Ms. Rex's Rocks discussion

do you have any books you think i or anyone else should read? my book isnt very long so im gonna need one soon

Some books and series I think most people will enjoy are:
1. Elephant Run by: Roland Smith
2. The Alex Rider series by: Anthony Horowitz
3. I.Q. by Roland Smith
4. The Narnia series by C.S. Lewis
5. The Percy Jackson series by: Rick Riordan

All the Ellen Hopkin's books. They're amazing. There's like one or two chick parts here and there but they're crazy in a good way!

What are "chick parts" supposed to be? :)

Like where the character talks about her relationship or things ilke that. haha

Oh, I learned something new, thanks a lot!

Haha no problem!

I am currently reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and I would recommend it to most teens and adults! This book unlocks the secrets of Washington DC and includes history and classical arcitecture. :]

im gonna be reading 1984 by george orwell as soon as i can get to the library

I just bought the Templar Throne by Paul Christopher and it's great so far!:))

whats that book about harrison?

I just started The Da Vinci Code and I think it's great so far!

i heard that was really good sean

Yes, I think it is pretty good so far, but some parts are weird. :))

the book is about a future from the 1940's and where society was headed, its really good

Sounds like something I would like to read!! :)

you should

Thanks for the recommendation! :))

oh thats cool.

Indeed, it sounds like a pretty cool book Harrison!:)

If anyone's looking for a book to read I would highly recommend The Maze Runner.

The Maze Runner sounds pretty intense!!:))

ive heard of it, sounds interesting

I agree, I possibly may read it after The Da Vinci Code. :D

I've started reading the Da Vinci Code! It was really good. I didnt have enough time towards the end of it to read it, so i put it down and i'm going to pick it up again very soon. But i do need to read the Lost Symbol!

Ijust finished the Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol and both were great books!(Check out my reviews, and possibly give me some feedback!):))

Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card is a great book and the first in a series. Anyone who liked Ender's Game would love this book!

To be honest, I really did not enjoy Ender's Game. I felt so depressed when they were all in space, it just felt so dark and gloomy. Do you still think I would enjoy Pathfinder?

I really like the book thief by markus zusak. This book takes place in the begining/during the Holocaust.

i want to read that book, what books are ya'll reading for the civil rights unit?

I'm reading the second difficult book. Not how to kill a mockingbird but the other one on the second page, the bottom one.

I'm either going to read How to Kill a Mockingbird or Darkest Corner, the book Nelly was talking about. ;))

I kind of want to read To Kill a Mockingbird but then I don't because I'd have to read it again in high school. I'm trying to decide between Darkest Corner and Fire from the Rock. Suggestions anyone?

I think the Darkest Corner sounds really good and it'll challenge you. Sounds good to meeee.

That's what its called! Thanks!

I'm unsure whether I should read "How to Kill a Mockingbird" or "Darkest Corner". Both books sound very interesting and I don't know which to read...

to kill a mockingbird definately ,i've read it and its one of my all time favorite books

Thanks for your advise and I think I am going to choose that book.

Your welcome!:)

ITS NOT 'HOW TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD'!!!! ITS TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD!!!! Sorry....that was really bothering me...

lol, nice job madhu

With all due respect, I apologize. That was a good correction Madhu. "To Kill a Mockingbird". Thanks.:))

Haha sorry Madhu! It's cause I just finished the hunger games and I always want to say how to kill a mockingjay.. lil bit off haha

I need to read that series, dont i? everyone keeps telling me i should

... You have'nt read the series of "The Hunger Games" yet...
(Don't know if I spelled have'nt right... XD)

I haven't read "The Hunger Games" yet. I plan on reading them over the summer because I have so many books I just bought and I need to get to them first.:))(Thanks for the recommendation). :D

Thanks for fixing that...

And I just started reading "A Child Called "It"" by Dave Pelzer. This book is a true story about a child that is abused. Its really sad but its still a really good book. It will make you cry though. (Yes, even if you're a guy)

And is "The Hunger Games" series as good as everyone says it is? I've been thinking about reading those but I'm not sure if I should.

You should definitely read "The Hunger Games" series...
I can't believe how hardly anybody has read the series... Well anyways, "The Hunger Games" series is great because it has enough action for guys and romance for girls, anyone who picks up this book will enjoy it. XD

@Madhu: I know this was a bit while back but I just noticed that I also put How to kill a mockingbird... My mistake. :P

That's okay, John. And thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to finish the series by the end of the year!
