My sister is turning 11 next week and I want to get her a good book, she has a good sense of humor but a short attention span. Any suggestions?

Finnegans Wake

Lolita

Have her read the entire Genesis and pray to God to fix her retardation.

Letters to Wendy's, by Joe Wenderoth.

plath is the way, let her learn the lesson early

A novelization of the movie Precious: based on the novel Push by Sapphire

Ulysses

I bet there is a 'Greek Classics for kids' somewhere.

A collection of poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins would suit the lass well, i think.

...

Gender Trouble by Judith Butler

that poem about blowjob eyes

>good sense of humor
Candide
>short attention span
Candide

You're American yeah?

some learned fables for good old boys and girls

Harry potter so she could grow up to read stephen king : )

Judy Bloom, Roald Dahl, and Walter Moers are all pretty good kids' authors. Matilda is good, and I like The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, which is long but can be read in sections.

Start with the Greeks. If she has a truly great sense of humor she'll love Soc-meme master-rates
