Peter Jennings.  I was 16 and I was totally in love with him (was in his 60's).  I used to make my family watch the evening news during dinner just so I could see him.  I own all his books.

I'm turning 21 on tuesday. Right now my wish list includes an iPod, an external hard drive for my laptop, and some new shades. Hope that helps!

People between the ages of 16-22 many times are very busy in their everyday lives.  There is homework, afterschool sports or other activities, time spent with friends and family, maybe a job too.  Sometimes it is hard to find time to fit in reading just for fun too.\n\nI would still encourage people of all ages to take time out to read as a gift to themselves. There are sooo many really good books that you could literally read all day, everyday, for your whole life and still not be able to read all the good stuff.\n\nIf you get stuck for ideas, go to the library and talk to the reference librarian.  They will be able to help you find something that you will like.

Books, and my grandparents they were awesome. My parents were worthless too, kinda still are. I learned most things by observing others and through my friends.

How about THE HANDY DANDY POETRY BOOK?\n(not kidding)

Handmaids Tale is a great book with great concepts.  I have taught this book along with Orwell's 1984 and others for my senior english lit class.  \nThe book has a great deal to do with takeovers of society, the impact of inaction/action in society, and women's rights.  I enjoy teaching it to seniors because they are all turning 18 at the time (voting age) and they are inspired to vote to prevent government from taking over, or even burning books like in Bradbury's Farenheit 451!  \nIt is also great to use in debating!  Have fun.

A really special book, preferably something you loved when you were little, and a small stuffed animal.  Sit down and read it to her and the stuffed animal.  Tell her that she should read to the stuffed animal whenever she can so he can love reading just as much as the both of you.

Nancy drew mystery's  ...My brother just read  'Scar Tissue' about the \nRed \nHot Chili Peppers and he said it is amazing and twisted ...but he is 17   \nReading is better than sitting in front of a screen being spoon fed entertainment by the film industry. When you read you are exercising your imagination
