Choose a good book for a discerning reader.?
Well, my half-brother likes to read, but only if it is a book, he is sure you'll like it. This is logical, but I'm having trouble choosing the right books for him. This is what he loves: (no non-fiction) books revolutionary war Holocaust fantasy books vampire in a little mystery suspense romance Dislikes: witches fairies (unless it is interesting) historical fiction is nothing more feminine He also loves the books as a boy named THEY SAY NO !!!!! TWILIGHT Lee is the 13 on the road. (But mature for his age, if something a little older is perfectly fine.)
What about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak? This is the Holocaust and World War II. In addition, the Green Paper Cities John is a mystery / suspense / novella / realistic fiction. It is very very good and really makes you think.
