The two books i adore is the series of unfortunate events. It's about three children who's parents where killed in a fire, and in their parents will, they have been left a huge fortune. But a greedy man wants to steal the fortune for himself and so in a 13 book journey, lots of unfortunate events happen that ruins their lives. Its not a happy book or one that has happy endings like most, but it can be amusing at some points, but i recommend it for 12+, since a few murders are involved. They where wrote by Daniel Handler, but his name he write's on the books is 'Lemony Snicket'
The next one is harry potter. Many people do not read the books because they are so long, but where would you think the film came from? I actually prefer the book's to the film, since the film leaves out allot of good scenes.
I love to read autobiographies. The ones i have read are mostly comedians, for example, i have read- David Walliams, Mirinda heart, Dawn french. People like that. They are for adults but i like to read about the people i see on telly.
