I like manga a lot, but if we're talking book-books, then I like sci-fi and thrillers.

I like horror and dystopian!

Ooh, I forgot about dystopias! They're good.

:)

But I don't read horror because scary stuff is scary. It took me forever to read Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children because of the pictures. *shiver*

oooo i love horror too
STephen king is pretty good
and ive read others but i dont remebr the authors lol
ive read a few dystopians
The Hunger Games and Divergent count for dystopian right?

Yep to that last part!

I love Stephen King too, but I've only read a few of his. The Stand is my favorite.

Dystopian is literally almost the only thing I read. THG and Divergent do count as dystopia. THey are the totalitarian branch of dystopia.

alright
any suggestions for dystopian books to read?

I liked The Giver, but another one I've seen is Truesight

@Starwisher, Sure! I have tons. The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau, Dove Arising by Karen Bao, Matched by Allie Condie, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. If you browse the dystopian section of genres on GR you'll find like +2000 titles. :)

alright i'll give read it sometime lol
i have yet to read "The Stand" my mom loves that book. My fav is "Misery" and "The Outsider". they are slightly gory but AMAZING!!!!!

I heard the book is way more violent than the movie.
And Misery the movie was pretty violent!

Haven't seen the movie yet
but yeah the book is uhm.. frighteningly descriptive. I got chills reading some chapters. It was the first book I read by him and that book hooked me into reading more of his stuff. I'm re-reading "The Shining". I'm gonna get the second part to it soon

Nice! About that last part.

Thanks Rachael, i've read "Red Queen" i'm towards the ending on Glass Sword atm

I hate filler scenes like that!
Just get to the point!
