The Tin Drum is bit of a long and complicated reading, but the story itself along with the plot is amazing! Highly recommend

[Nancy Yao]

[Ismar Zamora]

Fahrenheit 451!

the picture of dorian gray is amazing :))

Hi there! All my favorites are really just all those fiction books that we all read in elementary school haha. I find rereading all of the old faves is really relaxing, like the Percy Jackson series, or the Hunger Games trilogy. Reminds me of the good ol' days :')

[Sabrina Galvan 3J]

I recently finished Circe by Madeline Miller and I loved it! She portrays Circe in an empathetic light, as the book goes through many classic greek myths in her perspective. If it weren't for school and other responsibilities, I would've read it in an entire day!

[Lizbeth Garcia 1F]

I really enjoyed Cat's Cradle and Six of Crows.

I second the Six of Crows! I really enjoyed that book.

[Tam Nguyen 2B]

If you're into reading thrillers, The Night Bird by Brian Freeman was pretty exciting and adrenaline inducing for a succinct novel.

[Eric Ngo 1F]

One of my favorite books is The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen!! I definitely recommend it; it was one of the most impactful reads I've had. Others would be Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse and On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong.

[TiffanyBrownfield 2I]

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a nice read if you’re into books that discuss morality and the such.

[LReedy_3C]

I'm reading Lonely Planets right now and its really good, all about the possibilities of life in space

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

The Count of Montecristo is a must-read if you like a lot of drama in your books. It's all about revenge! I have only read the abridged version in my English class because it was so long.

[Nina Ellefsen 2D]

Just finished The Folk of the Air series by Holly Black which was a pretty fun read- I also recently read Normal People by Sally Rooney & I highly recommend!

[vuongnaomi1L]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower :)

[Hasan Mirza 3F]

I picked up a new book recently called "Anxious People." I haven't finished it yet but the style so far is pretty interesting and it was a bestseller so I think it's worth a read.

[Will Pham 1J]

I recently read "The Devil in the White City" and I really liked it!

[Andrew Dao 3C]

If you're into science fiction, my favorites are The Martian and World War Z. Both fantastic and explore lots of complicated points.

[Lillian]

I'm reading Still Life With Crows right now and it's pretty good. But it's about crime (murder) so if you're squeamish I wouldn't be too keen on going for this one.

[Giselle_zamora_1L]

Depends on what you like, if you like books that are simple but lifechanging and make you think I recommend the Garden of Eden, its soo good !

[Charisma Arreola 2F]

I recommend the Harry Potter series as comfort books!

[Violet Kwan 3H]

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. Such a cute romance book!

[LeahSWM 2E]

Love this thread! was just saying I wanted to read more books my phone is getting annoying lol. Definitely read Becoming by Michelle Obama!

[Vivian_Le_1L]

I've read the Selection Series so many times and love it more and more each time. Definitely recommend! It's kind of like a cross between The Bachelorette and Hunger Games.

[005137088]

Crime and Punishment is a great read

[cadytran1K]

Anything written by Colleen Hoover is literal perfection

[Ben Broselle 3 I]

if you like fantasy books the Eragon series is great.

[Shannon Clark 1F]

If you like greek mythology, Song of Achilles and Circe are both very good, they are retellings of greek mythological stories by Madeline Miller!

[405509920]

I remember the days when I had time to read, those were good times.

But yes some timeless classics I'd recommend: The Outsiders (greasers vs preps), Watershipdown (action adventure w/ rabbits), & Ender's Game (military tactics, xenophobia, and a child prodigy)

Fun Reads: Aurora Cycle Series (comedic sci-fci action adventure), Axioms End (first contact with aliens), & The Lunar Chronicles (sci-fi retelling of all your favorite fairytales)

Worlds to get lost in: The Firebringer Trilogy (hero's cycle but with unicorns), the Warrior Cats Series (feral cats & warring clans), The Golden Compass (inerdimensional travel, alternate universes, & armored polar bears)

Cerebral reads: Felidae (cat detective solves murders, defines morality & discovers the horrors of eugenics, weird but really good) & H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos (cosmic horror & existentialism)

I probably gave you whiplash from all the genre switching but hopefully theres something in there for all of you! Happy reading ya'll

[Jaelyn Christian 2J]

I honestly recommend the Mortal Instruments series. It's honestly one of my favorites.

[Eduarda Diniz 2B]

I love Harry Potter! I really recommend reading the books if you've only watched the movies!

[205769933]

Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama and any other Japanese literature just hits different for me. The tone, the setting, and the way characters are portrayed just feels so humane and real. Definitely recommend!

[Desiree 3E]

They Both Die at the End is a great read!!

[Madeline_Miller]

My all-time favorite book is actually The Giver by Louis Lowry. I 100% recommend this book. I also highly recommend Flowers to Algernon because that is the only book that has made me full-on cry.

[Ellen Brock 2I]

The Book Thief is so amazing so definitely recommend if you haven't read it yet. For a series, I would recommend A Study in Charlotte. It is part of a series and is really just like a quick fun time haha. It has to do with the descendants of Sherlock and John Watson which makes it pretty cool

[Giselle Simmons 2D]

I loved The Honey Bus by Meredith May.

[Giselle Simmons 2D]

Wondering if anyone has read novels by Haruki Murakami? My brother loves his book such as Kafka on the Shore... curious if anyone else would recommend.
