What else should I add to my summer reading list?

I'm a 16 year old girl.


So, far my list consists of:





Les Miserables by Victor Hugo


The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo


Emma by Jane Austen


The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux


Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (well I've read part of it, but I won't have time to finish before summer)


Villette by Charlotte Bronte


The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (I think that's his name)


The House At Riverton by Kate Morton





My favourite books are Gone With the Wind, Harry Potter, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Anne of Green Gables. I also LOVE any kind of historical fiction, as long as it's realistic. I don't tend to like mindless teen romances, so please don't suggest those. :)|||The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins





It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini





Any book from the "Royal Diaries" series for historical fiction|||From one 16 year old girl to another:





Anything by Jules Verne


Anything by Edgar Poe


The Arabian Nights


Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and other storis by Lewis Carroll


Frankenstein


Little Men [My favorite book}


The Joy Luck Club


The Iliad and the Oddyssey|||Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, translated by Kuniczek. It's a novel about the origens of the Christian church - the days of ST. Peter and St. Paul.

The Girl Who Played With Fire question?

I just finished The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (2nd book in the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series) and am about 120 pages into the third book. I have been curious about a follow-up to the hurricane/ 16 year old boy/ man who tried to murder his wife storyline in the beginning of 'Fire'. It was not mentioned once again in the second book, nor in the third so far, and am wondering if this will be brought up later, and if not, then why the author put it in. Please do not tell me any spoilers, am just curious! :-) thank you|||I just recently finished the girl who kicked the hornets nest. And the answer is no, sorry. I think Steig larsson but it the book for a specific reason. The first book rembear was orginally called Men who hate women. We saw that throughtout the book when men in general treated Lisbeth cruelly and unjuistifable. Throught girl who played with fire we see women treated badly but can't do anything about it. Steig showed how the Mr. Forbes could get away with it. Why repeat? We got it.





Also to add more about the boy. He was actually seventeen years old. No more mention of him because rembear Lisbeth has a problem with saying goodbye. And she couldn't get back because people were looking for her. The boy played no rule other than her occasional lover. I think if Stieg were still alive he could bring you this answers and but his insight or add a little more two the other novels. To bad we never know.|||I hope this isn't a spoiler by saying that it doesn't come up in the third book (sorry!) But it doesn't. I think the reason this scene in the second book exists is because the hurricane scene helps develop/bring out Lisbeth's character, in that she's constantly cognisant of domestic violence and will also take risks to save someone she thinks is vulnerable.

The girl with the dragon tattoo?

I started to read the girl with the dragon tattoo by stieg larsson because everyone is talking about how good it is. I am wondering when it will get interesting. All that is happening right now is all this political and trial boring stuff that I don't understand at all. Is the whole book like this or just the first few chapters. If it does get past all that where does the good parts start and could you just tell me a summery or something about what's happening at the beginning. PREFERABLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK PLEASE. Thanks.|||i didnt understand it at first either (im 15) but it doesnt get to the rising action until the end. However, i do recommend that you do not skip over anything, thats lazy and believe me, the back is waaaaay to good not to read and everything somehow fits into the ending so if you skim, youll be lost.

Which books should I read?

I have three books that I have to read for my summer reading list plus more that I want to read for myself





Summer Reading List. Which one should I read?:


1) The Partner - John Grisham


2) The Alchemist - Paul Coelho


3) The Chosen - Chaim Potok


4) Fences - August Wilson


5) The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold





For my own personal enjoyment. I will read all but which one should i read first:


1) The Book Thief - Markus Zusak - Stieg Larsson


2) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -


3) Sh*t My Dad Says - Justin Halpern





Anymore suggestions would be appreciated!|||SR: The Partner, The Alchemist, and The Chosen





I would read The Book Thief first. :]|||I'm going to be honest with, "Tom", you have a really gay summer reading list. Explosions? Intrigue? Action? Weapons? Where are they? What kind of guy are you, anyways?





Go read George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"|||I would read The Lovely Bones-Alce Sebold / The Chosen-Chaim Potok/ and Fences-August Wilson


For personal reading start with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo|||The first list, well, Grisham is always good. Lovely Bones starts out well, but I didn't really like it by the end.





In the second list, I highly recommend The Book Thief. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is kind of hard to follow in the beginning and the story is very dark. Intriguing and engaging, but very dark.|||From your Summer Reading List, most defiantly Lovely Bones or Alchemist. Both are fantastic reads.


For personal, I wouldn't suggest Dragon Tattoo, but I loved Book Thief.

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Noomi Rapace's full-length dragon tattoo on her back?

So I'm an artist, and I really want a tattoo. I want to draw an adaptation of Noomi Rapace's dragon tattoo that's on her back for a personal tattoo of my own. The problem is I can't find a decent picture that shows her full-length tattoo.


Noomi Rapace portrays Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish film adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (" " That Played with Fire, " " " Kicked the Hornet's Nest.)


I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks :D|||yeh google it

Help me!! I can't decide what to read--It's a CRISIS!!?

I can't decide what to read...


So I've got it down to three books:





4th of July by James Patterson. It's the fourth book in a series called "The Women's Murder Club." Really love the series, just finished the third and it left with a cliff-hanger so I really want to get to that one.


Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris. Second book in the True Blood series. Finished the first one, I liked it but didn't love it. I only want to get to through that series to get to the fourth book since I'm ADDICTED to the show. I've heard the new series is going to be based off the fourth book.


The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Started reading it two weeks, got about 200 pages through. Started to really enjoy the plot line, I saw how interesting it gets once you get pass the boring intros. I'm also waiting to see the movie until I finish reading the book, which I've been DYING to see.





So, which is the book for me?|||James Patterson, hands down. Better than those two books, definitely.|||Throw a fourth into the ring - it's an ebook, available on Amazon.com or on Smashwords.com, titled On The Rim, by Florida Town. It's had good reviews.|||i think the 4th of july one because james patterson is a very good acter i read alot of her books|||The Hunger Games.

Any recommendations for GOOD mystery/crime fiction (no Evanovich-type stuff)?

I'm looking for some recommendations for good, quality mystery/crime/suspense fiction (series or single books). I love the old stuff like Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle but have read most of their stuff. I'm a lot more picky when it comes to contemporary mystery/crime writers - I really enjoyed Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series and Shades of Grey, and I've just finished Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce books.


I definitely do NOT want something in the vein of Evanovich/Mary Higgins Clark/Patterson/Kellerman, and I absolutely hate anything I've read by Dan Brown.


I'm open to newer stuff or if there are older books in the vein of Christie/Doyle that I haven't checked out yet. No Stieg Larsson - I'm contemplating reading those but not right now.


Thanks!|||Ruth Rendell. I've read every book she's ever written. She's considered the best of mystery writers alive today. Her characters are drawn magnificantly and you will be hard pressed to put a book down once you've started it.





She also writes under the name of Ivy Vine.
