January 11, 200719 yr The Darktower - Stephen King. Good book, tonnes of critical responses and he's american. I'm also guessing since you're in school 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and books of that nature won't interest you much. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

January 11, 200719 yr Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird At least I hope that fits the bill. My most favourite book. whoa I forgot about that. Very good book there.
January 11, 200719 yr the author had to be from america :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
January 11, 200719 yr Ray Bradbury is an American writer. I have just read Something wicked this way comes. It is an awesome book, with excellent themes. Another book would be the Dandelion Wine. Its set in the same location, and has a similar theme to the other book, but many other different themes as well. BTW, Something wicked this way comes is the only one i read, i just researched the other book. Something wicked this way comes is about two boys, a father, and an evil soul stealing carnival. Dandelion Wine is a great read. I would recommend it, and Lionheart's recommendation sounds good too. If you like Science Fiction or fantast, read Dune and Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. you know there is a place called outside, better graphics 100% pvp and no fee to play :-w

Barron I fantasy [cabbage]. Never read the Dark is Rising, but i can vouch for all those books. In my opinino though... you should go with the Grandmaster of Science Fiction: Issac Asimov and the Foundation series. (All his other books are good too! :XD: ) Which FF Character Are You?"The only tyrant i accept in this world is the still voice within." - Mahatma Gandhi
January 11, 200719 yr try the beats (beatnik movement in the 60's)... kerouac, ginsberg, fante, etc... or edgar alan poe, emily [bleep]inson, tenessee williams, flanery o'connor(short stories) or hemingway, paul auster, anne rice, stephen king, hawthorne and thoureau (i dont like them, lol) or poetry books: sylvia plath, modern poets(lots of good african- americans) sry i listed too many, but im a literature teacher...
January 13, 200719 yr I'm also guessing since you're in school 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and books of that nature won't interest you much. Why does being in school mean someone wont be interested in a literary classic? Isn't school the place where the writers of future classics should be falling in love with literature? Otherwise, what are our grandchildren going to read, 2000AD annuals? Why is 'common sense' so named, when there is so little of it about?Welcome to puberty, we've been expecting you.

Barron I fantasy [cabbage]. Half of those aren't American authors. -.- And it's still too bad you can't do foreign authors, especially Russian. I mean Nabokov is amazing, and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is wonderful, though it can drag on at some points. Me doing staff.

Barron I fantasy [cabbage]. k, i agree wit all of the above, but not the dark is rising and the lost years of merlin. i'm not even sure if they r all americans... Bleach series - Tite Kubo pretty sure THATS a japanese person and i don't think his english teacher would be to happy wit him writing about a manga book... :-w ...but bleach is a really good manga btw...
January 13, 200719 yr I recommend Catch 22. It's fairly recent, very funny, and is respected so has literary criticism. For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.
January 13, 200719 yr I recommend Catch 22. It's fairly recent, very funny, and is respected so has literary criticism. Have you read the other Heller book I mentioned, Something Happened? If you liked Catch 22, you will probably like this one too. Just stick with it till the end.

I mean Nabokov is amazing, and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is wonderful, though it can drag on at some points. Alexander Dumas's(I hate that censor ) works cannot be matched though, The Count of Monte Cristo is a pure work of art, and the Three Musketeers is an absolute classic. Even if they didn't exist, there would be Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the Sherlock Holmes series of books. ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~
January 13, 200719 yr John Steinbeck: East of Eden and the Grapes of Wrath. I didn't think of Steinbeck, but now you mention it: "Of Mice And Men" is a good book to write an essay on. There's alot to say about it. I feel that restricting you to American authors is a bad move. There are many other great authors in other parts of the world. Perhaps asking your teacher if you can read a book by an author from outside America, would make it a little easier. If they say yes, William Golding's "Lord Of The Flies" is a great choice. Thinking about the reasoning for picking an American author, I think I now know why they restricted it to Americans. Different spellings. When you quote something and say it had the word "colour" in it, you might have the urge to spell it color. I would think if you must do an American book, "Of Mice And Men" is a great book. For some information on the author? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steinbeck Photos!

For some information on the author? Actually it's probably just an American literature class. All the junior classes in my state have to do American history tied with literature in their Junior year. Color/colour has nothing to do with it. Gamertag: King Arizona

January 13, 200719 yr I don't know what nationality most of the authors i read are, but Ray Bradbury was mentioned earlier on, and i just read farenheit 451 in like 3-4 hours, great book, interesting themes, should be good to do a report on it.

January 13, 200719 yr eragon and eldest? or the cry of the icemark and blade of fire click my sig for my blog!!!Thanks everyone for the sigs they pwn!No. Why should i give presents for someone in rs?Most selfish thing I've ever heard
January 13, 200719 yr I'd say Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (my favourite book). [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.
January 13, 200719 yr I'd say Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (my favourite book). But does the author have more then one book? He needs to read two books from the same author.
