If you have teens: what are your voracious readers reading?

[Guest]

Looking for Christmas gift ideas. :) Especially the 14-16 age range.

[SailorMom]

Hunger Games series

Harry Potter (still re-reading them :) )

Mark Twain books

the 3 Eragon books (Inheritance Series?)

Ray Bradbury

Non-Fiction Survival type books (for example - climbing Everest)

[Jenny in Florida]

My son loves the Ranger's Apprentice series, which might be a little on the young side for your requested age group. There is a spin-off series, which I don't think he knows exists just yet. I bought him the first of those for Christmas.

 

He also likes the new Riordan series, The Kane Chronicles.

 

My daughter follows the "Nerdfighter" authors: John Green, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, etc. She's also been enjoying Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series. Goliath, the third book, was released recently.

My 16 year old son likes Bernard Cornwall's Saxon series, the Eragon books (I think there are four now, and my ten year old likes these, too, so not challenging reading by any definition), Michael Crichton, and Ender's Game.

Last year I got my oldest the new Everyman's Library edition of Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy and Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham.

[FaithManor]

The newest Christopher Paolini book.

 

Dickens - Oliver Twist

 

Oh, here is something funny. The 14 year old who is studying Art History saw my "Saving Leonardo" on the shelf (author - Nancy Pearcy) and thought it was a biography or something dramatic about Leonardo Da Vinci. Of course, it's a philosophical treatise on art...worldview expressed through art/architecture, etc. Didn't take him long to abandon the book! :lol:

My dd loves Dark Life and Riptide. It is a series. She even wrote the author to see when she was writing more books. She also loves The Bridge to Netherland.
