Looking for a very high reading level book. that is challenging.

I'm in 9th grade, I love to read but I want a harder book to read. I really want a book that will challenge me.

If you focus on the quality, not the difficulty of the vocabulary, the sky is the limit! Go to your Public Library. They have more adult books from which to choose. Speak with the librarian. They'll talk with you to discover your interests. They can make suggestions custom fit to you! There are so many excellent books. I'd be guessing to list any here. Have fun! This is like a treasure hunt! And, what treasure you'll find!

I just put two adult books that are really good ! Have you ever read any of the Repairman Jack Novels ? By F. Paul Wilson .
Report as
Never heard of them. I take it their pretty good?

Mr. Happy is a smart aleck! "A new genre! Adventures in the care and maintenance of HVAC!" You two would get along great!

Actually "Repairman Jack" helps people with problems , bad problems ! He's almost a paid killer ! Hence the "Repairman" title ! He repairs peoples problems !

Ooh! "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap." That could be fun.

My comment got pulled. I'll try again.
It sounds like the AC/DC song, "D!rty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap." It sounds fun! Mr. Happy loves Tom Clancy. One of these could be a great gift for him. Thanks big brother!

There is a whole series ! F. Paul Wilson writes other types of books too . Repairman Jack is great ! If he likes Tom Clancy , tell him to read "Memorial Day" by Vince Flynn ! Great book !

Who do you read already? Jane Austen can be rather time-consuming to get through. All the classics. Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde. The list is endless. Charles Dickens' imagery is great also.

Look for old books they are harder to read. Plus they have lots of vocabulary.

1984 by George Orwell or Catch 22 by Joseph Heller if you haven't read those already for school.

A classic of any kind...in 9th grade we read "Romeo and Juliet" and the Odyssey and I loved them both.
