Suggested Reading

[Shiori Yukine]

A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin (kicks so much a**, it's unbelievable)

His Dark Materials - Phillip Pullman

The Black Company - Glen Cook

The Eternal Champion (series: Elric, Corum, Erekose, and Hawkmoon) - Michael Moorcock. These books are pretty damn good. It's good dark fantasy, for anyone who likes it. Be warned though, they're a little hard to find.

The Black Jewells Trillogy - Anne Bishop.

The Stand - Stephen King

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

Ringworld (series) - Larry Niven

Right now I just started reading The Illuminatus! Trillogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It's a little strange, but very intriguing.

Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. Great series. And also, the Inheritence series (a.k.a Eragon, Eldest).  

[DarkIntai]

I've read quite a lot of books. Read the Inheritance series by Paolini, The Inkheart series, anything by Tamora Pierce, Stephanie Meyer
(famous for making the vampire/love novel), Eoin Colfer books, primarily the Wish list, The Supernaturalists, Airman, and the Artemis Fowl. Oh not to mention Harry Potter, House of Scorpions, THe Sea of Trolls, And THe Eye the Ear and the Arm.

The Cry of Icemark
is the book for u
by stuart hill

this is the best book ever!!

yup, it's great!

i like holly black, and TERRY PRATCHET, also, LM Montgomery (wrote Anne of green gables etc)

Terry Pratchett RULES! He wrote the discworld series, which is the undisputed King of Comedy.  

[Suzuka-dono]

The Green Rider series by Kristen Britain (I think that's her name)

The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson (It has a crazy amount of action and humor)

The Black Cauldron, Taran Wanderer, The High King, The Book of Three, etc. by Lloyd Alexander (It's all a series if you're wondering)

The Ear, the Arm, and the Eye by ???? (I don't remember if it's the arm, ear, eye, or eye, arm ear, but whatever. The book include quite a bit of African folklore, which I find fascinating)

The Guardians of Time series by Marriane Curley (fantastic series!!!!)

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (It's a bit complicated. So don't read it if you hate hard to follow plotlines.)

The Earthsea Cycle by Ursula le Guin (ancient books, but great!)

The Blue Swords, The Hero and the Crown both by Robin McKinely (lovely, with pleasing heroines)

Anything by Tamora Pierce!

That's it for now!  

[TempestRising]

Fans of Tammy P (my affectionate nickname for Tamora Pierce) should check out Mercedes Lackey.

Since she's written 70 books, she's had some hits and misses.
But I whole-heartedly endorse her Bardic Voices Books and I've heard the Heralds of Vladmar books are even better.  

[IvyStarling]

Hmm... I recommend:

Anything by Eoin Colfer (like the Artemis Fowl series)
Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling
Books by James Patterson (like the Maximum Ride series)
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (there's a sequel called Inkspell)
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
Protector of the Small by Tamora Pierce
Molly Moon and the... (it's series by someone who I can't remember)
Warriors (a series by Erin Hunter)

...and that's all I think of off the top of my head  

[Eragon-12015]

the Septimus Heap series(Magyk, Flyte, Physik, and Queste) by Angie Sage
Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini
The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
The Wind on Fire Trilogy by William Nicholson
The Circle of Magic quartet by Tamora Pierce
The Circle Opens quartet by Tamora Pierce
The Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce
Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
The Power of Five series by Anthony Horowitz
The Thief Lord by Corneila Funke
the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven
The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
Seeing Redd by Frank Beddor
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
I think that's it. I don't think I can think of anymore.

But I whole-heartedly endorse her Bardic Voices Books and I've heard the Heralds of Vladmar books are even better.

Heralds of Valdemar, that is. And some more by her that might interest people include the SERRAted Edge series( elves in the modern-day world done in a spectacular way in my opinion) and the Bedlam's Bard series has me absolutely captivated right now. For the more mature reader I'd suggest the Thieves' World series. They are written by multiple authors, you will find the lump of them under Robert Asprin as the editor and creator of the concept, and some side books by Janet Morris.(Perhaps more, my information is a little outdated sorry.) For those of you who just want a taste of comedy, I'd firmly hand you "The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld" by Terry Pratchett, compiled by Stephen Briggs. It's a collection of quotes from the many Discworld novels that can be picked up and put down at any time, and is guaranteed to give you a giggle at some point. I would also like to put another word in for Mercedes Lackey, as she is an author that you almost can't go wrong with. She has a little something for everyone at some point in her career, and it's not like she only wrote "a few" books. biggrin

Quote:

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

I love that book for so many reasons. The gentleman with thistledown hair is one my favorite villains of all time. Crazy, superpowerful, mercurial, ill-tempered, and vain . . . He's just awesome.

Marcus Zusak has several rather emotional and very compelling books out at the moment. He's a brilliant author and I wholeheartedly recommend anything that he turns out. I Am the Messenger is particularly good with a thought provoking twist at the end. The Book Thief makes me cry every time I re-read it. So sad, but so worth the tears.

-the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer

-Harry Potter (obviously) by J.K. Rowling

-the Ingo series by Helen Dunmore- not very well known, but don't let the front cover put you off (it has a mermaid on it), it's really good and nothing like those fairytail mermaid stories...

-the Cherub series (it's like Alex Rider, but the action scenes are much better) by Robert Muchamore

-the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz

-the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

-the Wind on Fire Triology by Willian Nicholson (personally, i found it really boring and couldn't bring myself to finish the last half of the 3rd book, but it's one of those books that once you start reading, you can't stop, even if you are really bored)

-His Dark Materials Triology by Phillip Pullman

-The Valley of Secrets (one of the best books in the world! It's really good! And the imagery is really realistic so you can actually get a clear picture of everything that's happening), by Charmain Hussey

-The Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons and Deception Point all by Dan Brown (seriously, he's one of my favourite authors)

-the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson

@ Suzuka: Howl's moving castle movie was really good! Well, the storyline is a bit confusing/boring but i love the music...
