What do you think Folks? What is the Best Book You Ever Read? My problem is, I can't decide. I think I may have to go with To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I love the idea of those kids trying to get Boo Radley to come out of his house and everything she has to say about how we should treat other people. Have any of you read this book?

the best book I've ever read was Swallowing Stones. I thought this book was really good because it kept me guessing throughout. I could never predict what was going to happen next.

Writing about the best book I have ever read is an impossible feat for me. I'm a very avid reader, and have been since a few weeks before Kindergarden. I've read way too many amazing books and series for me to choose only one. The best I could hope to do is list some of the best I've ever read; ones that I remember very well.
First is Twilight. Twilight is a series that I couldn't put down. Filled with humor, irony, romance, action, a bit of the supernatural, and some blood. It was an amazing series, and I can only hope that Meyers writes more books, and soon.
Another great series is Artemis Fowl. I was intrigued how Artemis turned out to be the bad guy when I first read it. This series kept me guessing from the beginning, and even after reading it 3 times, I still enjoy reading each of the books. It mixes science fiction, magic, and reality in a way that really lets you wonder about what xould be out there.
The Summoning, a book by Kelley Armstrong, is the first book of a trilogy called Darkest Powers. It's a book that begins with a normal girl, who lives a normal life. Only, she can see ghosts. When she is put in a suspicious mental institutuion with some other students, things really get crazy. Somehow, this book is one you can really relate to.Although only the first book is out, the second is to be realeased soon. I'm waiting eagerly for the next installment!
If you haven't already noticed, I have a preference for realistic stories about the supernatural. This one is no exception. The Chronicles of Vladmir Todd starts off seeming like a younger age group, maybe 7th or 8th grade. It's about a kid named Vlad, who has to deal with being a vampire. It starts in 8th grade, but as the series progresses, it gets more mature and serious. It's a series that manages to be serious, funny, gripping, excellent, and fun to read. I am counting the days until the next book comes out. (I've heard that the author plans to follow Vlad to 12th grade, and maybe make him destroy the human race. I can't wait! XD )
Anyways, those would probably be my first thoughts when I try to think of a good series. Remember, this is only my opinion, so if you don't like them, please don't blame me. I could go on to name more series, but I don't have enough time, and anyways, I'm pretty sure it would take up a lot of space. Sorry for making my comment so long, but I'm ending it now. Seriously. End of comment. No more.
Oh, but be sure to at least try to find a good book. Okay, now I'm leaving.

Wow Jordan! Thanks for the post! Let me know what books you'd like to see in the library, I'm always on the look out!

The best book I ever read was Twilight. It was the best book because in it Edward was always saving Bella from near death experiences. I love vampire books! I can't wait to read New Moon!

Well... I don't read all that much, but there are a few books that I can say are my favorite. One being -Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie- This book was amazing because it showed the development of a brotherhood relationship. And another is -Warrior Heir- This is one of the longest books I've ever read, but I read it in all one night. I sat, at my friend’s house, six hour strait reading. I really couldn't put it down. The end of each chapter pushed me into the next, and I found myself lost in the world of a young warrior named Jack. There were so many unexpected twists in the story. It was really an amazing book. Or, I thought so anyway.
The best book I have ever read is Ball Don't Lie. It teaches important lessons throughout the book and talks about real life situations. The main character is a high school basketball player, which I could connect to, making the story more enjoyable.
-Keegan Donovan
The best book I every read was Tears of a Tiger. It was a good book because it is about a boy that was drunk and killed his friend and what he went through. I could never put the book down and I am not a reader.

i have to say that the best book that ive ever read is..... "no right turn." im reading it right now and i like it a lot. im not finished with it yet but im almost done and its a really good book. it keeps you guessing and your never sure whats going to happen next.
~Levi George
I, like Jordan L., have been an avid reader all my life.
Anyway, my favorite books are The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Lost Years of Merlin saga, The Tales of Guinevere series, Stravaganza the trilogy, A Series of Unfortunate Events, (all thirteen books, plus the author's autobiography,)the Redwall books and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
Most of these are books that I checked out of the middle/high school library this year. Our library has so many good books to choose from, I don't even know what to read sometimes! If you find yourself with extra time on your hands and you have no idea what to do to keep yourself from boredom, you should definitely check out the library. I am confident that you will find a book that you will enjoy reading. If you have trouble finding a book that you would like to read, talk to Mrs. Codner. She can help you get the book that you would like.
The Lord of the Rings books are my favorite because of the high action and complex plot of the story. The book that starts the trilogy, The Hobbit, is also a very good read, and gives you information you need to know before reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I would have to say that book 2, The Two Towers, is definitely my favorite out of all three. The Ents, shepherds of the trees of Fangorn Forest, the oldest wood in Middle Earth, are my favorite characters. They show their amazing strength when they attack....Well, I wouldn't want to spoil that part for you. Anyway, that is why The Lord of the Rings are my absolute favorite.

This is a toughie, I've read a lot of good books....but if I was forced to choose like I am right now, I would have to say the best book I've ever read in my fourteen years of living on Earth would have to be Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. I read this book, and I couldn't put it down! The chapters are really short, but each one ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger leaving the reader (me) compelled to continue. I've always loved science fiction/fantasy themed books, and the Maximum Ride book series introduced me to my love for anything to do with science fiction.
Other books I really like are:
Stargirl (which I recently read for lit circles in English class) by Jerry Spinelli, the Harry Potter series, the City Of Ember series, and many more.
Jordan... even though I said that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is the best book I ever read, "The Lord of the Rings" is the best three books I ever read... I reread them ever few years. Thank you for your post! Alen... I loved "Maximum Ride" also. I read that book in one day while watching my kids swim at the lake... they could have drowned for all I cared, I was that absorbed in that book. Both of you, be sure to get your hot chocolate!!
The best book I ever read is probably the book I am reading now. The book is called King Dork and its probably one of my favorites. Its about a kid who's kind of a dork with a lot of embarrasing nick names that all have a different meaning. He and his friend are in a band together trying to find a drummer and they come up with new band names every day. He's also dealing with the loss of his father who no one knows the cause of his death. The high school he goes to is obsessed with this book called cather in the rye and he hates it. His dad was a "Catcher" fan and he believes that all of his dads books have something to do with his dad's death.
~Kyle Gunn
Alen, Kyle, and Jenna... don't forget to get your hot chocolate!
I'm hoping to get some teachers to post about the best books they ever read too!
Cashelmara by Susan Howatch is the best book I ever read. It is a gripping saga of several generations of a Irish family at the turn of the century. Could not put it down for several days. Purely a recreational read. I have favorite books for different reasons, this one just for fun.
Mrs. Spallone
Thank you Mrs. Spallone! Sounds like the sort of thing to read on the couch over vacation!

-TYLER HEWITT-

Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan,
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer,
Crank by Ellen Hopkins,
The Alchemyst by Micheal Scott, The Redwall sereies,
and A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.

I really don't know what the best book that I ever read was. Me, being a read-aholic, has read so many books it's not even funny. One of my favorite books though is Cold Fire by Dean Koontz. As I was reading it, I never wanted to put it down because it was so intruiging, and every chapter brought a new experience.
Markie Ritter
I don't know why I don't read more Dean Koontz. Everything of his that I have read has been great...pretty darn creepy actually!
I don't have one favorite book, I have 3 and those are "You Only Die Twice", "Death Du Jour" and "Men in Black: The Green Saliva Blues" Thes three books are thrilling and keep you on the edge of your seat!
~Crissy Lynn Cornwell
"Paper Towns" is a good book if you like mysteries. It also really makes you think how every little action that you do affects someone else.
Rowena
Wait! I thought of another good one! "Waiting for Normal" by Leslie Connor. It's a story about bouncing back, about loss and about taking care of everything. It's good.
~Rowena
a few of the best books that i ever read are "The Last Apprentice" books by "Joseph Delaney". These books are all about a world that is infested with dark creatures and how a boy named Tom Ward that becomes an apprentice to a spook. A spook is a person that deals with the dark. In each of these books it tells of adventures that the spook and his apprentice go through with all of the danger and excitment. In the first book Tom is just becoming a new apprentice and they go through a whole ordeal with a old witch that came back from old times and causes a hole reck of trouble with Tom's family. The second book tells of an ancient beast called the bane. the spook and tom go into a city that isnt really exceptive of there trade, and that is where the bane is locked up causing all sorts of mistief. The third is all about an old apprentice that is trying to get even more powerful by releasing an antient evil god. The fourth is about a bunch of cuvenents of witches that try to kill the spook and tom to get them out of the way of there evil deeds of trying to release the devil himself. the fith is about tom going to a different spook to touphen tom up. there they get into a whole mess of trouble with a water witch that is the daughter of the davil. The water witch was sent to kill tom because he is the biggest threat to the dark. While that is going on the devil is out in the world making it even worse for tom and his new master.
... i just finished reading this awesomely awesome series called the Series of Pellinor. It was absloutley amazing... well, if you like magick and all that happy stuff. the books, from first to last, is "The Naming", "The Riddle" and "The Crow". Alison Croggon has yet to write the last book, but when she does, she will title it "The Singing" and it is supposed to be the fourth and final book of the series...
