I NEED suggestion (about books)

If you are romantic then you should read Eric seagull's love story.All girls love it and boys too.It's a pity that I didn't read it till date.Perhaps that's because my friend narrated the story better than a book would,lol.One of the best I ever read was Mario Puzo's Godfather,but I don't know if girls would like it.You might want to read 'If Tomorrow Comes' by Sidney Sheldon.I can assure you that if you get started with the last one,you won't leave it halfway.

Few years ago I read a classical English book ‘Little Women” written by Louisa M. Alcott (1832-1888). It’s the delightful story about four young girls and their approach towards womanhood. In my place this is one of the literature books recommended for middle school students lol. This touching story is worth reading and hope this will help you in collecting required information.

'Tuesdays with Morrie' is a great book but if it will be the first book you'll read in English it probably would be too difficult. As a former philologist and language teacher I would suggest something easier. I saw, there were "3 men in a boat" by J. K. Jerome and Burnett's "The Secret Garden" suggested. Why not. Or try some mysteries by Agatha Christie. You can return to "Tuesdays with Morrie" after you've read 10 or more books in English, then it's sure yu can really enjoy it.

I'd have to recommend the English translation of "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's quite a short book, written in simple, clear language, but is very deep too. It's a book which both adults and children can enjoy and get a lot out of on many different levels. And it's also a lovely story, and very moving. I love this book, and I'm sure you will too.

I see someone else asked what kinds of books you like in your own language. I personally like science fiction, but I well know that many don't care for the genre. There are lots of good mysteries out there, Janet Evonovich writes both funny mysteries & amusing romances that are both easy to read. Her Stephanie Plum books are her mysteries. She doesn't do too much dialect, which is a problem with the classics that have been recommended to you. There have been many good books suggested, but not what I would start as my first book - too long, too difficult, too much dialect. You might do well with the first Harry Potter book, Chamber of Secrets (or Philosopher's Stone in Britian.) Its fun, its pretty fast & its not too complicated in language - just the made up ones that she uses sometimes - like "Muggles" for non-magic users. The spells she puts in are in Latin, so don't worry about understanding them, unless you are coming from a Romance Language background. Get back to us with what kinds of books you like & maybe we can suggest more.

I def. recommend Matthew Riellys, Contest. I finished this book in 2 days, I could not put it down! It is a real page turner and I don't think you will get bored of it anytime soon. I predict I will read it again sometime. Another book I liked a lot (but didnt finish in two days =P)Was Riptide by Catherine Coulter. It was really good too. I lent it to my friend, and she said that she almosted stopped reading it because she was bored with the beginning. But right before she stopped something happened that made her keep reading, and she finished it. So you might have to powerthrough the beginning (even though I wasnt bored with it) but it is a great book.

I could recommend a lot of books that I have read over the years, but they might not be what you are looking for. It all depends what kind of plots you are looking for. For me, I love to read almost any kind of book. I especially love mystery, suspense and romance. If you are more for the suspense books,I suggest any book written by James Patterson. He has a few romance ones in there, but they are also excellent, fast reads. Some of my favorites are 1st to Die, Violets are Blue, Along Came a Spider and so many more! If you prefer romance I'd say you can't go wrong with a Nicholas Sparks book. He is an excellent author and so far I haven't been disappointed by him yet. My recommendations for his books are A Walk to Remember, Dear John and The Wedding. Excellent books! Good luck with choosing which to start with!

wow! we have different categiries of books, love novels, adventurous, historic, bibilical and so on. so where your interest is, you choose a novel from that book. for me i often read the summary, (i forgot the term for that) at the back of the book and you have a gist about how the story goes. actually, i love to read adventurous and love novels, a book like "MARA"

i like to read 'Aesop's Fables' and 'a farewell to arms'. 'pride and prejudice' is nice too.i can't read them all by myself,i will use a dictionary when reading,i know that is not good for reading,but i can't help doing that,i think i should change my bad habit of looking up the dictionary while reading,what do you say?

Hmm... it's difficult to recommend a book without knowing your preference. Believe me some books that others love may be way too boring for others. If you're the teenage romance girl type, why not go for Meg Cabot, JK Rowling and other women authors who writes for kids? I can recommend Cabot's Mediator series if you're into the romance-fantasy types. Or Harry Potter if adventure-fantasy one. Agatha Christie is good. But you might find the dialogue difficult since they use high-english words and stuff. Try searching the bestsellers too. You can just go to your favorite bookstore and start browsing. If you can share the genre you think you will love, then maybe I can suggest more.

my most recent fav book that i've read is The Alchemist,by Paolo Coelho.it's about following your heart and pursuing your dream.the other is The Kite Runner.i have read 100 some pages and already can tell this book will stay in my heart forever.happy reading!!

it really depends on what your interest is in, and what your level of english proficiency is. for advanced reading, my favourite book of all time is Possession. It was made into a movie starring gywenth paltrow. For simple, very readable prose, I recommend "sing to the dawn" by Minfong Ho. For epic saga reading (a very long book), I liked A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. For a book with poetic meter, The Golden Gate by V. Seth is wholly in sonnet form, but very very readable. Not shakespearean at all. For something close to the hearts of modern chinese, I recommend "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. For something classically british, I recommend "Great Expectations" by charles dickens. Hope this interests you!

I would recommend "The Glass Palace" by Amitav Ghosh. It's a bit long, over 500 pages, but I don't think the English gets too complicated. My daughter gave it to me and at first I thought it was something that I wouldn't be interested in, but once I started I couldn't put it down. It's an epic of "love, war and family" that spans three generations in Burma, Malaya and India. Have fun!

I intended to post a topic like this, The replies here are really informative to me. I don't have more to suggest but I like books of detective type like Sherlock Holmes, mainly the books of Arthur Conan Doyle.Also I liked The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Happy readings!!

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald "Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell
