In the last month alone I finished reading about three books. Books are like a video game or a movie that you can read. You could have more adventures with one book then you could have with five video games!
In a way it's like Facebook you get to meet friends and have fun with them. Think about it! Would you rather melt your brain in front of a TV for most of the day? OR, would you rather go to far away lands and meet people that are much different than you and me and do things you never thought you could do?
I always am reading between five and eight books at a time (don't ask why). And though some books aren't exactly ones I'd put on my "must read list", I still find one that I want to start over as soon as I finish it.
Here are just a few books I would recommend, in no particular order:
The Dreamer's Adventures (Information can be found here) (On a side note, Oliver is a friend of mine.)
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
The Adventurers Wanted series, by M L Forman
Eventide, by Tracy and Laura Hickman
The Hobbit (Who doesn't like J R R Tolkien?)
The 39 Clues (Both history and adventure)
As Time Goes By, by Jerry Borrowman
Popular Clone, by M E Castle
Argo, by Antonio Mendez
Life Of Pi, by Yann Martel
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain (Personal favorite book, and author. Just make sure it's unabridged)
The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern (Abridged by William Goldman)
Chickens in the Headlights, by Matthew Buckley (If you're looking for laughs)
Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling (Duh)
The Adventures of Tintin, by Herge (Awesome adventure comics)
Maus, by Art Spiegelman (great WWII graphic novel)
Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson (Hey, who doesn't like a trouble making little boy and his sidekick stuffed tiger?)
Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World, by Jennifer Armstrong (Good history book)
Those are just a few books even though I have many more!
So as soon as you are done reading this.... Go Pick Up A Book Because Your Adventure Awaits!
Holler when you are ready for a real book. "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier. It is his first book and it is pure literature. You might want to wait until winter comes again, it's that kind of book. I will loan it to you. I also have the 'book on tape' read by the author.
