So me and my main bitch want to start a book together, but we don't know what book to choose lul.

My girlfriend reads a bunch of books, but I never read books. Since I have something capable of reading e-books now, I figured I might as well give it a try.

What we don't want:
-A book that's like a thousand pages; so none of that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire shit or w.e
-Some stupid ass teen-fiction vampire romance shit
-Non-Fiction; those tend to be biographies and shit and kinda boring; so none of that
-HORROR

What we do want:
-A good read
-Something that's likely to become a movie. Shit like The Hunger Games, Life of Pi, Harry Potter, etc. (BUT NOTHING WITH LIKE A MILLION PAGES)
-Mainstream, a best-seller or some shit

Humor is a big+ (But can't be stupid)

So what does SRF suggest? :sohappy:

http://www.amazon.com/Penpal-Dathan-Aue ... rds=Penpal

It's a great book and the story behind it is awesome. It's not too long, something like 300pages or so with good sized text.

Pretty much this started as a series of posts on NoSleep on Reddit. Based on reviews and feedback, the author started up a KickStart to raise money to get it published. This is the result of that and it's an amazing read.

You better be prepared to do some kinky shit then, that books pretty much just a porn novel for women.
