Hello!
I'm asking advice on what books should I read so that it can help in my phrasing of sentences and vocab?
I don't want too profound ones neither too lame and easy.
On the other hand, what are your favourite books? I'm hooked in twilight.
haha.
haha.
haha.
bye.

GO TWILIGHT!
haha.
i've no idea actually.
hur.most books help in sentence structure cos if u do lots of reading,automatically,you'll know if a sentence sounds funny.
as for vocab,try to read more "adult" books.
steer away from those princess diaries sort.not much vocab there.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Lol. The books I read are too random.
Prophecy of the Gems do you know that one? It has lots of good vocab in it. And the storyline's not bad too. (:

thatphobia & eclair-x: A Series Of Unfortunate Events
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT SERIES TOO!
But it's difficult to find the books (in order especially!) at the library sometimes.
Still, good vocab in there and storyplot is rather nice too.
But may be a little cheeminology.

Their books are pretty good.

Catcher in the Rye - J.D Salinger
Johnny Hazzard - Eddie de Olivera
Lucky - Eddie de Olivera
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
Anything by David Levithan.
Or if you like girly books, read all of Cathy Hopkins' series.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
haha I have a few of Cathy Hopkins'. But its really hard to get every single series so I gave up.
thanks. I'll tryto find those books
|
| |
| |
|

Agreed.
To Kill A Mockingbird is simply a stroke of genius.
I heard that The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is really good too, though I haven't read it before.
And it's not very long; just slightly over 100 pages.
Or you could try James Patterson's thrillers.
The Jester, which was written by him, is fantastic.

Girl Missing by Sophie McKenzie.
Jodi Picoult?! they're adults books!!!! my sis loves them

|
| |

Go for TWILIGHT!
It rocks.
Stephenie Meyer writes very good.

Jodi Picoult,Kathy Reichs,James Patterson (used to read two years ago) and Caelo
Caelo's abit on the chim side,like To Kill A Mockingbird.Call me a zeek but I can't wait to read to kill a mocking bird
Try random authors...
I sorta read all sorts.
Oh and Jeffrey Archer (though that's abit too much of politics) etc.
I'm craaaaabbinggggg.
|

|

OH MY GOD. almosthardly: PROPHECY OF THE GEMS!!! Hahah I love that book Read it quite some time alr though :/
I recommend Jodi Picoult's books if you're into romance. The thing about her books is that they're very well written (great vocab used) and you know that there is a possibility of it happening in reality, unlike other books. A Series of Unfortunate Events is good if you're not rly into romance. I love that series - it's really easy to get hooked on
|

|

heartfeltsincerity: Oh yeah, Dorothy Koomson's My Best Friend's Girl is REALLY nice (:
|
| |
| |
|

stay away from Meg Cabot books. the vocab in it is not very good.(IMO) meg cabot books are just for reading when your bored/ something like that.
Reader's Digest is pretty good. Times also.(;
Try some books by British writers. The english in it should be better then American writers
(IMO!(
|
| |

I have My Best Friend's GIRL!!
really cool (:
|
| |
| |
|
| |
i had it too.
but my friend lost it.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
for good vocab,
try kite rider or kite runner,
the story line is good.
i think noughts and crosses by Malorie Blackman is also pretty good (:
|

To Kill a Mockingbird is really nice aside from the first 2 chapters.
I read a lot of TONY PARSONS
ever heard of 'Man and Boy'?
it's really nice.
there's also 'a family way', 'man and wife', 'one for my baby'
and they touch on very real issues of society and it's very nice
'About a Boy' and "A Child called IT" are very touching books too.
'One Red Paperclip" is a fun book but with no real plot, just a journey
'Joy Luck Club"
"Midsummers Nights Dream" if youlike to confuse yourself.
i read a lot of classic books too.
i especially liked "tom sawyer'
check it out.

I simply love Harry Potter.
Roald Dahl's are quite good too. (you may find some too childish though)
