I can't believe I forgot those! they're awesome!

Spoiler
They're set in a fictional world based on feudal Japan, and "follow a young warrior named Takeo in his struggles to avenge an adoptive father, escape the legacy of his biological father, and pursue the love of his life in the midst of an enormous power struggle involving dozens of clan lords and thousands of warriors." (from wikipedia)

There's ninja and samurai sorts as well as priests and a little bit of magic, with a lot of action and gory stuff but also some more romantic scense as well. Brilliant!

^more info bout them for those who are interested ^

The Good Earth - Pearl S. Buck
What Is the What - David Eggers
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
Bad Monkeys - Matt Ruff

If you have read any of these books, I'd be happy to discuss them with you!

OH i wanted to read the Kite Runner! Was it good?

Also I have read Of Mice and Men...that was a sad book...

I would also recommend A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park. Very good. Sad and heroic! And its quite a short book. So easy reading!
