All by Mr.Anthony Horowitz.

I really like Dan Brown's books such as DaVinci Code. Deception Point is my favorite book of his. A Series of Unfortunate Events is pretty good too. I didn't really like Artemis Fowl though.

Apart from HP I read a lot.I love anything by R.L.Stine.I love his Goosebumps and Fear Street series.I also like "A series of Unfortunate Events"by Lemony Snicket.I like Meg Cabot series of Princess Diaries.Also her book"All-American GIRL".It's so awesome.Also the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"I've read all three of them.And so many more amazing
books that I have yet to read.At school I'm known as a nerd because instead of talking in our free time,I read.I'm always carrying a library book or one of my own.I have a bookshelf at home and it is full.I need another one.

I'm an awesome bookworm. I dont really have a specific genre of books I like to read. I'll read anything: fiction, non-fiction, auto bios/bios, fantasy, adventure. You name it, I've probably read it. I really like the way J.K. Rowling writes and would like it if she continued writing even after she releases the final Harry Potter book. I also really like Dean Koontz. I read By The Light Of The Moon by him and was just completely blown away. It was an amazing book. V.C. Andrews is also one of my favorites. She was a very interesting writer; a lot of different ideas came out of her, and I pretty much adore her for that. And finally Philup Pullman's Dark Materials Trilogy blew my mind. Seriously. If you havent read it, I'm as of right now, recommending it. Seriously.

I havent read anything super interesting as of late. I'm starting Harry Potter again before the final book comes out, just so I've got everything in order. Oh! and my favorite book in the Harry Potter series is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

My fave HP book is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I'm counting days for the movie to come out.Only 355 days left.I think we should start a countdown.

hey kassie i dont want to change the subject because theres a thread for this but how do you get 355 days. My movie counter says there are 347 days left(remember im in the USA) and there hasnt been an official date released many people think the book will come out 07/07/07 which it would put us at about 340 just asking because im interested too. so humm so i love to read, i just finished the divinici code and i'm now reading a book that talks about the real history of the names and characters from the book. I also recently have done the Eragon books love them! I really enjoy christian authors and my 2 favorites are Janette oke and lori wick. Wick does some awesome Olde English stuff from the victorian period. I love that type of history.
Growing up my absolute favorites were and will always be anne of green gables and my ultimate favorite author is Laura Engalls Wilder.she turned me on to reading. thats why i love her so much.
I also do a lot of reading of the books that go with harry. My favorite is mapping the world of harry potter. its a collection of essays from writers all over the world that attack the issues sorrounding the Potter books. it is fasicinating.

Books I highly recommend are:

*Memoirs of a Geshia- This book is about a Japanease peasnt girl who make her way to becoming one of the most successful Geshia in the world.

* Empress Orchid- This is similar to Memoirs of a Geisha but its is about a peasant girl making her way to becoming one Empress of China

*Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason- I'm trusting if you have seen the film then you will like the book. I havent seen the film my self but now i have to.

*A Gathereing Light- I havent finished this yet.

To tell you the truth...

I never read a book as good and wonderful as Harry potter!!

but my next pick will be Terminator 2, the book.

i love reading it is awesome. and here are some good books for you guys to look up they are amazing.

The Outsiders
That Was Then, This Is Now
The Hobbit
The Lord Of The Rings 1-2-3
Tuck Everlasting

My favourite books, well... what should I says except Harry Potter.

I love sci-fi books like Star Wars Episode 2 - The Book.

The "Chaire de Poule" bools (I don't know how it is called in english) :


There are also two japanese books I discovered with anime inspired of these books :

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

Zero no Tsukaima (The Zero's Familiar || Looks like Harry Potter : school of magic, magic wands but no evil lord who wants to reignon the wizards worlds, no boy who survived to a lethal spell who let him a lightning-shaped scar on the forehead)

Books I'd recommend:

Blue Bloods by: Melissa de la Cruz
The Lovely Bones by: Alice Sebold (for the elder crowd, though)
The DaVinci Code & Angels and Demons by: Dan Brown
The Catcher in the Rye by: J.D. Salinger
The Giver and The Messenger by: Lois Lowry (they may be for the younger crowd, but I like them a lot!)

I have six books that I'd like to recommend to readers who are 14 and up, like magic and wouldn't mind seeing it used in a different setting. All six of these books make up R.A. Salvatore's "War of the Spider Queen" series which takes place in the Wizards of the Coast's Forgotten Realms Fantasy Setting, and they are as follows:

1. Dissolution by Richard Lee Byers
2. Insurrection by Thomas M. Reid
3. Condemnation by Richard Baker
4. Extinction by Lisa Smedman
5. Annihilation by Philip Athans
6. Resurrection by Paul S. Kemp

This series is the brainchild of R.A. Salvatore, a literary genius notorious for his books depicting the trials of the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden and his friends. Though not the one writing the novels, these six books simply scream Salvatore. I've enclosed a linked that will take you to Wikipedia's description of the series here. Enjoy!

Zophael

Well, since everyone else is recommending books I guess I could put some on here too.

Gathering Blue-Lowis Lowry
Chronicles of Narnia- C.S Lewis
Carrie and The Stand and- Stephen King
War of the Worlds- H.G. Wells
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galxey- Douglas Adams
Black Creek Crossing-John Saul

They're really good if you get a chance to read them you really should, trust me you'll like em if you like good reading.

and many many many more.

I have some more books to add to my already long list!

~The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. This is my favorite book in the world, even better then Harry Potter.

~LOTR and the Hobbit, by JRR Tolkein. I used to hate these books but I've changed my mind.

~Cirque du Freak, by Darren Shan. I cannot recomend these books enough...they are nearly as good as HP.

~Warriors, by Someone Whose Name I Cannot Remember. A really good series, even if it is about cats.

~The Solitaire Mystery, by Josten Gaarder. It is a bit complicated though....

I agree with LOTR series and The Giver (sad, but a good read).

I just read a book callled Hiroshima. It's a really good read but very depressing and brings up a good point.

My favorite book is definitely harry potter, nothing beats it!
My other favorite authors are:
-Eoin colfer (Artemis Fowl)
-Jonathan Stroud (the bartimaeus trilogy)
-Christopher Paolini (eragon)
-William Goldman (princess bride)
-Ann Brashares (the Sisterhood books)
-Carl Haaisen (Hoot)
-Sharon Creech (The Wanderer)
-Eva Ibbotson (Journey to the River Sea)
-Tamora Pierce (Trickster's Choice)
-Libba Bray (a great and terrible beauty)
-Ellen Raskin (the Westing Game)
-Philip Pullman (wrote the Amber Spyglass, my second favorite book in the universe...)
...and many more, but those are some of my favorites...
My LEAST favorite book ever has to be the DaVinci Code, I thought it was too predictable.

ooo, i love Sarah Dessen books. im reading her book called, "Someone Like You", and so far it is amazing, sad yes, but awesome. i have some other books by her here, got them from the local library, "That Summer" and "Keeping the Moon".

I just finished reading another book and I have to add it to my list! I just finished reading the Da Vinci Code, and I really liked it. PoodlePatronus, what did you think was too predictable? Well anyway, I like the way Dan Brown writes. In my opinion this book was fast paced and very interesting. A lot of things were happening at once and tied up fantastically in the end. I really thought it was a good ending. It may not have been a shocker, but it was a bit surprising.

I now just moved onto Angels and Demons. I don't know why I started reading the second in the series before the first, but the Da Vinci Code was more widely known.

~_H-S_~

Ok so the most recent book I have read is "New Moon" by Stephanie Meyers, it is the sequel to "Twilight". I got the book as a mistake on the part of the book keeper at WaldenBooks, she put it out two weeks early and I got it before she realized!!!! Haha, but when it is available for everyone else read both of those books, they are an amazingly written new twist on the well established Vampire/werewolf theme.... it is great

About the DaVinci code... How many times were they at gunpoint in the first chapter? When reading that book it wasn't necessary to think at all, it was like a scavenger hunt... they just kept getting led to one more place, which led them to another place, to another place, to another place... kind of formulaic, almost. There was no mystery or complexity. And it was not realistic... the characters weren't developed very well and Langdon was a total dunce. Or the backwards writing. It took them about five pages to find a mirror and figure out what it was; of course Leonardo DaVinci wrote backwards! And it was predictable. Everyone, even the people who are supposed to be so smart, are so suprised when they find out something that the reader should have seen about two chapters ago. In all, I just thought it wasn't very intellectually stimulating.

I absolutely adore almost anything written by Terry Pratchett. He's a brilliant satirist. He's written a couple of books for young adults called The Wee Free Men and Hat Full of Sky, which are excellent reads for teens--although I enjoyed them immensely too, and I'm far from my teens, lol

His Discworld novels are geared more toward adults, and have several sub-series in them--The Witches series, the Wizard series, the Death series, and the Watch series.

My favorites are the Witches series and the Wizard series. The Witches series starts with Wyrd Sisters, then goes to Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Carpe Jugulum, and Masquerade. The Wizard Series begins with The Colour of Magic, then The Light Fantastic, Sourcery, Eric, and Interesting Times

All of my copies are well-loved, much-read, dog-eared, and some are even taped together so the pages stay put! I would recommend his writings to anyone who has a wicked sense of humor!
(My siggie has an excerpt from the beginning of Wyrd Sisters)

Ho God...
If I start to say all the books that I like, I'll never add this reply!
Let's see:
Obviously, I love each and every one of the HP's books.
Then I have:
LOTR,
Eragon and Eldest,
The Mists of Avalon;
The Trilogy of Sevenwaters;
The Dark Mirror;
Fox Mask;
The Son of Thor;
Tom Bombadill;
Souad, Burned Alive;
The Historian;
The Burning Times;
The DaVinci Code;
Angels and Demons;
The Digital Fortress;
Rainbow Bones;
all of NArnia books;
Le Fantòme de L'Opera;
Le Journal Intime de Ellen Rimbauer: MA Vie A Rose Red;
And the list coul go on and on and on...

OOOH I love reading
Umm, the list of my favorite books is a bit long, but my favorite PLUS books are those from the People of Ember series... right now, that includes The City of Ember, The People of Sparks and The Last Prophet. They're absolutely amazing.

I love My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It's about a girl named Anna who all her life has had to be a donor for her sister who has leukemia - infact, she was born for this very reason. Now she is filing a lawsuit for medical emancipation from her parents. It's just... incredible. It made me appreciate my life more. It is very detailed and an amazing read.

I also love The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. This one is about a 14 year old girl named Susie Salmon who is raped then killed and throughout the book watches her family change and deal with the loss. Peter Jackson is making it into a movie in 2007 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380510/).

Both incredible books Has anyone else read and loved them?

*col*

I love Harry Potter and that is definitely my favorite book.However when i am not reading Harry potter i enjoy reading Pendragon.I don't know if any of you have ever read one of these books,but anyway i think that they are pretty good.I also want to start reading the Eragon books.I hear that they are really good so i think that will be the next book i read.

HPFan792, you should definately read the Eragon and Eldest books seeing as they are absolutely amazing. And the movie for Eragon comes out in December

I love Terry Pratchett!! He is one of my favorite authers ever.

My favorite is the Death series. Do you know wich ones are in the death series?


Do you think that THe Lovely Bones would be appropriate for a 12-year old? I've heard that it's really good but my mom might not let me read it.


One of my new favorite books is the Bartimaes Trilogy. I hated the first one but this boy I know told me that the next one was really good and had girls in it and it was SO good! The end of Ptolemy's Gate(the last one)is really sad but my favorite characters live, and my least favorite dies so I don't know why I think that it's sad.

Also another book that I love is the Book THeif. It is the best book ever, better than HP as hard as that is to beleive.

My other favourite books are tied with Harry Potter for my favourite, they are the Halo series, there is 3 of them in all, but there should be a fourth as they haven't come out with one for Halo 2 yet and I want to know what happens since I'm too lazy to beat it, anyways the books are caled:The Fall of Reach(prequal to the original game) The Flood(what happens in the original game) and First Strke (sequal to first game prequal to second game).

I've read the Book Theif, and you're right, it's pretty awesome
I also had started reading the first book of the Bartimaes series, but I couldn't finish it. It was the first time I didn't finish a book! Maybe if the others in the series are interesting I'll look itno finishing the first...

I love to reading! I tend to only read series of books though. A few of my favorite series are:

The Deryni series by Katherine Kurtz
The Shannara books by Terry Brooks
The Xanth Series by Piers Anthony
The 9 Princes of Amber books by Roger Zelazny

They're all really cool fantasy books bordering on Sci-fi occasionally, but the're really awsome books and there are many many books per series, so there's a lot to read! I happen to have read almost all of them!

Okay well it is quite graphic. I'm 16 and I'm not sure if it would be okay for a 12 year old, but if you are a mature 12 year old I think it would be okay. If you respect your mum's wishes, you could maybe get her to read it? Or a part of it? If she doesn't let you read it, you'll have to wait 'til you are a bit older I guess.

*col*

I just love Cathy Kelly's books, they are amazing! My favourite book- though it is hard to discern it, i have 300+ books...- is the Third Heiress, it is just great! It presents events in modern and 1800's England. I also like the Shopacholic series And the Stravagantza series by Mairy Hoffman. You have, have, have to read the first book -city of masks, in english i think-. It is amazing. You will love it if you are interested in Italy, Venice etc...

Hmm, so many people read the same books as me. Sweet!

Here's my list:

Books I can read over and over:
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis
The Harry Potter series by JKR

OMG OMG I loooove Philip Pullman's Dark Materials!
Absolutely brilliant! the Amber Spyglass is one of my FAVORITE books, along with Harry Potter and The Princess Bride.

And Ginevra- I adore the Bartimaeus trilogy! They're so witty. Hilarious. I think I cracked a few ribs trying not to laugh.

TriadOfDarkness- I agree, Artemis Fowl is great. Number five (the Lost Colony) just came out two days ago and I think it tops them all!

alkisti- about Stravaganza by mary hoffman- I love them! I own the third one, but the first one is by far the best in my opinion; they're really interesting, full of intrigue and lots of mystery. I agree, I highly reccomend them!

Ooh I love the Stravaganza books aswell! The "His Dark Materials" books were good too, although I can't remember much of them now...

I didn't know there was a 5th book in the Artemis Fowl series coming out. I didn't like #4 as much as the others - it's good to hear that #5 "tops them all"

*col*

I can't remember how many Artemis' books i have, i think three, i have to buy the rest of them. Philip Pulman's books were amazing, amazing, amazing! I mean they had everything- magic, mystery, adventure...! About the Stravaganza, i haven't read the second yet, but the first one is great! I've read it like five times. Another book i LOVE is Old Magic, by Marianne Curley. You just have to read that if you like Medieval times! And magic of course!

Ooh yay, books! I have lots of favorites. Here are some(not including HP, of course):
Black Beauty
The Ranch of Dreams
Where the Red Fern Grows
Old Yeller
To Kill a Mockingbird
Sounder

I think there might be more. If I think of any I'll post.

These are some of my fav books.

Capt. Hook by J.V.Hart
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas
and
The Shakespearean Scribe by Gary Blackwood

I read loads of other books (of course, none are better than Harry Potter), and my favourites are those written by Ialf Isau, a german writer, whom not many of you may know... Thoguh, I think, some of his books are already translated into English...
My favourite one is 'the Circle of Dawn', a book (actually four books) with about 2500 pages. It is set during the whole 20th century, connecting true events with the made up story... genius!

Anything by Nicholas Sparks. His books are awesome. Of course not better than J.K, but yah. I also like Deadly Deceptions, tho I cant remember who wrote it. oops..but mostly nicholas sparks...

The Dragonlance Series (Well over 100 books in the series!!! I own over 50 of them, VERY VERY VERY good reads)
The Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon, Eldest, ???. VERY VERY good books as well)
And there is a book called Bottled Up I love lol.

jarn- I aslo LOVE the Inheritance Trilogy. Did you know they are making Eragon into a movie? In some of the early summary things they said "evil king Brom" No joke. Me and my friend are hoping it's an eror. Back onto books. The Lost Years of Merlin very, very good. The Young Wizards by Diane Duane. Another very good series. Redwall. All of them. Very, Very, VERY, GOOD!! One of the BEST Serises EVER!!! MUST READ!!

SL28

PoodlePatronus, *col*, alkisti i have only just read here. haven't been on this bit for a while. and know what you all mean! "His Dark Materials" did have everything!! Absolutley fantastic i could never really put it down!

I just started reading the Pendragon series last week, and they were SO good that I read them one a day last week. I would even venture to say that they are even better than Harry Potter.
Some other favorites(that I don't think I've posted here yet):
To Kill a Mockingbird
Gone With the Wind
Redwall
The Book Thief
The Hobbit
The Inheritance Trilogy

So I'm taking Early British Literature (because I couldn't get into poetry or acting) and we're forced to read Beowulf. I hate that book. But it did to one of my new favorites; Grendel by John Gardner. (The book may not be appropriate for the squemish but it so interesting which is, afterall, the most important part of any book.) The book retells the first few dozen pages of Beowulf and Grendel's war against Hrothgar from the view point of the monster Grendel. Gardner dooesn't an excellent job of portraying a beast as what it is a lost, confused and frightened individual who has allowed himself to commit horrible crimes to validate his existense and "break up the boredom" of life. And then Beowulf comes...

Books! Love em.

My favorites are historical fiction genreand fantasy genre-related books. I love Civil War books such as An Eye for An Eye, Soldier Boys, a Soldiers Heart, etc. Fantasy is also good. Harry Potter, Pendragon, Inheritance, Lord of the Rings, Lemony Snicket, Garth nix, everything!

I like Eragon and Eldest too. I even met the author at a book signing once!
Some other great books are:
Warriors and
Warriors The New Prophecy, both by Erin Hunter
Artemis Fowl (Eoin Colfer)
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Books by Gail Carson Levine she writes great fantasy.
and
King Arthur books by Gerald Morris
i can't think of anything else right now.

I love all of Christopher Paolini books, i wish i could of met the author and get my books signed.
I dont really like artemis fowl its i dont know.
I also like LDR like most people
I like all Gerald Morris books : the squirs tale, and there are a couple other ones but i dont remember.
I like a lot of Terry Brooks books : The Shannara books are all good.
The War Torn Sky is a good war book, which i cried after reading.
of course hp
My brother Sam is dead is a sad book.
thats it for now
