I cant remember any books I loved in HS, but in elementary school...I loved the R.L Stine books! Right now Im reading a set of love stories. There are 4 books in the series and its about 4 girlfriends who run their own wedding buisness. Ones the baker, ones the floriest, ones the photograpgher and one is the planner. In each book one of them ends up falling in love. Im on the 3rd book and just love it! Here is a link to them:

I don't know if I ever read an entire book in High school. However, after graduating I have started loving reading for fun.

Right now I have a book half started that is just okay. The new tv shows have set me back in reading.

My all time favorite books or the Shopoholice series by Sophie Kinsella. I actually love all her books. I usually read chick lit type books. Fun easy and I can't put down or pick up when ever I want to.

I got a Kindle for Christmas last year and I love it. I follow a few blogs that tell you all the free books you can download for your kindle. Right now I have about 25 books downloaded to read.

I honestly don't remember much of what I read in highschool. I know I read a couple good ones in college.

I think the best books I read for school were A Million Little Pieces, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and Lucky (I read this my senior year in highschool and it definitely was not assigned reading. We chose a book of our choice and did a project on it).

I fought the Twilight craze for as long as I possibly could, and to be honest I've only read the last book (The rest I've just seen movies) and it was amazing. If I ever get a job that lets me have a life, I plan on reading the whole series.

I love the books by Mitch Album. There were a few times I broke down and cried my eyes out over them!

<div>LOVED that series. I couldn't put it down.</div><div>
</div><div>I'm also hooked on all of Emily Giffin's books. Something Borrowed was her first one and was made into a movie that was out this summer. </div>

Meegles4 · September 2011

Oh gosh, I can't think of favorites EVER. There are just too many. As for rec's, I've loved The Hunger Games, Unwind (another Young Adult book), American Wife, Room, The Other Boleyn Girl/The Boleyn Inheritance, and One Day, just to name a few!

emarston1 · September 2011

My favorite book from highschool is probably Catcher in the Rye although I have a feeling if I reread it, I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much.

My favorite series is by far the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. They are fun, light mysteries that just crack me up. So good! I've also enjoyed the Shopaholic series and the books my Emily Giffin.

If you haven't already, you should check out goodreads.com. It is a great site to keep track of what books you've read (and more importantly what you thought of them!) as well as a neat way to search for new books.

I'm totally into "classic" type literature. In high school, my favorite book was Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea. I just loved the imagery and the emotion. I also really liked William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. The way in which it is written is so unique, I thought it was really well done.

My favorite book of all time is Black Elk Speaks. I love historical books. For anyone who is interested in history or native american (Lakota) culture, I highly recommend it. It's beautiful.

Yesterday, I just started reading A River Runs Through It. I like it so far

Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mocking Bird were my favorites from high school. What I mostly read now is all psychology or brain related stuff though so I won't do any recommendations.

</em></div><div>My favorite book - I didn't read it <em>for </em>high school but I was in high school when I read it - was/is <em>Redeeming Love. </em>A love story, if it wasn't obvious.

My favorite book in school was The Crucible. My teacher had us "perform" it in class, that is probably why I got so into it.

I have to admit... I am a huge Twihard. I boycotted it for as long as I could until I saw the first movie and I fell for it. I have read all of the books, and have seen all of the movies and I CANNOT wait until the last one comes out.

But I also love mystery/thriller books. Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors.

I don't remember anything I read except for Animal Farm. I loved that book. Other than that, I'd love to read, but I think with my adhd or my wanting to sleep instead, takes over and I just don't read. Unless it's Magazines lol.

emilynnp · September 2011

I think my favorite book in High School was Wuthering Heights. I was a very dramatic teenager. I haven't re-read the book, but I recently watched the most recent Masterpiece Theater interpretation and I have to say, Heathcliff was a manipulative jerk! Its interesting how life experience changes your reaction to these things.

I have several favorites now. I love Sense and Sensibility and pretty much all things Jane Austen. But I also really like Sci-Fi/Fantasy. My favorite in that genre is American Gods by Neil Gaiman. If you're at all into mythology it is a really cool story. If you like a steamy historical fiction, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is pretty hot. There's a whole series, but I prefer the first book by far. The rest gets a little too heavy/weird for me.

carpediem27 · September 2011

In HS I fell in love with Shakespear and the Greek tragedies and plays. My favorite was probably Medea (looking back, I see a definite link between the revenge theme of Medea and the bad realationship I was in at the time, go figure).

In general, my favorite books are The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullogh and Hearts In Atlantis by Stephen King.

I am currently reading Game of Thrones, the first book that the HBO series in based on and I love it. I cant wait to read them all.

I also like the Ann Rice vampire and witch books, and the Charlaine Harris books that the show True Blood is based (loosely, at this point) on.

My other favorite kind of book is biographies of rock bands and all of Pamela Des Barres books
