Zombie Survivla Guide by: Max Brooks

This book starts out very funny and it is, up until your realize Max Brooks is serious. Then it gets weird and a little pathetic. It seems Brooks considers zombies an honest threat to humanity. I would say you should read this for at least some laughs, and if nothing else you'll learn to how to survive the (highly unlikely) zombie apocalypse.

The Sun Alos Rises by: Ernest Hemingway

The book is about a group of people from the World War I period that are veterans. It takes place in a European setting. The group centrally focuses on characters (many of them) and moral values. A lot can be learned from this book because of the way Ernest Hemingway, such as the way war affects people. (in this case, the main character)

Basilisk by: N.M. Browne

Set in a past revolt world, Donna is a scribe that gets set a special task. Rej, an underworld camber, has come to the surface in search of revenge for a man he hardly knows. The only thing they have in common, they both dream of Basilisks.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Oh my gosh - just fantastic! The story takes place in a sort of alternative universe, in a country called Panem; and the main character is a girl who has to volunteer for this event called The Hunger Games, a death-math between twenty-four kids, 2 Promeach of the twelve Districts that make up Panem. The story involves love, action, fighting, cliffhangers, super-special-awesome plot twists, and everything else that makes up an AMAZING book! 100% recommended; it's very well written and sooo good.

City of Thieves by David Benioff

This book was very entertaining and surprisingly accurate! It gave a great window into the lives of ordinary Russians during World War II. It allows for some very quick reading, while learning quite a bit about that time period. The reader gets to "meet" Red Army soldiers, Wehrmacht troopers, Russian partisans, and even blood-thirsty cannibals! What fun!
