...recommendations here)? Okay, let's cut the crap. I'm a thirteen year old, and I've wanted to be a novelist since the ending of sixth grade. I really have amazing writing skills, and even though I am good, I hate to read...a lot. I don't know; reading is boring to me. I haven't found a book that I like so much that I would join fifty fan clubs for it. So, I decided to ask the Yahoo Answers comity to see what books are good. My dad recommended Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, The Hobbit, and Harry Potter. But I need more! I can't become a great novelist if I only read two books and two series. And believe it or not, I've only actually read three books on my own for thirteen years of my life. It's sad actually; I want to change. So please: recommend some books that you love, or think will improve my writing opportunity (or career). Oh and, give a little description if you can. Thanks!
 
i'm 13 and want to be a novelist too (:
some books i have read and what people have reccomended to me -

noughts and crosses series
1. noughts and crosses
2. knife edge
3. checkmate
4. double cross

these books are about a nought and a cross (white and black person) falling in love, but the crosses have more rights. Throughout the books it tells the story of the character, really amazing and emotional books.

Harry Potter series - i know your dad reccomended it already but they are amazing, read them!

Georgia nicholson confessions.
first one is angus thongs and full throntal snogging. They are really funny and good, the 10th and final one came out recently.

House of night series.
i have just finished the first one, and i loved it!
about a girl who gets marked as a vampyre and has to go to the house of night school.
1. marked
2. betrayed
3. chosen
4. untamed
5. hunted
6. tempted
