You should read Looking for Alaska, or An Abundance of Katherines. They’re both by John Green, a current young adult author. Looking for Alaska won the Gold Printz Award, and An Abundance of Katherines won the Silver Printz Award. He is also in the process of publishing a new book, Paper Towns, which I think hits bookshelves in October.

No Tolkien or CS Lewis?

By: K. GREEN on May 7, 2008

Nope, unfortunately, no Tolkein. I’ve read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but that’s about the extent of my C.S. Lewis.

I have trouble getting into fantasy, but then I don’t know how to explain reading Harry Potter. I guess a little fantasy is okay as long as it’s grounded in reality. Generally, I’m not much for hobbits, fairies, make-believe Kingdoms, etc…
Guess it’s just personal preference.

On your young adult book list it only says The Amber Spyglass. Did you not read the first two of the series?

By: Kat on June 1, 2008
at 8:27 pm

Kat:
No, I only read The Amber Spyglass. Since it was way out of order, I had trouble (just a tad) of piecing together what was going on and alas, I never picked up the first two. Maybe one day.

By: T Y on June 1, 2008
at 9:58 pm

Yes, it can get vey confusing without knowing what was going on before. And if you have the time, I thought the books were definatly worth my time.

By: Kat on June 2, 2008
at 9:02 pm

Wow, that’s an incredibly detailed list. In 9th grade I started keeping track of all the books I was reading, mostly because I could never remember titles of book I read in the past, but this is really impressive. =) Its really cool how you split everything up into categories.
