not scientific?? hahah id fill my text box for this, theres just so many. but anyways what are your interests? fiction? love stories? history? vampire stories? ;p since i dont know what in particular that you like. id just cite some of the books that i have recently finished reading. that might probably interest you.
1.) Greek Mythology (its nice to be educated about greek stuff, and its quite entertaining too, considering how weird and absurd the stories can end up, for example when Zeus turned into an animal, made himself invisible and raped a beautiful maiden. haha what the heck. Zeus can be such a bad god sometimes thats why he has so many half human half god kids like percy jackson ;p)
2.Lovely Bones--i like this one because its unconventional. theres already a movie for this. but i wanted to read the details myself. its a suspense thriller kind of book.
3. The World at End by Ken Follet- This was one of the most heavy and dramatic books i have ever read ever. so many things happened in one fat book. but i tell you, once you start reading this one, you wont be able to stop. anyways its set in medieval times, so if you like castles, butchers, death through beheading, kings, queens, knights and maidens. Youd probably love this. i know i did ;P

4. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle- how can i begin with this, from all of the books that i have read (not to mention there were many), this one was the MOST that i have ever cried haha i know pathetic. but if you love dogs, id bet one million youd most definitely shed a tear for this haha (kidding i dont have a million) so anyways this book was one of OPRAH BOOK CLUB's choices. Oprah was raving about this book just like i did. so if you do have the time. go read this one first. and read it with a HEART. hehe
