My favorite book is Tuesdays with Morrie because it is an inspirational book that talks about important lessons in life. When I read this book I learned to live life to the fullest and it made me think "What is really important in life?"

Can you imagine a world where human life expands beyond Earth and into many distant planets? A world where there's not just humans, but advanced robots. A world that is about three millenniums away. Well, my favorite book, The Caves of Steel, by Isaac Asimov explores that world.
ReplyDeleteThe Caves of Steel is about a time in the future when the humans are divided into two groups called Spacers and Earthlings. A Spacer is someone who's colonized another planet besides Earth. When a spacer is murdered by an Earthling, Detective Baley is on the case. With his robot partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, Baley must find the murderer and track him down before it's too late.
The Caves of Steel has suspense, mystery, action, a deep plot, and a love story. What more could you ask for in a book? Do yourself a favor and rush to Borders to buy this book today.
My favorite book has gt to be eragon.It is a story of a young man named Eragon. He is a normal farmboy when one day while hunting he came across An egg.This egg was no ordinary egg though. It was one of the last dragon eggs. Once the egg hatches Eragon is thrust into a world of Danger, Trickery and Magic. This leads into a great story which i think you should read
ReplyDeleteNoah, The book The Caves of Steel seems really good. It seems like i would enjoy it if i read it. If i have time i might read it.
ReplyDeleteA great book that I've read is Inkheart by Cornielia Funke. When maggie was a baby, her father read aloud, and an evil character came right out of the book, and her mother went inside! maggie discovers that him andhis men are trying to destroy all of the books. maggie finds out she has the power to do it to. she has to save her mother.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Caves of Steel seems like it would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteImagine you and your friends are going to a candy shop everyday and one day it totally changed. My favorite book is The Candy Shop War By: Brandon Mull. One day Pigeon, Trevor, Summer , and Nate go to a candy store and there is magical candy that could do anything. The only way you would get the candy is helping Mrs.White everyday in the shop and you'll get a special candy. There is a new candy everday. This is a really good book i think you should read it
ReplyDeleteBy the way RiChGiRl1025 is Cassie Markert
ReplyDeleteJeremy, I enjoyed the book Eragon too! Did you know there were two sequels to Eragon? The two book titles are Eldest, and Brisingr. If you haven't read them, you should check them out. I thought that Brisingr was the best book of the three. I also hope you have time to read The Caves of Steel because it also involves danger, trickery, but not so much magic.
ReplyDeleteJeremy Eragon sounds good. I've heared of the movie before and that sounded good also but what is better book or movie?
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of favorite books but if I had to choose one book I would probably choose the book Blue. I would choose it because it is a great book, its about a boy who wants to be a marlin and turns into one. It is really cool and enjoyable to read.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is Twilight. I enjoyed reading this book because I saw the movie first and then when I read the book it was easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is... well i don't have a favorite book but my favorite series is the Warriors Series. It's about a cat named Firestar who leads his clan through the tough times with the other clans in the forest. It's a good book for people who like challenging chapterbooks
ReplyDeleteJeremey, i saw the movie Eragon and it was a good movie. Maby i should try reaing the book so i can get more into it.
ReplyDeleteTwilight is a twisted love story with lots of action. It's a world where vampires walk among you but you have no idea, until you fall in love with one. Twilight is well-written with lots of descriptive words. This book captivates you the moment you pick it up. Buy twilight today...
ReplyDeleteNoah, if you were selling that book, I would totally buy it! That was awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone! Keep it up! Oh, and 825R8zx8sZbr9Y7Cxq7b_LHA1ojSY2j4Wk0- , who are you? You recommended Blue.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book in the whole world would have to be the book I just read. it was amazing. Its all about the story of Anitas life well her jouior and senior years of high school. It hilarious, touching, and it has the best peoms about her feelings at the times, and her diary entriest. You can really relate of what she says because its about like her hating her parents and she makes a chart showing how anoyying they and and how she aperiates them.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a favorite book I would probably pick the book The Day My Mother Left. It is sad but very good. I reccomend it to everyone. It is about a boy named Jeremy who's mother leaves him his father and his sister for another man. Will she come back in the end? You need to read to find out!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good and interesting book Cassie. Maybe I will read it.
ReplyDeletethe warrior heir is a great book its full of action and fear
ReplyDeleteMichelle - which Michelle are you? Last initial please! Oh, and what is the title of the book that you're recommending?
ReplyDeleteOh, and which Nick recommended the Warrior Heir?
ReplyDeletemy favrit book is scary store 1,2,and3
ReplyDeleteI love the Warriors series its so awsome! Its about cats who live in Clans and fight for the forest against each other. It has some sad parts but has lots of action and some important life lessons. It has alot of mythology and tribe-like characteristics too. You get hooked on reading all 23 books and field guides. The series is very well written and exciting! You should try it! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicky that Warriors is awesome!!
ReplyDeletehey Elise who was the author of your book? I also have a book thats inspirational and makes you think that life is pretty short and you have to live it to the fullest. its alled the time travelers wife but it also shows that love over comes time and all the struggles if you work at it i do suggest this book to serious readers.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Maximum Ride by James Patterson.
ReplyDeleteAmanda i would like to read your book that you recomended it sounds good and interesting!=]
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Maximum Ride like i said,but its my favorite beacause it has lots and action and keeps you wanting to read it and not stop.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is actually a comic. It is "Peanuts" by Charles Shultz. I think that people should read it because it is very funny.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of books in a lot of different genres, but I have to say, my favorite book right now is a book that not many people know. It's called "Witch Child" and it's by Celia Rees.
ReplyDeleteWitch Child is about a girl named Mary growing up in the 1600s in England. Her grandmother, the town healer, is accused of being a witch. Her grandmother is convicted, and for Mary's safety, she is put on a ship to America with Puritans who were seeking religious freedom. During the journey, Mary keeps a journal and soon finds out that she herself is a witch. In America, she settles in a town called Beulah with the Puritans. This doesn't last long. Soon Mary is convicted of witchcraft and forced to flee the town.
Witch Child is an exciting, creepy, interesting book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Everyone who likes a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat should read this book.
I love Maximum Ride too!
ReplyDeleteMichaela, I really liked Inkheart, too. Shannon, that was a really good description I would totally buy the book if you were selling it. Also, Heather, I read Maximum Ride, too. I thought it was really good. Did you read the whole series?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite series is The Lightning Theif. It is all about Greek mythology and it has alot of action in it
ReplyDeleteNicky, I'll have to try the warriors because I hear alot of good things about it. Thanks for talking about it
ReplyDeleteHi! I liked Inkheart, too. What was your favorite part?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is "Sandstorm Brewer" because of everything that happens to the main character, Forest Williams. First, when Forest is a baby, her parents went off to war and never returned. Forest and her older brother, Jay Williams, are forced out of their home, and get transported to the desert. Jay discovers an ancient temple, home of the Sand Master, Illiut. Illiut was trapped in the temple for years, so when he finally sees light and other people, he is overwhelmed. Jay and Forest don't know the desert as well as Illiut, so he offers to help them as a reward. During their journey, Jay meets a talking vulture, Mintar. Forest finds out that she has a heart defect because she continuously faints for no reason. And the biggest shocker of all- Illiut is over SIX HUNDRED years old!! In the end... OOPS!!! I don't want to spoil a good ending!!
ReplyDeleteMichela i think the book Inkheart I would really like to read it seems very interesting. If you were selling that book I would defintly buy it. Do you think that book would be in the riverhead free libery or the school libery if you can, pleaase tell me i am dieing to read that book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book ive ever read was Looking For Alaska. Its about boy named Miles and his now about to go to boarding school for the first time ever. The reason his going is because Francois Rabelais' last words were "I go to seek a Great Perhaps" , Which explains why his going. He met some new friends and he fell inlove with one of the girls, Her name is Alaska Young and Lets just say some bad things happen.
