by far the best book i've read in school.


The Scarlet Letter-Nathaniel Hawthorne (True tragic romantic novel)


its a soap opera with high vocabulary

lots of symbolism and i like the character Jay Gatsby





I read a lot of books by Michael Crichton and Matthew Reilly.


Action/Sci-fi.


what i really suggest is to talk to a librarian or just search barnesandnoble.com or any other book seller website and browse by genre.
