well i will say that i rather enjoyed The War of the Worlds by HG Wells.
I also enjoy Ender's Game- I am only two chapters into it but i find it good.
Animal Farm, Can't belive that i had to read this for Language.
Lord of the Flies, this was another good book i had to read for language arts.
Bless me, Ultima, This is one kick butt book that i had to read for Academic Decathalon
Night, this if you have never heard of it is the memoir by Elie Weisel about him surviving a concentration camp during the hallucast.

I will say that Stormbreak, the first book in the Alex Rider series, made me sad. That may just be because the day before i began reading the book my uncle passed away and the book mentions the death of Alex Rider's uncles death which made me really sad. I am actually getting sad typing this

I read the first book in the Alex Rider series about a year ago and I really hated it. I couldn't stand the way it was written.
