I've ready only one book in my life which was pirates and the carribean when I was about 14. I'm now 18 y/o.

I want a good book I can read and won't get too bored of, basically would be my first book so not TOO long.

I enjoy:

War
Ancient civilisation
Greek mythology
Gladiators
etc

Those kind of things^

Sort of off topic, but how the hell have you only ever read one book your entire life?

Also I'd recommend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal%27s_Children

Good book but its pretty long I guess. Maybe make it your third book?

The first book that popped into my mind when I read this was The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. There's no Greek mythology, however it's a great read and my personal favourite fantasy saga.

If books count that we've done in english class I've read a few more.
And reading isn't somthing that really appeals to me but I feel like it's somthing I would enjoy... Even though that dosen't make sense lol. o_O

But yeah I want to get into reading a few books.

I'm reading this. Just read chapter 1 of Sheepfarmer's Daughter. Seems alright so far, will read a chapter when I find myself bored. :) Thanks.
