What kind of books did your parents have when you were a child?
Q. What kind of books did your parents have in your house as you were growing up? Not books for you, but books for them... See, as i was growing up my parents had books on the theory of alien civilizations & extraterrestrial research, amongst other things such as psychology books & books on unexplained phenomenons. Today I am very interested in these things, especially the alien stuff. As my mum was growing up her mum had a lot of books about the workings of the brain & a lot of encyclopedias & today she is very stuff like that. From this i saw a pattern. How about you? Do your current interests stem from the books you grew up around as a child?

What books do you recommend to learn about world religions?
Q. I am interested in learning more about Paganism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. Books about other religions are perfect too, but I want to read books that contain legit information. Also, books about the different denominations are good, but really, I'd like to read just any legit book on religion. If you're going to tell me to read the Bible, don't bother, I've already read it!

A. For Hinduism, I would say: "Complete Idiot's Guide to Hinduism" by Linda Johnsen. It is very nicely written.

What books can you reccommend to someone who likes the Twilight series?
Q. The books don't have to be about vampires, I actually would prefer them not to be about vampires. But what books could you also recommend for a 13-year old who reads very fast (I finished Twilight in 2 days) and has great punctuation?
Asked by summerboy.<3 - Sun Nov 30 13:19:07 2008 - - 20 Answers - 0 Comments

A. My first recomendation is The Host by the same author, Stephanie Meyer. It's sold as a novel for adults but a 13 year old will have no problem reading it. It's just longer than Twilight but that's a good thing. I think it has even more emotional impact that the Twilight series. I also recomend the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. The first book is The Golden Compass. If you haven't seen the Twilight movie yet, definitely see it. I think it's one of the best out there in terms of movies based on books and staying true to the book. They did a really fantastic work with this one.

What are some good chapter books for an upper elementary book club?
Q. I'd like chapter books that are in paperback and are age-appropriate for 3rd-6th graders. Cussing and sexual content should be kept to a minimum if at all. Classics are probably out of the question b/c I don't want to step on the toes of teachers. So far I've got The Secret Apartment, The Landry News, The War with Grandpa, and The Watsons Go to Birmingham. If you're a middle schooler who has some books you really like(d), I'd love your opinion. Same thing for parents and book lovers in general. :) Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions so far. I've thought about series books as many of you have mentioned, but these are books kids read already. I'd like for the books to be ones they might not normally select on their own.
