Turnabout is fair play.

I like the Inheritance trilogy by Christopher Paolini also.

 

[Zekrom_cool]

I love the harry potter series, the inheritence saga (eragon, eldest and brisngr), the lord of the rings trilogy, Jeffery Archer books (e.g- quiver full of arrows) and Dan Brown Mysteries (Da vinci code, etc.)

OFF-TOPIC:

I move we sticky this. Looking at the stickied threads, not one of them is about books, so I think the forum deserves at least one stickied book discussion thread...

Also, it at least gives an impression that we aren't all trolls...

If you could just have a look at the post above yours!

Yeah, but obvious troll isn't really...

+1 to the sticky idea.

Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr.
Probably one of the best books I have read from the 20th century. I have read it at least 20 times now in the past 2 years and it never gets old (not to mention the times I read the individual stories by themselves, 'Tralala' and 'The Queen is Dead' = two of my favorite short stories of all time).
I could go on and on about the book but I am not going to but I would recommend everyone to check it out!

The Harry Potter Series. I can't seem to stop rereading it. I like it very much.

 

[imshortandrad]

The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird were pretty good.

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

The Perks of being a Wallflower

Its not even like a book

Its an EXPERIENCE

I don't usually read books much, but Game Over was an excellent book on the video game industry during the 80s and early 90s. Theres so many personal accounts and neat information. I highly recommend it. I gotta find a copy of "All Your Base Are Belong to Us". It looks great.

EDIT: Typo.

Why are you the only one to say To Kill a Mockingbird so far, yet it's such a good book? (I personally haven't read it, but everyone who has says it is...)

Haven't read it yet, will borrow it out from the library after I'm finished with the AWESOME book called Department 19. If you like CoD and you like Vampire stories (like dracula books, not gay Vampire Diaries) then you'll love this book.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card.

I used to list my favourite books as Discworld series, The Green mile, The Shawshank Redemption (although its only a short story). But then I read Enders Game and it just blew the others away.

The Harry Potter Series. I can't seem to stop rereading it. I like it very much.

If you want a more grown up series about magic, try:
The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan;
The Shadows of the Apt series by Adrian Tchaickovsky;
Spellwright by Blake Charlton;
FableHaven by Brandon Mull
or even try the Artemis Fowl series if you're not quite ready to move into serious fantasy.

Harry potter was ok, but nothing mind blowing

 

[Panzer Tacticer]

Hmm Enders Game eh, this thread has some potential after all.

My number one is no easy choice (oh and by the way, I have a quite immense library, but I have had 50 years to make it that way).

Dune by Frank Herbert would seem an easy choice. But all the more so if you add the entire series.

Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is impossible to not mention.

Massive fan of Terry Brooks because of Sword of Shanara.

But Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule is also a major hit with me.

But those are all fiction too.

Now if you want a book to reeeeeeally get an effect, I say try reading Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. Because it is not fiction, and the thing is, after reading it, odds are you can never look at all the absolute bullshit of this world the same way ever again. Just try and care about the Bible after seeing the world properly.

Light of Other Days by Arthur C Clarke will also really blow you away for how it makes you think about things you would not normally spend any time thinking about.

Necro-bump FTW?

Anyway, read this book "Keeper" recently. Being a football fan, it's a refreshing take on one of the most underrated positions in football. The story is a bit of a reach, but otherwise, it's fine.

 

[machomuu]

If we're necro-bumping, then Dragonball Z

Otherwise, To Kill A Mockingbird.

 

[AlanJohn]

Well its hard to say...
I LOVED the harry potter series.
And I love the Eragon books.

 

[adamshinoda]

Harry Potter series

Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi

 

[Youkai]

Well for the better known ones I would say " The Wave " by Morton Rhue

else I would say books like " Das Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod " are great ... well nothing for non Germans but yeah ... its about officially wrong used language in several daily aspects.

I Am Number Four is a great read.
