The old man and the Sea

Though it may not seem like it,

It's a must-read. Well why? you'd think. It's not that long. It's easy to read. The story is amazing. It's... artistic! An old sailor goes to fish and finds the biggest fish ever. Then ensues a long fight inbetween man and fish. The man wins, but regrets to have killed the fish, then dies himself when he returns to land. I very suggest you read that book. I loved it!!!

It's not that philosophic!!!

Wonderboy

It's a book. Well, you already know that! It's one of my favorites. I devoured it in 2 days. So simply, Fiona Gibson wrote a wonderful story. It's funny, it's awesome!!
It's about this boy, Tod, his mother is the narrator. The family moves to a little village and first, it's really weird. But then, a lot of funny things happen. Everything is good. Until the mother discovers that her husband, Marcus, cheated on her. And, mostly, while she was pregnant of Tod! The worst thing is, that he had another daughter in that time. So the mother breaks up with her husband and ummm... Everything's back to 'normal'.

A really good book for summer reading. Not a chef d'oeuvre, though.

Life of Pi

It's about a boy that is on a boat. He's on the boat with a lot of animals. *Why, Oh MY GOSH! * you'll be asking. It's cause he owns a zoo, with his parents. But then the boat sinks and he finds himself on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker. He's also with a tiger, a hyena and an orangutang named Orange Juice, but the tiger kills them all. By some sort of luck, shall I say, he becomes friends with the tiger. The most exciting part of the book is when they end up on an island that is awesome during the day, but that during the night has an acid ground and kills people and meerkats. He flees the island to finally be saved, but nobody believes him.

This IS on my favorite books list. I absolutely love it! You must read it, because it's the most awesome book ever.

I'm not telling a lot; I know. Just read it - and it'll also be in you top 5 list. Maybe even in 1st place!
