could you please recommend any nooks or audio books to me please
i am a quick reader so i don’t mind about length
16 years old
male
likes action and adventure themes
last summers books- every Harry Potter
How about…
The Bartameus Trilogy by Johnathan Stroud. Young English Magician summons a very sarcastic Djinn. Hilarity and not a little trouble ensue.
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Coilfer. Boy Genius. Evil Mastermind. Artemis is awesome. In the first book he decides to steal fairy gold from a leprechaun. Unfortunately it’s L.E.P. Recon. He gets a police fairy. They lower elements Police lock down his house. Pull it out of time to get their officer back.
Discworld by Terry Pratchett. There are a ton and they’re all satire. Of everything. There’s one that makes fun of the movie industry and one for rock music… The world is great and there are so many characters to choose from to follow.
The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. I LOVE these books. They were awesome. Started with a street kid barely surviving. He scrapes together enough money to get apprenticed to the world’s best wet boy and learns the art of killing. Meanwhile there are three magicians wandering around with bits of prophecy to see about. It starts as a story about this kid and explodes into a near world war with twists and turns and tons of intrigue and good fights. It’s epic and awesome.
And for Audio. I got Fool by Christopher Moor. It’s King Lear from the jester’s point of view. It is bawdy. And FUNNY. The guy who read it just brought it to life. I listened to it on a long ride and had to stop a few times because I was laughing so hard.

Of course I’m a chick so I’d say Twilight series. Dude.. my dad even read them.. haha. They’re not that bad.
But for a guy my age… I’d say the book Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. TOTAL guy book. It’s from a man’s point of view, also. And it’s about his adventures of working for a couple of wildly famous circus’s. I’m sorry if I’m making it sound lame. It’s really not. I’ll give you a link for the book description.
It’s only one book. It’s a fairly decent size, but if you’re really a fast reader then you might finish it within 1 or 2 days. I did. I do warn you… it gets pretty dirty in that man’s point of view sort of way. But I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s not a chick book. It’s not an only male book either. It’s an EVERYONE book.
