I need a book to read. HELP ME!!!

EDIT!!! Just a few things to narrow it down! I don't like sci-fi in mah books. Also, no romance, futuristic stuff, or anything like. I like books that take place in modern day. Also, after I read the book, I want to feel accomplished and think about that book for a long time. I also want the book to be epic and not boringz.

Basically a kid named Alex roams the streets with hs gang (or Droogs as they are dubbed) and commit various crimes here and there (violence, rape, grafitti etc). He eventually gets caught and is put into a correctional facility where they "convert" him to non-violent ways. Excellant novel, very hautning especially int his day and age.

Me neither. I usually like books about historical events. I never thought I would like a vampire romance......

You should read some Tom Clancy books like Rainbow Six. Or a really good book is Prey.

I liked the beginning, it made me understand the setting completely, and it showed how miserable life was.

Yes on an island. Anyone who leaves gets shot and killed by the military or get the bomb on their necks detonated.

I enjoyed the Da Vinci code and Angels and Demons a lot. But then i read Deception point and reading to much Dan Brown his stories become VERY predictable. Knew the ending within the the fir quarter of the book.

The Brothers Karamazov is the greatest book I ever read. It's a book of spirtual contemplation, it gives you both sides of spiritual arguments through the characters and leaves you to make your decisions. Crooked Little Vein is a contemporary book I enjoyed a lot. It's a crime thriller and you would probably like it.

The twilight series is based in reality but has a little bit of fantasy in it (vampire and werewolves) but only a little. I suggest Anthem and the Fountainhead both by Ayn Rand. I just started reading the Fountainhead and it seems to be pretty good.

Really? I don't even know anyone else personally who has read it, so I don't know what others think of it. But ya, I think it's a brilliant read. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows how to read.
