okay im extremely picky about the books i read..they have to capture my attention by the second page :) & its really difficult to find something interesting thats not about vampires! help?

Have you tried Maximum Ride by James Patterson? It's a really good series and totally not about vampires. It pretty much a group of kids that are 98% human and 2% avian. You should really try it. Plus the chapters are at most 2-3 pages but the books look thick.

Some of my favourites are "Stravaganza: City of Masks" by Mary Hoffman (series, book 1)
and "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder.

i had to read the "kite runner" by khaled hosseini this summer for my ap class and i loved it. its a sad book but really good. i liked it so much i actually i just started reading another book by the author called "a thousand splendid suns". so far i havent been disappointed.
another book, well a play really, is "a streetcar named desire" by tennessee williams. that is really good too.
"murder on the orient express" and "and then there were none" are really good books from agatha christie.
and anything by jane austen.
i like to read, in case you havent noticed. aha.

you should reads thirteen reasons why by jay asher. that book speaks so much to me.
