I need some good books for me to read. They need to be rather long because i read really really fast!
Thanks.
What sort of books do you like? We can give you better suggestions if we know the genre or some of the books that you've previously enjoyed.
Have you read Libba Bray's trilogy starting with
A Great and Terrible Beauty? Those are decently long.
If you like fantasy, I might also recommend Alison Croggon's Pellinor quartet, which starts with
The Naming, Kristin Cashore's
Graceling, and Maria V. Snyder's 'Study' trilogy starting with
Poison Study. None of these are abnormally long, but they're not very small books either.
Long books....
Have you read
Eragon,
Eldest and
Brisingr by Christopher Paolini?
Those are my favorite LONG teen books but there are so many god ones out there.
Mariane Curley's books are fairly long and she's an awesome author!
Wariors by Erin Hunter are kinda pre-teen but I'm 15 and still love 'em!
i like Action, Survival, Comedy, Fantasy. Stuff Like That
No i have not read those and i for sure try them!
You could try the
maximum ride series. The books aren't too long, however I think the series is on the 5th book right now. Or the
mortal instruments trilogy are longer books same with the
looking glass wars trilogy.
I read really fast as well and I've found series help too in that situation. If you have a trilogy or a long series, you can just keep going with it. Especially when they get to be 8+ books long :)
For older teens (14yrs and up) I would recommend
Stephen King books if you like horror, mystery, or suspense.
Other great, long books for teens are:
The astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party by M. T. Anderson
and
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

For fantasy and humour combined you can try Terry Pratchett's Discworld. There are some YA novels but the adult ones are easily readable by any teenager. The entire series is 37 books (just the novels) now.
I am not a fan of action or survival books myself so I can't recommend any of those.
As a teen I loved
Lord Brocktree by Brian Jacques. It's kind of lengthy, and it fits the genre's you listed, its a fantasy/action/adventure story with a spot of comedy from time to time. It's also a part of a HUGE series, although I've never read any of the others.
And there is, of course, the Harry Potter series. The later ones are a good 500-800+ pages each, and they are great books.

those sound really good! i told this website to my literature teacher and she loves it and is makeing everyone in our class have an account!
if you like fantasy I would recommend you The Chronicles of Bridei by Juliet Marillier, I love them, specially the second book.
For a good survival book try
Parable of the Sower by
Octavia Butler which is the first of an unfinished series, yet complete in an of itself. Not a terribly long read but very good.
Their is also
Stephen King's Stand which is survival/post-apocalyptic and quite long.
