The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. In his first book for young adults, bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by acclaimed artist Ellen Forney, that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.

Alright..the best books in the world are, obviously, the Lord of the Rings series, followed by the Silmarillion (Spelling?).
After that, there's the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, The Stars at War are also very good. Then, there's Harry Turtledove who writes Alternate History.
No i think earagon took a much better plot but LOR will always be a classic
Jakob's Star Trilogy is a really great book series. they are about a family before, during, and after WWII. They start right after WWI. The first book is about Jakob's mother. It then continues for his whole life. The books are long but I would recommend them to anyone.
No, Eragon is not really that good...I mean, this blonde PANSY decides to walk around this wierd land? Please!
Also, why is the Empire evil? It is never really said, after all, what evil did they do?
It is a neat series, heck, I'm reading them aloud to my parents and sister, but still!
Post Script: The movie bit!
i think that the insporational romances seieres is the best.
Also i think that the chicken soup for the girls soul.
i think that the underland chrnicles is a good series for people who like fantasy and/or action.
I just did a book project on Dragon Rider. It was a good book, I kind of like fantasy a lot. Next I'm planning on reading Eragon; I heard that was a good book.
I just finished reading JPod by Douglas Coupland. It was a very funny book about 6 people that design video games. I also think it's funny that Coupland kept bringing himself into the book.
D.N angel is probably the best comic ever!
LOR is really good eragons movie is cool to
Eragon is an awsome series. the Empire is evil b/c Galbatorix, the king, along with the Forsworn, killed the Riders when they did nothing to deserve it. Oh and by the way, Eragon is NOT A PANSY!! All of this is said by Brom in the beginning of the first book.
PS: the movie was horrible
Manga is my favorite kind of books. My favorites are Yotsuba&!, Azumanga Diaoh, and His and Hers Circumstances. (Kare Kano) I like the Dear Dumb Diary books too, even though they're not mangas. :)
I love romances they are the coolest thing about Japanese ainme chcek these turn twisting anime:MARS,kARE kANO,FRUIT BASKET,RAVE MASTER,MODEL and DEMON DIARY
Yeah, Galbatorix and the Forsworn killed the entirety of the riders, but BY BROM'S OWN ADMISSION the Rider's had grown lazy and arrogent in their dominion of the land. So, they deserved to be killed off!
Another good book is the Chronicals of Narnia, but it does leave a lot of holes in the story that are never really explained.
Eragon is a good book, yeah, but there are way better series, out there, people.
Brom did not say that the riders deseved to be killed off! That was Murtagh at the end of the second book!
One awsome book series is the Maximum Ride series, by James Patterson
Yes, that there is. But, Eragon provides a nice hotbed of contention, making nice long debates very possible and enjoyable.
Eric Flint is also a decent writer, and, of course, Tom Clancy is hard to ignore.
No, in the FIRST BOOK, Brom was telling the story of how Galbatorix rose to power.
He said, and I quoth: "...but the Riders had grown lazy and arrogent in their power..." Suggesting that Galbatorix had just pruned the bush, not that he did an "evil" deed. If you're going to read the books and then debate them, read them FULLY.
I cannot see why people like the Manga books. Aren't they just basicly picture books?
Basically...Except that they suppossedly have really cool graphics and pictures. Personally, I find it really stupid.
Is is just me or is this post abandoned? It seems like nobody pays any attention to this area anymore!
Aren't graphics pictures, too?
Has anyone ever read Wicked the story about the Wicked Witch of the West? I recently got it and want to know if it is any good.
Has anyone read Wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the west
I finised Harry Potter and I finished it in about 9 hours. It was the best book in my opinion. Even thought many people die on both sides of the war it is simply the greatest.
I am about half way through reading the last Harry Potter. I am enjoying it but am trying to relish each page since this is the last one.
Have you seen the latest Harry movie? I saw it over the weekend. Not as good as the book but then movies never are as good as the book.

The movie was pretty good. I thought it seemed to jump around alot. They never seemed to stay in one place.
I finished the 7th book while I was om vacation. When I was done I read this book that had a bunch of things that they thought would happen. It was fun to see what they predicted and laugh at how wrong they were!
I agree with you about the movie! This was the first Harry movie that I thought you needed to have read the book beforehand because they jumped around so much.
I have finished reading Pretties and have started Specials by Scott Westerfield. I am not usually a sci/fi reader but I like this series.
Specials was my favorite.
I think Specials tied together all 3 books nicely.
What other books have you been reading?
Are you in the student book club?
Mrs. Bodeau
Will we start book club earlier this year?
I just read a book called "The Empty Mirror". I thought it was pretty good. If you like stories about the unnatural and mysterious, I would probably recommend this book to you...
intresting
I think that the Icemark Chronicles are really super good books. But only the first 2 are done but I read the 3rd is coming August 2008.
