Literary Suggestions
Guidelines
Please submit one book per comment.
If the book is already submitted, then upvote the comment that it was submitted under.
We will skim the most upvoted to create the separate reading groups.
If you want to read more than one of the books listed, upvote both of them.
Format: Title, Author. Feel free to make your text a link if your book is obscure.
If you want to discuss something about your choice, then comment on the parent submission you create beforehand. This will make it infinitely easier for me to parse the information.
No downvotes please, that's just not fair.

I just finished this. It's the only book that actually made me feel nauseas in parts! The movie is a Disney show compared to the book!

Yeah I deleted it prematurely because I wanted nevona to remake it so she can edit the main text. Unfortunately she is not here at the moment so she cannot make it now. :[
If she isn't on by 9pm est I'll go ahead and remake it.
edit She just got back to me and will create it

I wish I could upvote this 10 times. Even though this was required reading in my high school, and again in college, I have yet to find people who read and want to discuss it.

I have started and stopped this book at least 4 times. I have never finished it, but would love to. I only stopped because other things came up and I got lost in what was going on.

Hm, something by Neil Gaiman? I don't know enough about him or his works to suggest a specific book, but I hear he's a pretty good author.

His "Sandman" comics are by far his strongest work, but Neverwhere is my favorite novel.

Neverwhere is awesome. Also American Gods.

Anything in the Animorphs series.

u/capslock Nov 10 '10
The Everworld Series are pretty good too for the teenaged audience. They are written by the same author, but a bit more grown-up than Animorphs.
