I am looking for some great easy read books that you just can't draw your eyes away from. I love a book with a little romance such as Rifles for Watie with Lucy and Jeff. But then again Across Five April's was a GREAT book with no romance but the details were just terrific. So please direct me toward books like these two or maybe some totally different just as long it is set in the Civil War.

Answer
Killer Angles

Red Badge of Courage

Cold Mountain

The Pony Soldiers

I need to find great books about greek mythology. I don't need percy jackson & the Olympians, Heroes of olympus or the Odyssey, because i already7 read them. And if there is a book with a collection of different stories, and a book that focuses on the titan war that would be great. and in advanced thank you.

Answer
The Iliad is great and I recommend it most highly, especially if you've read the Odyssey. However, it is a bit dense, though more readable than most portions of the BIble. Still, you asked for advanced...

Other ancient texts:
Hesiod's Theogony,
Aesop's works (his fables; read them as adult collection),
works of Sappho,
the Argonautica,
True History by Lucian of Samosata

Titanomachy by Eumelus of Corinth focuses entirely on the titan war, so that should be a good read for you.

Hope that helped.
