Can any one recommend a challenging book?

Something like The pact, My sister’s keeper,The lovely bones. I’d like to boost my vocabulary and writing skills. It would be good if some of the books had a little romance too, but it dosen’t bother me much.

Answer #12

depends on how you mean hard. Relativity by Albert Einstein is hard to read. but if you want fiction my only knowledge is Science Fiction. A great genre if you get into the right parts of it.

“Caves of Steel” is a classic scifi and a good adult read for sci fi beginners. it’s a sci fi mystery by Issac Aszimov. The writer of” I,Robot”. (The move butchered a great work of literature by the way) “The demolished man” and “The Stars my Destination” are harder reads but i only recommend them to those that like darker stories. for anyone interested in stories with REALISTIC female protagonists i recommend “Nemesis” by Asvimov.

None of these are easy reads and i recommend them to anyone looking to broaden their horizons:)

If you like this kind of book please funmail me and i promise to have many more suggestions.
