Devil in the White City Magic, Murder, and Mayhem by Erik Larson
I highly recommend it. It's more or less about one of America's most famous mass murderes and how he was able to get away with it because of the world fair.

Night watch by Lukyanenko Sergie
It's more of a supernatural thriller. Something I imagine Stephen King would write back in his teens

White Oleander by Janet Fitch
This book is kinda harsh

and lastly To Feel Stuff by Andrea Seigel
It's not erotic or anything. Or rather not erotic as you might think of a book that I'd read. It's pretty funny though

It's got over 400 pages I believe.
And it is very interesting.

It's a work of non fiction which increases my likeness for it. the way larkson makes it all seem like some sorta fantasy is just amazing

I like all the Lord of the rings books but I kind of have a problem with all the movies of them.

All the movies they make from books are so corny because they leave like so many main parts and characters out of the movie that made the books really interesting.

Example: The lord of the rings had many characters in it like Frodo and Gandalf but they forgot tom bombadil out of the movie which I hated because I wanted to see what he would look like in a movie.

The Tipping Point by Malcome Gladwell.
-This is a work of nonfiction analyzing how and why certain things "tip". An example of something tipping would be the drastic drop in crime in NY during the mid-90s. The author explains the different key people/things very well and keeps your attention easily. It's also a quick and easy read. And I have to read it for AP World Geo. so joy =/

But read that if you're interested in the sociology of pop occurances (ignore all the spelling mistakes that have just happened :()

that is moses's reccomendation for the howeverlong it seems fit.
