Mostly A's - The Realist

The Realist doesn't like sappy romances and wouldn't be caught dead in Middle Earth. He or she likes to be in the know and doesn't have time for books that don't add to the sum of knowledge. If The Realist had a choice between a Star Trek convention and a tooth canal, he/she would have to think about it. Let's just say Harry Potter isn't best friend material.So what books are best for a Realist? Non-Fiction and Historical Fiction are best bets. These include fact books like the Guiness Book of Records, Biographies and Auto-biographies, what some people call Realistic Fiction (stories based on real life events in modern times) and other books on an endless number of topics, but based firmly in reality.Here are a few to get you started:American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch by Matthew PollyFlight by Sherman AlexieFever 1793 by Laurie Halse AndersonCopper Sun by Sharon DraperBlack Like Me by John Howard GriffinTen Cents a Dance by Christine FletcherRoots by Alex HaleyQueen by Alex HaleyBonus: Autobiography of Malcom X: As Told to Alex Haley by Malcolm X - One of the most widely read autobiographies around, this book gives insight to a man and a time that is part of this Nation's fabric. It doesn't hurt that it includes musings on fatherhood, freedom, fast money and fast times.Tags: Realism, Non-Fiction, Historical Fiction,

Mostly B's - The Romantic

The Romantic loves nothing more than a good love story or a good cry. Given a choice between eating sheep's eyes and watching a puppy being beaten, the Romantic makes a bee line for a seat at the table. So it stands to reason that fiction with a love story or deeply emotional subject matter are best bets.Here are a few to get you started:The Twilight Saga by Stephanie MeyerKeturah and Lord Death by Martine LeavittUpstate by Kalisha BuckhanonShiver by Maggie StiefvaterThe Bluest Eye by Toni MorrissonMy Sister's Keeper by Jodi PicoultForever by Judy BlumeBonus: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - This classic tome was inspiration for Stephanie Meyers' wildly popular Twilight series and it's tragic love story has been making hearts melt for over a century.Tags: Love, Romance,
