alright, so for my major english assignment, i have to read two books and write an essay comparing them. now heres where you come in, i went to the library and realized everything i saw was either one of those ridiculously corny teen books, or one of those ridiculously long adult books, or ridiculously awesome kids books, which i am not allowed to read. can anyone reccomend me a good somewhat interesting SHORT book, it has to be a story not a long essay or something. please help me i am desperate. if there is one that has to do with skiing or something that would be even better. thank you kindly.

i thought brave new world moved along faster then 1984, and that is the main reason i like bnw better. at about the 3/4 point in 1984 i got bored reading, and that never happens when you are as big of a nerd as i am.

i'm in the middle of catch-22 right now, it's pretty good, watership down, uh..1984 is rather good, fallen angels, damn good book there, and uh...i'm sure there's more but i can't think of them right now.


If you ever catch on fire, don't look in the mirror, cause I bet that would really throw you into a panic!

read 'Regina's Song' by david eddings...it's kinda long book but you get into it. I think I finished it in a week and I think I'm a slow reader, plus I only read like 2 hours a night. Plus that book is something you can really argue about because of its story line.

'Holes' is another really good book, plus its short. You can really connect things in that book from past to future which is neat.

'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens is good too, but pretty long and it's hard to stay concentrated on the book and what's going on. Read that in a week I think...

Those are just some ideas. I don't know what grade level your teacher wants you to read, so I put some variety in...

Skiing is not for the simple minded, that's why they invented the snowboard.
