    I like historical books! You'll never know in case you're gonna need them in Social Studies class [which is the equal of "History Class" in other countries].

    Any good mystery books, which the author doesn't actually solve/say the answer to the mystery, but leaves it for the reader's speculation? Like Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." There are a lot of mysteries which were not cleared in book, like we will never know what happens to the Quagmire triplets and everyone else at the end of the book.

It's okay. I take Social Studies also, not History. I use to be in love with historical fiction but I can't stand it anymore execpt for this one author. I can't remember her name but she has written books like "The Hertic Queen" or "Nefertiti". Both are about ancient egypt and they are amazing.

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road


“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley


"Everything looks good from here... (beat...playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."
(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."
(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"
(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

Hmmm...Off the top of my head I can think of Delirium by Lauren Oliver or Love Story by Erich Segal. Probably not much help... :\
By the way, Love Story is an older novel...you'd probably have to go the library to find it.

Well, you could try "Mermaid in the Basement" by Gilbert Morris. It's one of my favorite books! And, it has NOTHING to do with mermaids or basements, just so you know. :)

Lornsome night,
babbits bawlin',
wind bitin' the bone.
Wind like this,
full of voices.
Ancestry howlin' at you;
Now, find you devil,
Old Georgie himself.
Now you hear up close
and I'll yarn you about
the first time we met
eye to eye.
'you bring the stories'.
All their voices
tied up into one.
One voice different,
one voice whispering
out there,
spying from the dark.

    Thank you for the suggestions! They are very much appreciated!

    So far I am reading, Lavinia by Ursula K. Le Guin but it's so confusing. I've read it again and again but it still confuses me. :(

I'd suggest reading the Da Vinci Code by Dan someone.. It's really good, but I'd suggest reading it twice so you'll fully understand it.

    Dan Brown.
    I haven't read it yet, and it seems... intriguing.

I haven't read it either, and I agree. It does sound intruiging. Maybe I'll nick it off my parent's bookshelf sometime. xD
I'm currently occupied with reading the Harry Potter series for the... er... 9th time. Heh. Heh. It's not an obsession...... Well, maybe it is... But just a little bit...
Re-reading books copious times. What're your takes on that, guys? I'm personally a big fan of re-reading books over and over, like 10 times. But I know many others aren't. They say the story gets boring, but I find, when I re-read a book, I find so many more subtle details. It's wonderful, in my opinion. xD

If it's a good book, you can't read it enough. :) If it's any okay book, it's not worth the time. Not in my opinion, anyway.
That's why if I get a book that I don't like, I get rid of it. I only keep books that I know I will read again. :)
