I feel like a total nerd ha ha.
but i haven't read a good book in a long time.
I enjoy books by Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Dan Brown.
some of my favorite books include: The Perks of Being a Wallflower,Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Pure Sunshine, The Bell Jar, Angels & Demons, A Million Little Pieces.
any suggestions?

Here are a couple you might enjoy:
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Itâs about a reality TV show where two people from each state, called âtributes,â must go on this TV show and are made to kill the each other until one survivor is left. They are not allowed to bring anything with them, and must make weapons by themselves out of the tress, rocks etc. They must learn to hide from others, camouflage themselves, hunt wild animals for food and kill the other people. The problem is, a main character, Peeter, is in love with one of the other girls who has been picked for the hunger games, and he does not want to kill her â he is madly in love with her, but she doesnât know it. Itâs an extremely gripping novel, and you see how people turn on each other for survival, and how they hide (they even climb trees and sleep in the branches to be away from other enemies). Hereâs the blurb on the back of the book if you want to know more:
In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality tv show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sisterâs place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.
- âTomorrow when the war beganâ by John Marsden which is about a group of teenagers who go camping for a while in the holidays, and when they return home, they find their whole town captured and that they are at war. All telephone lines have been cut and there is no way out of the town without facing thousands of guards. They are the townâs only hope to freedom. Itâs really moving to see what they have to go through (people die, become injured and captured, and they still have to keep fighting!) Blurb on back of the book:
Ellie and her friends leave home one quiet morning, wave goodbye to their parents and head up to the hills to camp out for a while; seven teenagers filling in time during the school holidays.
The world is about to change forever. Their lives will never be the same again.
Would you fight? Would you give up everything? Would you sacrifice even life itself?
Tomorrow when the war began asks the biggest questions you will ever have to answer.
- Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett. Blurb on the back of the book:
On a warm October night in Chicago, three deliveries were made in the same neighbourhood. A plump tangereen moon had just risen over Lake Michigan. The doorbell had been rung at each place, and an envelope propped outside...The same letter went out to all three:
Dear Friend,
I would like your help in identifying a crime that is now centuries old. This crime has wronged one of the world's greatest painters. As those in positions of authority are not brave enough to correct this error, I have taken it upon myself to reveal the truth. I have chosen you because of your discriminating eye, your intelligence, and your ability to think outside of convention...Although you may never meet, the three of you will work together in ways none of us can predict. If you show this to the authorities, you will most certainly be placing your life in danger...
The letter was not signed, and it had no return address.
Anyway, those are some of my favourite books. I hope I helped!
