Hello, my name is Aaron Bacon. Welcome to my reading blog.
I have read and enjoyed many different types of books, from non-fiction to Sci-fi, the Harry Potter series to Stephen King. I like each one for a different reason, and each book I read has something special. Some are suspenseful, others funny, some are sad, and some of the books require some extra thought to the meaning of the book; or a message the writer is trying to send. But out of all this, these are my favorite books:
Many of These books have been turned into movies, so I posted the trailers to give you a better Idea of what the book is about. But some of the trailers have graphic content, so please watch cautiously. Trailers with graphic content are marked.
10. Sphere - Michael Crichton Viewer discretion is advised
9. Jurassic park - Michael Crichton Viewer discretion is advised
8. Angels and Demons - Dan Brown Viewer Discretion is advised
7. Between Shades of Grey
6. Animal Farm
5. The life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
4. The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton
This is a great book. It's about a teenage boy who finds himself on a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific with a Bengal Tiger. While this book is gripping, it also deals with tragedy, survival and reality. Enough said.
2. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
This book is well written, has a great story, and really makes you think; about government, censorship, and well... the importance of literature.
1. The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak Viewer discretion is advised
This book is truly incredible. From the story, to the writing, it's just great. It's about a girl in Nazi Germany during WWII, who, while dealing with great loss, must move to a new home, and come face to face with oppression - and death. Just read this book.
Very cool! I would like to read the book thief sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteAaron,
ReplyDeleteGreat introduction and selection of books. A couple on your list others have not mentioned that I love are Life of Pi, Angel and Demons and Fahrenheit 451. Three totally different book genres and all are amazing. Looking forward to reading The Book Thief.
Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI love the wide range of books you selected. It seems that everyone in the class could find something they would enjoy. I have been on the fence about reading Jurassic Park, but I'll at it to my "to be read" list, along with a couple other you mentioned.

the book thief is fantastic and very sad. i found myself in tears at the end.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a great list. I love all the visuals. "Animal Farm" is on my to read list now, it seems very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWow nice blog Aaron, good idea with the trailers. Animal Farm, Book Thief, Jurrasic Park and between shades of gray are some of my favorites also. Fahrenheit 451 sounds like a good book. Thanks
