Haha yeah. Sorry this is a complete waste of a thread. After thinking about it so much while I was writing the thread I decided to enter "the hidden" or something like that into amazon and sure enough I found the book. (more spoilers coming up now)... I don't know if I'd think it was good now...

Nevermind I figured it out. It's among the hidden.

I read a book when I was younger and I don't remember the name of it. I remember it was part of a series. It was about... I think families weren't allowed to have more than 2 children or something, and if they did they would get in trouble, and it's about a family that has a 3rd I think and he...

Say you're trying to write a book, story, poem, love letter, birthday note, whatever, and you get writer's block to a degree, or maybe you don't but you find yourself inspired to write anyway. And yeah you could probably read five or ten books and eventually get back in that writing zone from...

THank you kindly! In fact, thank you very kindly... very kindly indeed!

I don't mind. I'm a boy, 20 years old. Is the trilogy you suggested the one with The Golden Compass? I remember enjoying that a lot as a kid when it was read to me, but I eventually tried reading the third one when it came out (having been read the first two a few years earlier), and i lost...

Sorry which book that was suggested is part of the Bartimaes trilogy? thanks

these are all dark and violent, but i think the OP of this thread was going for books entailing younger characters and more of a coming of age type theme to them. also - there have been a lot of suggestions - would anyone who has read a lot of them care to comment on which they think is/are...

yeah i agree. whoever posted this is totalllly lame. maybe like, "lame anonymous coward' would be most suiting.

i dont know if its in my name. i just think most books without characters that the reader can feel emotionally attached too just aren't worth reading. thanks for the recommendation though! and thanks everyone else! ill check all of these out! as for alice and wonderland i've always been...

Are any of his short stories available on the internet? Or where did you find them?

I'm looking for a book with a character or characters that I can really relate to and get close to. This usually more easily happens to me when watching a movie because there can be an attractive actress and that goes a part of the way. For example Evan Rachel Wood in Thirteen, Emma Watson as...

Is this book similar to harry potter? from your thread title and book description im hoping...

I went awhile without any close relationships to people, and during that time I read a lot of the gossip girl books and was very much entertained. then I finally had some intimate interaction with a real live human being and realized that the characters in gossip girl are completely fake, so...

I'm looking for short poems that might inspire me to write something of my own, or to compare other poems to, to discuss, think about, or just to read for fun and to better my mind. A rather longer than I'm generally looking for example - The poem from Perks of Being a Wallflower. One of the...

It's seriously GREAT. Not just because of the great characters (particularly the protagonist is just so selfless beyond anything I'd imagined before reading this book, BUT even more so because of the way it made at least me think about concepts like blame and fault and anger and treating me...

My favorite books by Nabokov are (the only ones I've read thus far) Transparent Things, Despair, and Lolita. Perks of being a Wallflower and Shade's Children (and Harry Potter) are also favorites of mine. I just thought I'd start this thread to see if anyone has similar tastes to mine so that we...

I have trouble getting through most books unless they're wildly entertaining and fast paced. Harry Potter is both for the most part. one of the rare books that is i think. basically even though i dont have dislexia or anything i probably have a harder time getting through most books than many...

i read transparent things and despair by vladimir nabokov. really liked both. also all harry potter books. very entertainiing, good characters, clever/fun/engaging dialogue. hard to put down as well, just after the end of the last books especially i was disappointed because the plot just doesnt...

Legal or illegal, I don't care. I just want to be able to download the likes of Nabokov, Vonnegut, etc etc for FREE. I'm looking for a LARGE selection of free downloads. That means no monthly fee like most the sites that claim they're "free" on google. An actual free site for downloading...
