Merry's Matching Manuscripts [Have you read this book?]

Wow I love it!

Haven't read it. xD

I just finished Talent. It was OK. Not really my style. They were too dramatic. I was reading it last night. xD

The Penderwicks is SUCH a cute and fun series - I have read both and thought they were a really fun and quick read - made me want to go out and have some adventures

Also, I've read Talent, and the second, Almost Famous. Both were pretty good, a nice poolside book, but not very deep.

Updated. I'm now reading The Westing Game.

Ooh, the Westing Game, that's a good book.

Thanks Ratty!

I LOVE the Westing Game Its awesome.

I read it when I was younger - The Westing Game - and didn't really like it. xD I might think differently if I read it now, though.

Updated!

I haven't read Double Identity. xD

It was good! You should read it!

What's it about?

I like freaky books XD.
You've got great taste.

I. Loved. That. Book! I read it in fifth grade, but it's fantastic! I can't believe I haven't re-read it! Omg!

xD Lol, wow . . . that's about when I read it, too! Fifth or sixth grade . . . *TWINS!* Lol, maybe I should reread it. xD Just for the sake of possibly enjoying it now.

I loved it.

OMG... I read it in fifth grade too! Triplets!

Can I make a few reccomendations for this?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series, which includes:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Surprisingly enough!)
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams
Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams
And Another Thing... by Eoin Colfer

(If you're wondering why the last in the series is by a different author, Douglas Adams had always intended to write a sixth but died before he got the chance. He left it up to his widow to decide who will write the continuation, and thank goodness his widow chose Eoin Colfer)

Also of interest:
Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
The Long and Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
I Am America (And So Can You) by Stephen Colbert
Pretty much anything by David Sedaris
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Dune by Frank Herbert (Sequels didn't amount to much, though)
Gregor the Overlander (and all four of its sequels) by Suzanne Collins

And why not try my novella To Flee or Not to Be?

Ooh, I love Hitchhiker, I'm rereading Mostly Harmless right now. There's a sixth? Ooh... *rushes to library website*

Gregor the Overlander? My little brother loves those! They don't look too bad to me, either, judging just by the length. xD

GtO is a series with a solid, interesting plot, well developed characters and firm narration.
