    Hey, I see you plan to read The Book Thief. I really liked that one. The narration was great. Persepolis was great, too. It's often taught here to young students (13-16 year-olds) who know little of that time period/place/culture. So, it may seem very simple but I think it was intended to be. I loved it as well. Those are both considered young adult books but I feel they are just as good as books marketed towards adults. One last sugestion: The Road by Cormac MaMcarthy. He's one of my favorite authors. Ok, happy reading!

    ya you are right ..
    the book is the best friend that will never ever fail you ..
    you always can depend on it when you are down it can cheer you! .. and when you are filled with you sadness it tells you there are ppl sad too over there .. the books are the best reason to dream and the best reason to love the reality :)
    you read alot ! thats cool .. (I wish i do the same too) ..
