The Battle at Thermopylae. Tis an excellent reconstruction of Spartan strategy, belief, and the opposite of fear.

sounds interesting. I might have to find it so I can read it.

Only book I've ever kept reading after four f words

D8 What did I do? I popped in and started talking about books!

Please leave. I'm not going to ask again.

( In reference to the chocolate war) Its a psychological YA novel that deals with the themes of individuality in society. Its mainly on the surface about a young boy that moves to a new school and encounters the schools gang called the Vigils headed by a man named carter. But the true master mind of the group is a boy named Archie. The young boy gets an assignment from this gang that starts out as a practical joke. Through this he learns the empowerment of being an individual but Archie soon finds away to turn this against him.

In its simplest form its a coming of age story but for a YA book it also has many levels to the novel and goes into male psyche and desire. Ultimately after reading it you are left with wondering "Do I dare disturb the Universe" as it is the main motif of the novel. I also enjoy it because I am a fan of dark stories and dark romances. Not Dark in the sense that it is dangerous for these two lovers to exist together but Dark as in mostly realistic ending that makes you question your self. Most of the Author ( Robert Cormier ) novels have that.

And now I feel like a dork... because thats how much I love that novel.

After you tell me what I did. I didn't break any rules...

At this point, you're in violation of the ToS. Please leave.

Poggio; That also sounds interesting. I love YA books. They are good reads and I can beast through them. I don't have a lot of time anymore so I don't get to start that many books anymore.

Well I have a whole bunch of books I can recommend you if you want. XD we can do a book trade because I could frankly talk about them for hours. I'm currently reading another YA book called Am I blue.

The Percy Jackson Series is awesome
The author has... two other series
an Egypt one and a sequel series to the Percy Jackson Series
