Please Recommend Me a Good Easy Book
Okay, so I'm taking AP Comp this junior year, and being the dilatory slacker I am - I'm barely halfway through the first book, and it's been a month and a week since vacation started.
"Oh but you still got a couple of weeks of summer!" Yes, that is true, however I still have two more books to go through. And there's also an essay, and a 20 slide powerpoint to through it.
Even though I'm Asian, my work ethic isn't overall that great. And my third book is determined by personal choice - which is why I need your help. I don't read books at all unless it's academic related, so I don't know any good books(besides light novels, but I'm not sure if the teacher will ever take me serious if I read Spice and Wolf or something like that).
Now it needs to be 200+ pages, but I'm looking for books around the 200-300 area. I don't like intensive vocabulary choices, so try to keep it low. Sci-Fi/Fiction books are my taste, but they don't HAVE to be fiction and etc. Of course, this book still has to be around a high school Junior - Freshman college level book.
Anyways, thank you so much for helping me! I'm desperate at this situation haha

My brother read The kite Runner in high school but i read it somewhere in junior high. I dont know, i loved it.
the running man.
50 Shades of Gray Trilogy. I know it's 500+ pages altogether, but it's a good read.
If you don't like that, try the following:
- The Hobbit
- Joyland
If you really want easy books:
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- Nicholas Sparks books, lol
Atlas Shrugged
[quote=Ness]Ender's Game.
Brave New World.[/quote]
[quote=Zyanid]The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, assuming it isn't one of your assigned books.
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. - sci-fi.
1984 by George Orwell or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, both dystopian/sci-fi.
You can be adventurous and try some absurdist fiction like The Trial by Franz Kafka or The Stranger by Albert Camus.[/quote]
DingDingDing, I think I'm gonna take 'Brave New World' as my third book most likely. It's 288 pages long, but hell an essay about psychological manipulation, or other subjects the book has to offer shouldn't be too bad. Thank you guys so much!

Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey is a good, easy read
childhood's end by arthur c. clarke. supposedly it influence EVA a whole lot.
I'd go with @Ness 's recommendations
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Lolita

Ender's Game.
Brave New World.
