Why do 'Teen' books tend to suck? Seriously. There is the awful travesty that is the Twilight series (I don't care if you read them, but really, diamond skinned vampires? Come on.) and those stupid Gossip Girl/Clique/Whatever series. There is the cringe-worthy book 'The Astonishing Adventures of Fan Boy and Goth Girl' which looks so, so promising ( ( Read more... )

Surrender rocks my socks! As well as a bunch of other books that you probably wouldn't like.
Before I go into that, though, I must agree with you on "The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl" which sounded so incredibly awesome just by its title...and then...it turns out to SUCK BEYOND BELIEF! WHAT THE HECK.
Anyways, here is my list of BOOKS THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T LIKE.
1. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
2. An Abundance of Katherines (I bet you'd like this).
3. Looking for Alaska (maybe)
4. Elsewhere (the concept is awesome :D)
5. The Book of Flying, which, while being extremely graphic and purple, is also kinda good.
Also, I must confess that I read Gossip Girl and enjoy them. It's IRONIC, you see. :-).

Hero was indeed awesome. And I liked Surrender too, for all it's weirdness.
An Abbundance of Katherines! I knew there was a book that needed to be on my Reading List! Thank you for reminding me, O Anonymous One. And I need to finish Book of Flying, and then send it back to its mysterious owner. :D

Book of Flying is weird in all its wonderful odd fantasy glory :DDD.
Bwahahaha.

I need an LJ STAT!
Also the books about vampire pirates are rather obviously named...
Vampirates! OMG I remember I went somewhere with the oh so esteemed Original Poster of this and we found those and we were scared...

I love East, own it several times over. (Seriouisly,I keep losing copies and having to buy it again. It's ridiculous)
I've heard of Robin McKinley, and have read everything that takes place in Tortall. And also know that Tamora Pierce tried to write a gay relationship between Duke Roger and Thom (projecting! He was totally after Alanna!...And Alex...) but her editors wouldn't allow it. :D
Did not like Sabriel. I am clearly a heathen who must be shunned!
And I love Count of Monte Cristo. Good book! Need to reread it...
And I have read the Wrinkle in Time quartet. I refuse to believe there is a fifth book.
