YA fiction? Lol, get off my lawn, classic literature is teh best.
Dominic Williams
Jason Bennett
Oh look, a star wars clone.
Evan Sullivan
did this guy ever write again? or did he cash out his shekels before he was 30?
Owen Parker
My friend recommended me The Power of Five. It seems pretty interesting to me. Is it worth getting invested in?
Josiah Rodriguez
Honestly this might be younger than YA, been ages
Gabriel Moore
I very vaguely remember enjoying the first one when I was 11
Zachary Russell
I actually enjoyed Artemis Fowl as a kid. Read all them except the last one, I think.
James Brown
What does that even mean? I eat up a lot of YA but still would not call any of it kino
Grayson Harris
I did not know he was older than me. 1983, what a twist. Goodreads says maybe

Might sound silly, but what age range is 'Young Adult'?
Jeremiah Nelson
Jaxson Russell
13-25 generally YA drops lots of F bombs but avoids sex. It's less about age range and more about common tropes and writing style
Matthew Lewis
Liked it as a kid but one day it clicked for me that every book is literally a shot-for-shot copy of Star Wars and I suddenly realized the extent of Paolini’s failure. Book one is just Eragon raiding the Death Star, saving Leia, Obi-wan dying, and blowing up the Death Star; book two literally has a “no, he was your father” moment, and then Eragon has to go build his own new lightsaber because he lost his old one, and finally Vader throws the emperor under the bus.
Luckily the Roran subplot was a thing.
Eli Anderson
Huh, ok. I'm 25 and only just starting to really 'read', and I don't exactly want to start at Tolstoy, but I also feel very insecure about my reading choices. I'm reading Pratchett at the moment. It's embarrassing to say, but as he uses a lot of Scottish words, there are quite a few in his books that I don't know, like widdershin.
Welcome friend, to the monomyth.
Nathaniel Butler
Pendragon (MacHale) series was GOAT
Angel Long
>very insecure about my reading choices.
only thing I struggle with is if I should porn books in my good reads or not (what's your input). If you are not showing of to others what you read than anything goes. Don't try to be "cool" on Yea Forums you will waste lots of hours reading dumb garbage and they will call you a pleb if you don't agree with their ratings
>embarrassing to say
Why? Where you born in Scotland?
Ryan Carter
I suppose I'm insecure because it's completely unknown to me. I don't want to end up on Mount Stupid of the Dunning Kreuger effect.
And no, I wasn't, but at the same time when you've got a degree in English and don't know some of the words in a Terry Pratchett book, it does echo back to you how little you know. Perhaps that's intimidating to me. Like, I see TP as a pretty easy starting point, and if there's already unknowns here, how buggered am I?
>only thing I struggle with is if I should porn books in my good reads or not (what's your input)
Nah, I'd keep them separate. Maybe make a separate account for them or something. At least label that they're porny.
Robert Davis
>I don't want to end up on Mount Stupid of the Dunning Kreuger effect.
easy, assume that you are a retard. That way if you are dumb, you are safe and if not you are humble.
>degree in English
my degree is not in English. Do they teach you all variants of English?
>already unknowns here, how buggered am I?
If there are no unknowns that why even read? I mean if there are too many unknowns it can get annoying but reading a book with no surprises is tedious. Generally finding out new information in unexpected places is more fun than in books dedicated to those subjects.
>I'd keep them separate
Why?
>label
for whom?
Parker Williams
awesome books.
Luke Wilson
Nah, but I did study variationism, so I at least have an understanding of why the lexical variation exists. It's just weird, going from research papers where I understand the language, to having to use dictionary tools to understand a Terry Pratchett book. It is, really, humbling.
Regards to the porn books, I assumed you meant this as a recommendation list?
Henry Morris
>I assumed you meant this as a recommendation list?
I mean having them in my goodread catalog, especially if they are bit unorthodox. Friend of mine is an author and I just finished her books but Im not giving my rating because then they would be right next to the porn in my catalog. I plan on reading and rating some other books and once there is a page of distance I will rate hers. Should I say fuck it and just do it, should I remove the pron or what? Im also constantly worried about stuff that will be found after my death, at the same time I want to rate everything I read because for some dumb reason the time invested feels wasted otherwise. same reason why I finish garbage books instead of DNF ing them
Evan Thompson
I remember reading it as a young kid. All I remember are
> burnt toast
> Nazca lines
> old ones
> some rich dude in Hong Kong
Anthony Myers
Tyler Torres
big yikes. picked this book up and was like i totally prefer simon scarrow what is this 80's romaticists nonsense.
Jayden Gray
>Nazca lines
I'm sold.
Carter Garcia
anyone?
Liam Wood
He released a new books a few months ago and he's working on another novel.
Robert Bailey
What's with the ugly covers?
Oliver Kelly
>Eragon
>kino
The standards are quite low these days, I must say.
Blake Garcia
Yeah I remember these :3
Christian Rodriguez
those were such fun to read as a kid
Gavin Torres
I really liked this book when I was young
John Martin
I read the first two when I was quite young but I had grown out of them by the time the third one did, remember enjoying them but can't imagine I'll ever go back and reread them.
Horowitz Anthony Rider books were the shit when I was 11.
Chase Edwards
These are untouchable desu. Perfect YA series. Likable characters, cool action and enemies, fun story, Greek mythology is awesome and it's implemented very well, and a good wholesome romance so you could self insert as the lead when you were a kid and get your own waifu. I didn't keep up with the shit ton the author made afterwards when he started to milk the series to high hell, but I don't need anything but these five really
Gabriel Morris
idk if this is kino, but when i was a kid before i realised i was trans i found this series really interesting because i could relate to some of the stuff to what i didn't yet know as gender dysphoria. it's probably not objectively good, but it does make you think a lot...
this shit was kino af when i was young. it partially inspired my interest in lovecraftian shit.
Jack James
holy fuck I've been having really vivid memories of these lately but couldn't remember the name for the life of me
Isaiah Johnson
when I read lightning thief back in middle school I was completely awestruck with how good I thought it was.
Bentley Walker
I'm just going to dump shit I loved back in the day
Juan Perez
Brody Gray
poppy might be skirting on the edge of YA into children's
Xavier Mitchell
fuck this shit though. even as a dumbass kid I saw through patterson and his hackwork
David Morales
Idk about that series but Westerfield's other YA series is absolutely kinographè of the highest order. Alternate history WW1 with giant mechs vs. genetically modified beasts. Great art too.
Dylan Smith
Ryder Rivera
its kino gold and helped me understand being trans in a certain way
Christopher Clark
Does this one count bros?
Jason King
Did he write one of them for adults? I remember a Maximum Ride book with detailed oral sex scenes in it.
Ayden Wood
Where my underland bros at?
>tfw you will never marry Luxa
Carter White
Both of these are kino
Also cmon guys, does no one reamember darren shan
Angel Williams
ANIMORPHS NIGGA!
Tyler Butler
DELTORA QUEST
Ryder Jones
This guy could never figure out how to finish a story. Stories themselves were great but the twist endings were trash
Jayden Reyes
God these were so good. A shame the Hunger Games took off instead of this and got the movie adaptations, but unfortunately that one had the love triangle and teen melodrama that was the hottest shit during that time thanks to Twilight. Ah well. Ripred the rat is still the realest nigga
Chase Phillips
Ayden Parker
AW FUCK YEAH
Jackson Morris
The thing that ruined the Eragon series for me was that they took too long to come out. Eragon came out when I was in elementary school and I really enjoyed it. Inheritance didn't come out until junior year of high school and I basically found it unreadable. Bought the hardcover and only made it 10% in before I dropped it because the writing was so poor. At least Rowling can write well enough that you can actually read the books as an adult.
Thomas Rivera
Here. I remember Prophecy of Bane being my favorite
Mason Nelson
this shit literally made me cry as a kid. i don't even remember how the story went, i just remember there was no happily ever after and he didn't get the girl and he never went back to rat world
Jonathan Fisher
Nah you pretty much got it right, it has a very melancholy ending, it was about growing up in a way. He basically leaves Underland and Luxa forever and returns to his world. It ends simply with his little sister finally being able to pronounce his name.
Adrian Fisher
this reminded me of pic related. never read it but every chick in my school who did ended up completely insane
Cooper Williams
Such a melancholy ending to a kino series.
John Davis
>He basically leaves Underland and Luxa forever
i wanted him to make luxa his gf and live happily ever after. i self inserted so hard. 10 years later and still no gf
Easton Morgan
Did anyone else find it retarded how right after he realised the root of the problem was that God cut a part of itself off, he then immediately cut part of himself off so that it could live out a normal life?
Adam Clark
The first few were okay, but the quality really started to decline when she included several “uplifting-positivity-antibullying” speeches that just droned on for way longer than they really needed to.
Jace Cruz
Did anyone else read these?
Bentley Cook
Never read any of those
What's with the hate tho?
Spoil at your will
Ryder King
Based. I read all of pic related in middle school.
Jack Bailey
Read a chapter of one of them and you'll see where the hate comes from
Chase Wood
The author was like 16 when he wrote them. It is a fun story, but borrows a lot from his direct influences, plot from Star Wars, world-building from LOTR.
Brody Williams
Jesus, who wrote that shit, a 5th grader?
Ian Wright
Close enough
Jason Barnes
Why do only YAs get to have cool shit like dragons and aliens and adventures? Where was all that in Nietszche?
James Perry
Aiden Sullivan
All I remember is that the main character was literally Jesus.
Eli Campbell
Justin Parker
They are jealous.
Dominic Foster
Hell yes. Shame the movie wasn't great.
Nathaniel Myers
fuck the one with the catacombs got me messed up as a kid
Robert Harris
Has anyone read the nameless one? Is it worth picking up for a fun read?
