Currently I am reading Spiral, the fifth and final book in the amazing Tunnels series by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams.

I like Mice and Men, but don't get why it's considered a classic.



The only books I ready are rpgs with no voice overs.

Honestly the only books I read are in school as I can't stand reading, it's simply not a hobby. So my question is what entices some of you to read?

I used to read all the time, but then I stopped reading as much during high school, until senior year. When I started reading the Hunger Games, that's what got me back into reading. I had forgotten how amazing books could be, after being forced to read all those boring books in school. The books that you read in school can make you think that all books suck, but that's not the case at all.

I have found some books in school to be decent, notably The Chocolate War caught my attention.

I'm going to preach one of my favorite books to you guys. It's called "Guns of the South," and it is the best piece of historical fiction I've ever read. Basically, the premise is that time traveling racists give the Confederate Army AK-47s in 1864.

I'm dead serious.



I just finished Year Zero last night and let me tell this to all of you-- don't believe anyone when they say that book is good, they're obviously trolling you.

The premise is incredible, it's just everything else is terrible. It has horribly written characters that have no arc what-so-ever, it has unimaginative bland aliens and alien worlds, it's not actually that funny, and the entire book is setup to tell one incredibly old, boring, cliche, unfunny joke at the end that anyone could see coming a mile away.

From the bad humor, the way it was written, and how completely uninspired everything is, I would probably believe you if you told me a 13 year old wrote that book.
