Oh, Mongoosey, you liked Fox Girl? I bought it recently and I want to start it after I finish "Joy Luck Club" for my term paper. When I asked my friends about it they hadn't read it.

Twisted: Fox Girl is very interesting...very "gritty". Lord, that book is amazing. The book makes the most shockingly true, unblurred points about its subject. The funny part is, the racial slurs and crudeness in the book are actually true. It's fascinating, since, being half-Korean myself, know that much. My mother actually filled me in on how they used to consider hapa kids "beneath them" and so forth.
Oh lord, off the topic again:
The Bluest Eye
Catcher in the Rye (No, actually, thought the book was crap, but then again, many say it's terrific)

If you love Wicked, you should definately read some of the "Wizard of Oz" books. There are like 60 of them, and I've read like 20 I think. They're aimed toward kids, but they're still really good. For Glinda lovers, she's in most of them.
Also, this is totally random, but read "To Kill A Mockingbird"! It's the best book I've ever read!!!

I've read Confessions and Wickedof course, and I'm supposedly in the middle of Mirror, Mirror, but with my required reading for English, it's kinda gone by the wayside. My book list is(series grouped together): Dealing with Dragons Searching for Dragons Calling on Dragons Talking to Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede The Enchanted Chocolate Pot The Grand Tour by Patricia C Wrede and Carolyn Stevenson, I think The Golden Compass The Subtle Knife The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman (although they raise some seriously thoght-provoking issues about the authority of God, just to warn you) A Stitch in Time Broken Days The Blue Door by Ann Rinaldi (really anything by Ann Rinaldi) Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and . . . Ridley Pearson? I think. The Autobiography of Henry the VIII, with notes by his Fool, Will Somers by Margaret Green (long read, but well worth it -- 932 pages! It is a novel) Anything by Robin McKinley Anything by Tamora Pierce Anything by Gail Carson Levine And for nonfiction, I got a really interesting book called That's Not in My American History Book that is an excellent read! I'll probably think of more.  I love to read! |

i agree, they're really good. but have you read his ("Lemony Snicket's") autobiography. READ IT! its HILARIOUS. its so random and funny and great. Yes yes yes! I absolutely love those books. I also would recommend The Crucible, I had to read it for school but I loved it! Chicago a musical vaudeville The Sisterhood of Traveling pants books. I abosolutely love those. The best! Confessions of a Teenage Drame Queen My Perfect Life (the sequel) and if you love Chicago then get the original play. It's out of print so it's kind of hard t find, but it's so good!  |
