I would carry a book from the Clique or the Harry Potter series, or BEGGING FOR CHANGE.

i would carry romance books like DON'T DIE MY LOVE, or A ROSE FOR MELINDA, etc.

The Kite Runner

THE GIVER by Lois Lowry!

I don't think you should want to impress people. You have nothing to prove to anyone and what they think of you shouldn't matter.
BUT, I'd have to say the Maximum Ride series ;) Most likely the 3rd book.

ME AND EMMA --- it's a little bit more adult reading.

AN encyclopaedia. It will wow everyone!

Pride and the Prejudice

WAR AND PEACE --- it never fails to impress because everyone is familiar with the title. It's easy to get away with because no one really knows what it's about. And if nothing else, it's pretty safe to rely on the sheer gargantuan size of the novel to blow people away.

If I wanted to impress people, I would carry one of the books in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy with me.

WELSH FOLKLORE by Rev Elias Owen

I would carry THE GLASS CASTLE because it's a pretty complex book. It is also has a lot of deeper meanings. It's psychological --- you can see deep into her life when she was a child.

One of the books from the Twilight Saga, without a doubt.

I would always carry THE NEW GIRL. I love that book!

Ok, I have a lot to read over the summer :-) Some of them haven't came out yet, but here it goes!

ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card
THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams
I AM THE CHEESE by Robert Cormier
The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
GONE by Michael Grant
STEALING HEAVEN by Elizabeth Scott
THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins

Hundred Years of Solitude
Grapes of Wrath
The Great Gatsby
The Age of Innocence
Les Misérables

To Kill A Mockingbird

Vampire Kisses books 1-5

ECLIPSE
Fo sho!

Bible!

My friends are all into manga and stuff, so I'd carry THE KINGDOMS AND THE ELVES OF THE REACHES # 2, the illustrated one, not the regular one. If you see the cover you'll understand why!

Anything by Shakespeare, or just any classic book.

I think I would carry the book ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer around. It has an impressive cover (and I love it!!), and it is a big book, but I would encourage people to read the series.

I think I would also like to carry around HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Everyone knows the Harry Potter series, and some don't know the ending of it. It might intrigue people to start reading it and finish it.

Life is not about impressing people, but if I were trying to impress people, I would probably carry around THE ODYSSEY. There is so much depth to that epic poem and you can tell just by looking at it that there is a lot of information. Truly, you cannot have a good book without information and intelligence, both of which Homer put a lot of into his tale. So if I was trying to impress someone with my reading I would definitely carry around THE ODYSSEY.

I AM A CAT by Soseki Natsume.

If I wanted to impress people I would carry around the book INKHEART or another thick book. I would carry it because people would think that I can read big books and it would make me feel good.

If I wanted to impress people, I would carry a pocket dictionary that translated to another language. If it can't be a reference book, I would carry something by Avi.

If I wanted to impress people I would carry around TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee.

Anything by Jane Austen

TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer

LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott

TWILIGHT - Stephenie Meyer

A Tale of Two Cities.

IMPULSE by Ellen Hopkins

TWILIGHT or THE HOST

Plato's REPUBLIC...untranslated :P

The Bible

i would carry THE ART OF WAR because it's impressive for a fourteen year old to be interested in that book.

Pride and Prejudice
1984
Watership Down

PERFECT GIRLS, STARVING DAUGHTERS by Courtney E. Martin

THE HOST by Stephenie Meyer

A really really thick book that has a book mark really close to the end so it looks like it was no big deal for you to read that far.

Twilight

I would carry around the dictionary.

Pride and Prejudice

Any book at all!

Books such as PRIDE AND PREJUDICE --- or anything by Jane Austen really --- THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, or Anna Karenina. Basically major classics, normally thick ones.

I would carry Les Misérables with me. I already read it when I was 13. Now I'm 15, but it's still something people wouldn't expect a teenager to be interested in. It looks impressive because it's huge, at least the one I have; it's over 1,000 pages.

1984 by George Orwell

If I wanted to impress people, I would probably carry a Stephen King book. They show that I am mature, and what type of literature I like to read.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD usually gets some impressive looks, but my number-one book to carry around would have to be INKHEART. I have met few people who recognize it, so when they ask what it's about, I go on for hours and hours on end talking about the novel. Usually it impresses nobody and they try and sneak away, but I still feel like every once and a while, somebody must think in their minds, "Wow, that girl knows her stuff!"

I would carry TWILIGHT, always. I mean, come on --- who doesn't love that book? And, you would get in with a lot of people and have many friends.

If I wanted to impress people, I would carry GONW WITH THE WIND around with me.

I would say a really difficult one, like PARADISE LOST, or a very classic classic, like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

I would carry my Catholic Youth Bible.

I'd carry TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer around with me. I think it would be cool to have other TWILIGHT Die Hards come up and start a conversation about the book with me. Also, having the book with me might give people the opportunity to ask me about the book and then I could tell them just how awesome it is..xD

Probably a classic like MOBY DICK, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, LITTLE WOMEN, or ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.

I would carry something classy like a Jane Austen book, especially PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, just because everyone knows what that is.

JUST LISTEN by Sarah Dessen
or
THE LAST SUMMER (OF YOU AND ME) by Ann Brashares

Eragon!

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Why? Because it is one of my favorite books, and is one of the greatest pieces of American literature ever! Actually, I'd carry it around even if I weren't trying to impress someone!

If I wanted to impress people, I would carry around UNCLE TOM'S CABIN by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Not many people have read this book, so I think someone would be impressed if they saw a teenager carrying it around.

A pocket-size version of the dictionary, or the actual thing.

It would depend on who I was with. If I was with my best friend, I would have a really big book like ELDEST or DRAGON RIDER.

A history book, because it shows that you know your stuff.

I would probably carry a novel written in a different language. It would show that not only can I speak a different language, but I am an intellectual in that dialect and can read novels from wherever that language comes from. :)

Gotta be the COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES by John Green

Just show them a math problem!

I would carry around THE ROAD OF THE DEAD just to freak people out. I'm totally not a people person.

This question seemed incredibly easy at first, but now that I'm actually thinking about it, it's really hard to answer. I would probably have to say A BEAUTIFUL MIND by Sylvia Nasar. This book was really interesting and the way it was written was really beautiful.

I would be carrying BREAKING DAWN by Stephenie Meyer the second it comes out! I couldn't put down the first 3, so I have to have the 4th one of the series!

Definitely Shakespeare.

My own novel that I have written, but it is yet to be published. The title is undetermined.

Does My Head Look Big in This?

I think i would carry CLIQUE with me because it's a good book and I guess people would know that I read during the summer! And I am proud of that!

War and Peace

The Holy Bible

Any Stephenie Meyer book.

Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix

War and Peace

New Moon

Hmmmmm....
For adults, I would impress them with:
- Henry James
- William Shakespeare
- John Grisham
- James Patterson
- ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand

For Teens and younger:
- The same adult authors
- Stephenie Meyer

The dictionary

The Bible

The book that I would carry with me to impress people would definitly be BREAKING DAWN because everyone is waiting for it and once they see you with it, they're gonna want to be you b/c it is going to be so difficult to get the book after it releases (:

A dictionary

The Holy Bible

GREAT EXPECTATIONS by Charles Dickens

That's a hard question! I would carry any of the three books in the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix.

I would carry a book called PANTS ON FIRE --- it's the best book I've read so far, and anyone would be amazed!

Probably THE ODYSSEY

L8r, G8r

If i wanted to impress people --- which I don't --- I would carry the books I like and enjoy. There's no need to impress, just be yourself...

Any book by Leo Tolstoy.

ZIG ZAG --- best book I have ever read. It has literally changed my life. =)

If I wanted to impress people then I would carry ATONEMENT.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

1984

I would carry one of the biggest Harry Potter books(like HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS) because it would show I love reading!

Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse

Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, for it is a great masterpiece, and authors like Jane Austen are hard to find nowadays.

If I wanted to impress someone, I would carry any book that I like, because people shouldn't only be impressed by what you read. They should be impressed by who you are and your personality because you could be an amazing person and have a hard time reading big books. Other people should get to know you before they judge you.

A famous one like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE or THE ODYSSEY

If I had to impress people, then I would carry a 'dangerous' cover book or something similar. But I don't care about what other people think of what I read.

ANNA KARENINA by Leo Tolstoy

A very thick book, or a play by Shakespeare

Pride and Prejudice
Le Miserables

SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE by Kurt Vonnegut.

If I really wanted to impress people, I would carry HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. The bigger the book the better, right?

Twilight

The Twilight series --- this is the only and best book in the whole wide world and I am irrevocably, unconditionally in love with this book, and with Edward.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen because it is simple witty and I love it so much! It's an all-time classic accepted by so many hearts.

Any book from the Harry Potter series! It's one of my favorite series that I am not ashamed of being very fond of!

IMPULSE by Ellen Hopkins, because it is a pretty tough-looking book. It's red and black and the title is written in a creepy font. I wouldn't want anyone to think I wasn't tough.

I would probably carry around any of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. They are definitely my favorite books in the whole world, and I am always impressed when I see others carrying one. I'm not usually an outgoing person with strangers but I can't resist when they have Twilight books in their hands!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, because it is a classic and many people see it as a tough book to read.

Twilight
>A Child Called "It"
Pretty Little Liars

OPHELIA by Lisa Klein

I think I might carry the book FOREVER because it's sophisticated and adult reading. Also, because I love that book and could read it over and over.

I would carry around J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings --- because, well, it's so large, and I would love to have people think I read the whole thing --- and WICKED LOVELY because it's such a daring book to read.

The Dictionary

Twilight
Harry Potter
Green Angel
The Thief of Always

The Bible

A play by Shakespeare, for example, ROMEO AND JULIET, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM or WHAT YOU WILL. I think adults would be shocked when they see a teenager carrying a play by Shakespeare in his hands because they wouldn't expect it. I would impress them, surely. ;-)

I would carry my most favorite book in the world with me, THE HOST, by Stephenie Meyer. One reason is because I love it, and another is that it is an adult novel and I am only 13 (a month away from 14) years old. Also, I think it would be a good way to get people to read it because it is the best book in the world. So if you are reading this, drop whatever you are doing and buy THE HOST. I command you!

The dictionary

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE or A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Also, I CAPTURE THE CASTLE.

Artemis Fowl

Probably an old classic like A TALE OF TWO CITIES or GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, or ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer.

I would carry a dictionary to look smart!

Harry Potter

BATTLE ROYALE by Koushun Takami

Romeo and Juliet

Well probably ECLIPSE from the Twilight Saga. I usually carry it around any way. I believe it would impress people because, first, it size. It pretty decent in size. And second, it's a vampire romance story. Who wouldn't be impressed?

I would carry Jane Austen's COMPLETE NOVELS because I find a variety of vocabulary in her works, which help increase my understanding of the meaning of words that I do not know.

THE KITE RUNNER by Khaled Hosseini

A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini because being a girl, it is of great honor and pride to read such a book that discuses the life of women. I loved reading it and have read it twice!

I would definitely carry TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer! Although I've read it like about a billion times!

ON THE ROAD by Jack Kerouac

THE STAND by Stephen King
(It can also works as a lethal weapon.)

If I wanted to impress people, I would carry PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen.

The Bible --- It is the most impressive book ever.

THE KINGDOM AND THE ELVES OF THE REACHES #2. The one with Vilmos and the huge fireball! It's amazing!

THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE --- it's thick and big, and sounds very smart. That, or THE HANDMAID'S TALE.

I would probably carry something by William Shakespeare.

THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT --- I love this book and it makes me appear smart.

i would carry a book more than three-hundred-fifty pages that had a topic of lets say history. World War II.

TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer, because it's one of my favorite books and it's thick.

I would carry OPHELIA by Lisa Klein because people would be impressed by an 11 year old girl actually knowing who Shakespeare was, let alone Ophelia and her lover Hamlet! I was 9 when I read the play!

Twilight

ANIMAL FARM or 1984.

1984 by George Orwell

Anything written by Jane Austen.

One of two books --- either EAST OF EDEN by John Steinbeck or THE AGE OF INNOCENCE by Edith Wharton.

A Hundred Years of Solitude

THE PICKWICK PAPERS by Charles Dickens
