Which book to pick? Help!!!!!?

Tomorrow I want to borrow a book from my school library and I dont know which one from the following:

Twelve Ceasars, Anna Karenina, Jane Eyre, The Great Gatsby, Little Women, Ivanhoe, Pride and Prejudice, To kill a mockingbird, The bridge of San Luis Rey



I'd apprecciate your helpWhich book to pick? Help!!!!!?
The Great Gatsby. I think everyone needs to read this book (and, really, to kill a mockingbird), but everything about the Great Gatsby is amazing. Fitzgerald is a wonderful writer that leaves nothing untouched in his stories, and puts a certain element of realism into his writing that only the really good authors can achieve.

Plus, it's an easy read. Once you pick it up, you breeze right through it without noticing the passage of time.Which book to pick? Help!!!!!?
i havent heard of any of those!!
Pick Ivanhoe, its gangster.Which book to pick? Help!!!!!?
The Great Gatsby
pick little women it's really good x] i heard jane eyre is really boringWhich book to pick? Help!!!!!?
If you like romance: Anna Karenina, Jane Eyre

If something good:To kill a mockingbird
Oh wow, ALL of those are great reads. Hmm, I would pick To Kill a Mockingbird though, since a. it's an AMAZING book and b. it's usually part of a school curriculum, so it'd be good to get a jump start!
The Bridge of San Luis Rey. It's a good one.
To Kill a Mocking Bird
To kill A Mockingbird if you want a brilliant coming of age novel, Pride and Prejudice if sharp wit and a good love story, Jane Eyre if Gothic romance and a brooding hero (see moody git) and little women if friendship, tradegy and love is what you are after set during the civil war.
Okay i've read A Walk to Rememeber and out of those I think the easyest to write an easay on would be either pride and predujudice or The bridge of San Luis Rey.
They are all good books. I would love to read Anna Kareninna

again or Jane Eyre. The Great Gatsby is more modern and

shorter. Little Women is historical and interesting.

Ivanhoe is romantic also. I would suggest Jane Eyre as it is

a good portrayal of situations facing young women and

it is very well written and popular. But if you want something

that you can read fast The Great Gatsby, which is about the

Roaring Twenties in New York could be fun...All these books

are interesting depictions of a historical time and people vs.

society and social issues. There is a movie about all of them.
I'd say To Kill a Mockingbird... though all of those are great. It's funny, sweet, and held my interest very well. There are lots of literary symbols and themes in it as well, if you need to write a report on it at any time.
I've heard Anna Karenina is good. I've read the Great Gatsby is really good and an easy read with some great symbols that help tell the story. Little Women is good, I liked it. Ivanhoe is a great story, but its written in an older style of English and can be a little hard to read if you aren't used to reading that style. Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudic are also good, but also have that older style which is great to read but can be hard to get used to if you're not already used to it. I've heard that To Kill A Mockingbird is good, but I personally have never read it. Good luck with all of your reading, you've got some great choices so it looks like you'll have lots of fun!!
If you like romance %26amp; love story, pick Pride and Prejudice (with a happy ending), Jane Eyre or Little Women (tend to be a sad ending)



if you like story about justice, pick To kill a mockingbird.
Personally, I would skim through as many as I could and see if something "jumped out" at me and caught my interest or if someone's writing style really pulled me in. If it did, I would pick that book.



If you can't skim through the books and just have to pick one, I'd recommend "Little Women." I really like that book. It's follow up book "Little Men" is OK, but not as good as the first. "Jane Eyre" was good, but a bit of a drag in a few places.



Hope this helps! :-)
Don't get Little Women!! It's the most boring thing I've ever read... but I liked The Great Gatsby and To Kill A Mockingbird, they're both really good..
I read Jane Eyre as a teen and thought it was the most beautiful and romantic book I'd ever read. I still read it now and then if I want to feel that "sigh" of Romanticism.
You're likely to be assigned "to Kill a Mockingbird" in school and it might be good to wait on that one so you can benefit from class discussion. It's a fine book.



"The Bridge of San Luis Rey" deals with what leads very different people to be in the same place at the same time when something terrible happens. Their circumstances vary, their outcomes are the same. It makes you think about certain coincidences in your own life, about the road not taken.



"The Great Gatsby" is a look at how the well-to-do lived in NY during the Roaring Twenties, and how one man's obsession leads to his downfall.





All three books are classics that still have value in today's world.
The Great Gatsby is one of my all-time favorites. It is meticulously, beautifully written and so sad. Jane Eyre is an amusing read because people hail it as some moving feminist piece when really it's boring and the ending is anything but feminist.



To Kill a Mockingbird is also a great book.
To Kill a Mockingbird definitely. It has many racial issues addressed, but it is an excellent story and it is easy to read.
to kill a mockingbird is a really nice book.

and u will enjoy it :)
The only ones I read were Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird. They are both terrific. I tried reading Pride and Predjuice but found it very confusing.
