, check out anything by Ted Dekker. Especially: Thr3e House
