i was plannin to read a couple books this summer.. 

like when talkin bout books, i cant say much, because i havent read that many books at all

and i wanna read serious things, like autobiographies.. you know

so what yall suggest i read?

hitchhikers guide 2 da galaxy, i read it last year.

nice avvy! so what is that book about?

The little engine who could

ay man FUCC YOU!

its about a guy who goes places in the universe, it didnt make sense to me

You’re still in high school, right? If that’s the case, then one of my favourite high school books to read was The Catcher In The Rye.

You might also like Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. You seem to me to have an interest in black culture, and this book’s main character is black. The main character undergoes some interesting life changes. I say “main character” ‘cause you’re never told in the book what his name is, which adds to the overall effect :wink:

They both have very “urban” feels, so I figured you might like that.

i like teh book to kill a mockingbird

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (Highly recommended for a person coming out of HS)
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (Excellent read)
DaVinci Code by Dan Brown (If you want to read this, I suggest you read Angels and Demons first)
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

All of those books are quick reads. I finished Siddhartha and Fahrenheit 451 in a day each. I finished A&D and DaVinci Code in about 10 days total.

We read Siddhartha in english 10.. but thats cuz our school is smart

I loved “A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.”  Maybe that’s because I’m a nerd though.

Try reading “ A Short History On Nearly Everything ”  by Bill Bryson.  He is probably one of my favorite authors of all time.

hooked on phonics

fucc you and that girl in the avatar

Yeah, Fahrenheit 451 was good…also, I reccomend Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.  It’s a pretty short novella, well-structured, and tells a great story.
