Question for avid readers..?
I just wanted to know some really good novels. I have the hardest time picking out a novel because I either
a. either judge a book by its cover or
b think that the synopsis sounds good and go home to a really horrible book.
I’m a sophomore in High school but I enjoy reading higher level than teeny-bopper books (make sense?) I’ll give you a list of some of my favorite books and if you would please give me some suggestions? I don’t really have a favorite genre, because I’m open to many books but i absolutely do not like Science Fiction. Thanks!

1. The Green Mile by Stephen King
2. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
3. The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
4. The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Neffeneger
5. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philipa Gregory
6. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
7. Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen
8. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

thats really all i can think of but there are so many more! Your help is appreciated : )

You may try some John Irving books, Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany, etc. You may also want to read some Margaret Atwood. These authors write books with adult material that some readers may find offensive, but their books are generally considered to be well-crafted.

Was I underestimated because I'm a minority?
I worked the week-end shift as a security guard for the past two years at the most prestigious condominium apartment building downtown. The who is who of the city and a few sport figures live here. It is a small building so it was easy for me to get to know the owners of the various condominiums. The people would speak to me as they passed the front desk during the summer since I started working there two years ago. I can remember this one woman in particular who is a young doctor. She would always arrive back Friday nights very late in very suggestive clothing, she would say hi as she passed and walk in a suggestive manner but only to tease me. Recently she saw me at the medical school library doing research and found out I’m a first year med student. She no longer speaks to me. She just stares at me like I’m some type of alien. I speak and she will not return the greeting. When I think in retrospect I feel insulted because it has given me the impression that she used to speak to me when she was under the impression that I was beneath her because 1. I am a minority. 2. she thought I was a "menial" security guard. This is not the first time this has happened to me either. I begin to wonder am I perpetually underestimated because I’m a minority? Then when some people find otherwise they no longer are cordial with me. It was the same thing when I went to pick up my last pay cheque. The same people who used to smile and speak to me looked at me in a weird way. Even when I’m out on town these white women wont talk to me, but as soon as I say med student they turn around and talk. One woman openly disregarded me until a colleague walked up to me and asked a question, she turned around and asked me would i like to go on a date, I couldn’t believe it. I am puzzled. I don’t understand.
