Books you should read.

[Jukka the Sling]

Wait... you read Twilight? I heard they were lame - no offense.

[Jetthebinturong]

......VAMPIRES ARE VICIOUS CREATURES THAT HUNT IN THE NIGHT AND PREY ON THE INNOCENT! Couldn't she just have created a new species?

[Rusvul]

From what I've heard, it's badly written. My mom read them, she said that they were somewhat compelling stories, but that the writing kinda ruins it.

[Romsca]

I've heard it's a stupid book about a cheesy love triangle and an abusive relationship. Not going to say any more, other than I CANNOT STAND most romance books. If they're not inappropriate (though most of them are) they make me jealous and mad because I've been friends with plenty of boys but none of them have had the goshdarn courage to ask me out! So yeah, I wonder why it seems to work out for everyone else but me. I'm sorry I'm just kind of venting my frustration about those kind of books. Plus they're just way too emotional

I prefer books about philosophy/psychology/history

[The Skarzs]

Emotions are overrated.

[Jetthebinturong]

I don't like romance for the sake of romance, romance for the sake of character development or romance for the sake of plot are fine (unless it's in a romance novel because that just counts as romance for the sake of romance)

Going to go ahead and find my time tested list

Tied for my top favourite book series of all time are The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica and The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by James A. Owen and Michael Scott respectively

Chronicles

[close]

Secrets

[close]

Then of course we have Tolkien

After Tolkien comes Terry Pratchett with the Discworld series which are too numerous to post here so I won't

After Pratchett we have The Bartimaeus Trilogy and its prequel book, The Ring of Solomon by Jonathon Stroud

Bartimaeus

[close]

After that comes the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage

Heap

Then it's The Wardstone Chronicles by Joseph Delaney. I am ashamed to say I've only read up to The Spook's Battle

Wardstone

[close]

After that my pick is Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

Pleasant? Not really

[close]

The final book will be called The Dying of the Light. Maleficent Seven and Armageddon Outta Here are not part of the main series but I highly recommend getting Maleficent Seven if you get the rest.

Next it's Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds

Revelation

[close]

My next choice is The Books of Beginning by John Stephens

Books

Unfinished, the final book will be called The Black Reckoning

Then I say the Inkworld trilogy by Cornelia Funke

Next, Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, I have not yet read the second series but I plan to.

Then I choose The Joshua Files by M. G. Harris

I was wondering if anyone has read any of those books or if anyone is planning to read any of the books that have been suggested in this thread

[Wylder Treejumper]

Emotions are overrated.

Hear, hear!

My line: Logic can solve any problem in the world except girls.


Fantasy people: Read the original Dragonlance!

[Feles]

Golden Compass
Subtle Knife

[Jetthebinturong]

[The Skarzs]

To answer your earlier question, Jet, I am planning on reading the Percy Jackson series.

What do you mean by that?

[321tumbler]

My summer reading plan revolves around reading every Newberry Medal Award winning book with a few others mixed in. Would anyone else like to join the challenge.

ahh, the Percy Jackson seris, not bad at all

also, The Ribbajack, another book by Brian Jacques

[Romsca]

The Percy Jackson series...

I tried to get into that, but I didn't feel like reading about annoying twelve-year-olds who go on an impossible journey with fake gods. I read the first two and just got bored

*sigh* Sometimes I don't have enough of an imagination to appreciate such things, sorry

An impressive and ambitious resolve.
