Oops and I forgot Nathaniel Hawthorne and Alfred Bester are gret for short stories - Rappaccini's Daughter by Hawthorne is probably my favourite.

I quite like 'The Tenth Circle' by Jodi Piccoult. It was surprisingly the first book I ever read, and the only book I have really grown to love.

Probably... the novel Skymaze. First read it when I was like 11, have read it probably 4 or 5 times (and the rest of the trilogy) since. What can I say, I'm a computer games nerd!

Meg Cabot is my all time favourite author. I don't care what people say about her being too cliche or typical or girly or anything. They are simple books and they make you feel good about yourself.

Harry Potter is a must. Marsden's Tomorrow series is pretty good too.

Jane Eyre is my favourite classic i think. You really can't get past that.

Melina Marchetta writes cool books too. Jellicoe Road was awesome.

Shakespeare is cool but I guess we get enough of him at school.

I've only just gotten into reading again. The best book i've read so far is 'Jessica' by Bryce Courtenay.
I'm going to start on the tomorrow series soon and Memoirs of a Geisha.

 

[cuppas]

honestly i cant say im too fond of ms highsmiths work. but orwell's nineteen eighty-four is alright.

favourite book, though, the spike milligan war stories. i forget the titles of some of them, but it includes 'adolf hitler: my part in his downfall', 'mussolini: his part in my downfall', 'rommel? gunner who?' and maybe two others. good books.
