purrtypwincess Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have been collecting books all my life, and I am glad that there are topics like this here, specially that I'm just a newbie and have seen the not-so-wholesome ones. Anyhoo, I've had a recent inkling for young adult fiction. Seriously, some of the best authors could be found in that section (like J. K. Rowling). The most recent one I've read is "The Alchemyst" by Michael Scott. This is different from Paulo Coelho's like a lot mistake it for. The author managed to weave in history (sometimes myth) into the simple story of good versus evil, from the Greek Gods, to the Philosopher's Stone to the more recent San Francisco buildings and establishments. What's more, another book just came out in that series, "The Magician", which involves the infamous Machiavelli as one of its main characters. And like any bestselling book you can't get enough of, it's sold out everywhere. Leave room for more imagination. Quote Link to comment
