《魔戒》《战争与和平》英文版都看

Actually, The Lord of the Rings' reading level is about between 8 and 9, which means an eighth grader should be able to understand it. Tolstroy's writing is pretty complicated though. Anyway, the two books have a common element-complexity. LOTR gives many acounts of Tolkien's seconary world-the Middle Earth. There's much 'history' of middle earth involved in the books, which many reader will find 'hard ot deal with'. But, if you're truly interested in the book, you shouldn't be bored with those accounts. (actually, Tolkien's other masterpiece, the Silmarillion, gives a way more complicated history of the 1st age of middle earth) Tolstroy's War and Peace gives a long and different perspective of Napoleonic Wars from the Russian point of view. It should certainly be considered complex. It contains more than 500 characters and over 1000 pages with tiny prints... But, it is a must read if you're interested in literture. Russian writers of 19th century had a way different writing style than writers from other parts of the world. Other than War and Peace, Crime and Punishment is also a good book. (whose the author again? I think it's D something sky, lol)

Yeah, Salvadore's Dark Elf Trilogy is really neat. Also, you should try Icewind Dale Trilogy if you like the Dark Elf Trilogy. Of course, you must like fantasy first place in order to like either trilogies.

就是说! 读书只有好处没有坏处..就算读HARRY POTTER也能提高阅读水平!(但我的写作还是很烂T_T)-_-但是....当你的家长一天到晚逼你去买书读的时候..就有点痛苦了..因为我只想玩PS2..哈哈^-^;;;;;;

CLIVE CUSSIER的书爆好看的!
AGATHA CHRISTIE和SHERLOCK HOLMES也写了不少好书~
还有那个VLADIMMIR VLADIMIROVICH NABOKOW写的[LOLITA]. 虽然没有机会读,但据说也是不错的..

Actually, what happened was that my mother became mad at me for my lavish spending on books. She thought that buying books is pointless since they can be borrowed easily. I guess I just have a very bad hobby of collecting books~~~

Some parents are just nuts in mind, I suppose...
Limiting one's reading time is like to forbid one to take dinner, for reading is the key in the gaining of knowledge which is the base for survival in this competitive world. Without the gaining of knowledge, there is nothing left to enjoy, is it? Although novals may seem "common" and "un-scholaristic" to some close-minded and old-fashioned (especially Chinese) parents, but truly some of the greatest work ever written are in the form of fictional novals. At least by reading novals one can gain other people's point of view upon the world, and truly it would be great to know that for it will re-establish one's own indivisualism by learning the differences between people. The vivid imagination and creativity of other people may be a key to develop one's own.
