The immortal Nicholas Flemel series
Brain Jacked
The Palace of Laughter
The Paladin Prophecy
Sherlock Holmes

Harry Potter
The Artemis Fowl series
throught the looking glass
Sherlock Holmes
and war and piece.... the fifth time

Harry Potter
The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica
Inkheart trilogy

Divergent
The Wheel of Time Series
7 Realms Series
Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

favorite has gotta be the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series by Michelle Paver. ouo

1984 and The Giver.
They're both pretty short books, but they hold a lot of meaning.

Saga of Darren Shan
Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Battle Royale and Le Petit Prince.
One of them is a kid's book, but it's amazing~

My favourite book series is by far the Xanth series by Piers Anthony.
They were my bedtime stories as a young child,
During Primary school, I'd wait for DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time just to reach in my bag and pull out a Xanth book,
They've been the subject of my speeches,
They've been inspiration for my art (Which was more like splodges of paint, since I was like 5 when I liked painting),
When I'm sad and told to go to my "Happy Place", I'd go to Xanth.

The Xanth series has been really inspirational to me, and if my Dad hadn't introduced me to it, I might not be the person I am today.

SO READ IT!!!!

Ranger's Apprentice (John Flanagan)
Odd Thomas (Dean Koontz)

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
by: Michael Scott

Ive read 5 of the 6 main books. It is a great series with 2 side story books.

the kingkiller chronicle, if someone has time to read it, read it! it's one of the best fictional book i ever read.

Another very good book is ready player one, if you had your teen ages at the 80 or you like videogames it's the book for you;

I for one love The Enemy Series by Charlie Higson
fist book: The Enemy
Second book: The Dead
Third book: The Fear
I strongly suggest for anyone who loves zombies and grossly descriptive language!!!!
I personally read the Dead first and it was amazing but i dont think i would have continued the series if i read the first book first... but there about two different surviving groups so the first and second are interchangeable but i say keep the third as the third no matter what

The Great Gatsby

The Giver by Lois Lowry

You should read this it is really good :D

The Gone series. I'm on the second to last book and I freaking love it. Everyone 15 and over in a town called Perdido Beach and the nearby Coates Academy disappear suddenly. No flash, no poof, just there one second and gone the next. A dome 20 miles in diameter with the center at the nearby nuclear power plant encompass the area. People are starting to mutate and gain powers. Think X-men mutants but all under 15 with no adult supervision. Animals are also starting to mutate, so they have flying snakes, killer worms, and talking coyotes. Sam Temple, the protagonist, is trying to find a way out of the dome and keep kids from killing each other when psychotic Cain Soren comes down from Coates to take over.

You should all read this, now. I'm serious, do it.

actually i have a few: the entire 'Maximum Ride' series 8books total&'The Fallen'1&2

>>33 Ahh I love that series! It's sooo amazing. It's just like what it said on the back of the book-If Stephen King wrote Lord of the Flies, this would be that book. Fun fact- Michael Grant, the author, is married to K.A. Applegate, author of the Animorphs series. It has been suggested that Edilio is and expy of Marco.

Classics like Victor Hugo's Les Misérables and Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol always are with my favourites however I love psychological thrillers and horrors most of the time such as: Kokuhaku/Confessions, A Ripper's Life, We need to talk about Kevin and Live Once Die Once, all of which explore the depth of Human nature and society. It facinates me. XD Don't get me wronf I love all types of books, always give a book ago before judging..I've read the Twilight series and 50 Shades of Grey...which had very bad Language skills used in many sections :/ Also.I have read the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit both of which I adored and Of course Harry Potter. That is my childhood and I can gladly say I am a potterhead heh x Recently I've read Cloud Atlas which is a unique book I recommend as it tackles the issue of death and the concept of time...even maybe time travel? Dr Who fans may enjoy haha ^ o ^ Anyway hope I have not intruded on anything, just randomly putting this hear for anone who wishes to read.
Have a lovely day/evening/night xx

Unwind
The Skinjacker Trilogy
Full Tilt
Duckling Ugly
(Yes these are by the same author, Neal Shusterman, because he is the best author (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) )

>>38 Oooooo. I love The Unwind and Skinjacker trilogies. Only the first two books of Unwind are out, but it's awesome. I read all of the Skinjacker Trilogy.

I'll give you guys a bit of a synopsis.

The Skinjacker Trilogy begins with a car accident that kills two young teenagers, Allie and Nick. The two aren't wearing seatbelts and the two fly through their respect windshield, crashing into each other on their way to the light. This knocks them off their path and cause them to be stuck on earth. As they soon learn, they're not the only children who failed to move on. In fact, there is a second world entirely peopled by the young dead that inhabits the same space as the living world, but does not interact with it.

Adults never end up in the Everlost, but sometimes objects or even whole buildings do. Your appearance and abilities are dictated by what you remember. If you remember having long hair, you hair will continue to grow longer and longer until it reaches lengths that are impossible. If you remember your braces as a prominent feature, they keep becoming bigger and more noticeable.

Allie's memory is sharper than most and she soon discovers a unique ability, skinjacking. The ability to jump into the body of a living person and control them. Thus the name of the series.

Unwind is less supernatural. In the future, abortion is illegal. Instead, children between the ages of 13 and 18 may be "unwound" for spare parts. The act of unwinding entails being taken apart and having your parts distributed to people who need them. People have entire limbs replaced via this process.

Three kids slated for unwinding from very different backgrounds run into each other when one, Connor, manages to escape from the police. Connor is an unruly, wild kid who's parents cannot cope with him any longer (although he wasn't any worse than many of the kids I know), Risa is a state ward who is being unwound because of budget cuts, and Lev has be "tithed", given up by his religious family for the purpose of "giving him back to God", who actually believes in his purpose. These unlikely allies must survive until they are old enough to escape the cruel world that evolved from ours.

>>39 He left us at such a cliffhanger on the second book Unwholly :c
I can't wait till the third book comes out!

The Pendragon Series. If I had to pick one, it would be Book Six: The Rivers of Zadaa.

>>41 i love that series

i suggest the maze runner series. in a futuristic world of 2300, there is a huge solar flare. this flare hits earth seconds after it is noticed, so there is no warning. this flare scorched the equatorial line, and melted the ice caps, riseing the sea and pushing the surviving population closer to each other. in the confusion, a deadly virus from a bio weapons area escapes and begins to kill everyone. this is called "the flare", and mutates quickly to make people crazy sadistic animals.
the first book starts years afterwards. a scientific group, gathered by the last goverments is useing tests on people to try to solve the mystery of the cure. the series is about a subjects struggle for survival, and his path to the truth.

SUPER GOOD BOOK, YOU ALL MUST READ!

So a lot of mine have already been mentioned, but after a quick scan (sorry if these have been said) some of those that I don't believe have been mentioned:

To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) - absolutely gorgeous and delightful. A lot of people hear you do it at school and think it must therefore be horrid but it is actually one of my favourite books ever and it is just a brilliant read.

Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) - seriously, persevere with this one. I know it's a difficult read, but until you've read it you have no idea how absolutely HILARIOUS it is, and of course, it's a brilliant romance for all those who love that sort of stuff. Not at all soppy though, or trust me, i'd hate it. Amazingly, it's really well liked by both genders and all ages. All I say is don't start and give up, you have to get into it and then you'll be hooked.

Some great authors (Some are Australian so I don't know how far abroad you can get their work) are:
Roald Dahl (surely he's been mentioned, how could he not be mentioned already?...must have missed it)
James Moloney (particularly Black Taxi for a good laugh)
Eva Ibbotson (Journey to the River Sea is my favourite)
Terry Pratchett (anything of his will be awesome)

and I've probably forgotten some, I read too many books. :) Enjoy

The last dog on earth
i just picked it off them shelf randomly but it is a really amazing book that shows love and friendship towards man's best friend :)

Everything Matters (Ron Currie Jr.)

The Book of Lost Things is an amazing book.

Oh, there are too many to say! I'll just name a few...
American Gods by Neil Gaiman--reading it right now and loving every second of it! I love all of his books; they are so deliciously dark and thought-provoking.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley--Possibly my all-time fave book!
1984 by George Orwell--I feel like many of the classic dystopias are more creative and more haunting than many of the modern ones.
If you want a thriller, Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman is a really captivating read.
My favorite romance is Every Day by David Levithan--So beautiful and really unique!

Wicked Lovely. (well i didn't know it was a series of books until later on, but I'd prefer just reading the first book instead, and i thought the front cover was pretty too! it was yellow and and kinda cool looking)
Dragonkeeper(it was a nice read, i know this one is a series of novels, but i only read the first book as well, but if i have time i might read the second one, since its about dragons and a young girl, kind of interesting to me)
Chinese Cinderella (its a nice book, a good plot overall i liked it, also a series , i've read 2 books from it. )
Mao's last dancer(well usually i prefer reading female protaganists more, but this was a nice book, the life of mao, the hardships he overcame, some sadness, and of course a happy ending. there's even some pics of mao and his family nearing the end of the book)
Evil Genius(well, it was about a young kid technology, nanobites and computer stuff and all, got me a bit hooked, and learnt some new things from it, )

Okay...
TMI and ID series (Cassie Clare)
Divergent (more than Insurgent)(Veronica Roth)
The Fault in Our Stars (John Green)
Looking For Alaska (John Green)
The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern)

My favourite series of all time is The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) contempary fantasy filled with aweome jokes and nerdy referances, light and easy to read.
There is also A Song of Ice and Fire (George R. R. Martin)the epic books that started with A Game of Thrones. An intricate storyline following many different characters over a vast intriguing world.

My favourite is Witcher

Hmm... This is just what I can think of off the top of my head but...
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, Jules Verne.
I really love the descriptions in this book, okay. Every time the professor said the name of some sea creature I didn't know about I'd race to my computer and google it. I found it really immersing.
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury.
This is just one of those books I think everyone should read.
1984, George Orwell.
Please just read it you'll thank me later.
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.
Again, just go and read it.
The Island Of Doctor Moreau, H.G. Wells.
PLEASE READ THIS YOU WILL LEARN FROM IT.

The entire Lord of The Rings Trilogy, including the Hobbit. Those, and what I've read of the first novel in the Game Of Thrones series. I'm a huge fan of medieval/fantasy works.

Alice in wonderland and Alice through the looking glass are very wonderful books to read.

"Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk and "One, No One and One Houndred Thousands" by Pirandello ^^

>>66 I had read the first book of the Game of Thrones but I heard the later books were not so good, being too draggy plot wise. Not to mention I may be dead before the author completes the series, so I a not sure if I want to read the next installment or not.

Through her Eyes by Jennifer Archer and sense Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was already said and I recommend that one highly I'll also say my third favorite book The Holly Machine by Chris Beckette

So many good books i'll add the greywalker series my kat richardson it's amazing and i'm surprised not to see "Ready Player One" here forgot the authors name but if you like gaming and anime and sifi movies and 80s movies this is a must

The Dark Tower (Stephen King)

Watership Down by Richard Adams.

Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
The Mortal Instruments
Howl's Moving Castle

Maximum Ride
Hunger Games
Percy Jackson and the Olympians

The stories from Edgar Allen Poe.

>>78 Ahhh thank you forgotto add that one. perks is amazing as well. Made me cry, as well as the movie.

The Catcher in the Rye JD Salinger
Norwegian wood Haruki Murakami
To kill a mockingbird Harper Lee
Looking for alaska john green

The Warrior Heir
The Wizard Heir
The Dragon Heir
The Demon King
The Exiled Queen
The Gray Wolf Throne
The Crimson Crown
Look her up at cindachima.com

Cirque du Freak
by Darren Shan

the manga is really good too :)

>>80 Perfect choices, Bump
Ive already commented but Catcher in the Rye is amazing

Steven Brust's vlad taltos series. I liked that series alot. Its more for the older readers out there but it's a fantasy series about an assassin named Vlad Taltos, an easterner (term used for humans) in a world where humans are the lowest of the low in class, status, and manners. Glad runs his own private business of assassin work and has his own training in sorcery and other magic at his disposal. Alongside him is his winged scaly jhereg companion (jheregs are like wyrms but a little smaller ) . Anyways check these books out, the series isn't very chronological, more epsodic on Vlad's adventures and experience ( the author leaves a note for each book in what order should be chronological if you want to read it that way)

Edmund Niziurski "Awantura w Niekłaju"

I loved Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children :D but also I enjoyed Enders Game by orson scott card, The Starters by Lissa Price, The Maze Runner by james dashner, Divergent by Veronica Roth and The Selection kiera cass
I can't choose just one XD

I'm a huge fan of Glen Cooks "Black Company" series. It's dark, and it shatters most preconceptions about what fantasy can accomplish. Told by Croaker, the physician of the Black Company, the books follow a mercenary group in their travels and battles on both sides of great wars and falling countries. Take a look if you're into ark fantasy; you won't be disappointed.

The Art of War.

>>1 >>70 >>86 Is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children good? I've been eyeing it for some months now and wondering what if I'll enjoy it.

1Q84
The Lord of the Rings
House of Leaves

I'm a fan of the hunger game novels even though I know a lot of you out there have read the series probley Its worth your while to read it if you haven't

the series follows a girl who is entered in a fight to the death with 24 other children.

A few favorites... :)

>105 Nice I can totally relate to the Catcher in the Rye

Angel in Armor.

I'm currently reading Jhumpa Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies"...I guess it technically counts as a book, even though it's actually a colleciton of her short stories. Her writing style is really awesome--you guys should check her out. ;)

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

On Fires Wings (Final Dance) by christine golden <3

I love anything by Dean Koontz but my favorite is the Odd Thomas series. I also love the Preston and Child series with Pendergast, the main character. Big fan of Steven King. Can't wait to read the sequel to The Shining. There aren't many books that I won't read. I've even picked up the dictionary in moments of desperation.

hunger games series and the percy jackson ones too and anything else tht is fun exciting has adventre and maybe a hint of romance

Bump~
This isn't fiction, but anyone interested in philosophy should pick up a copy of Rene Descartes' Discourse on Method and Related Writings.

huge fan of james herbert, dean koontz, stephen king and maybe a little ramsey campbell.
I've read most of all of em but my say top few... hmmm
Koontz' Fear Nothing and Seize the night and herberts 48 and others. I dont see any mention of herbert so far lol i recommend for all other koontz lovers!

i'm sorry if i'm such a kid....
The False Prince from the Ascendance trilogy
and of course, the Harry Potter Series

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The mind games between Raskolnikov and Porfiry Petrovich reminded me of Death Note's conflict between Light and L...

Hmm... I think my favorite stories are the original Sherlock Holmes stories. My favorite is The Sign of Four. I just really love the characterization; how Holmes always acts like the cold, calculating machine he is described as when deep down he's a total softie. I guess that's most of them though...

Bump.

im not sure if its in here already but the Mortal Instruments series is probably one of the best ive read
and a song of ice and fire, by george r.r. martin, of course

We were required to read a book by my school district during the summer entitled The Book Thief, written by Markus Zusak. It's a heartbreaking story about a girl who loves reading in a poor village of Germany during World War II. While it's nothing too special or groundbreaking and I probably would not have read it were it not mandatory, it is a very well written and emotion-sparking book, and it would not hurt to read it.

oedipus rex
day of the triffids
the crying of lot 49

This series you can only get on Amazon I think.
The Medium
Possession
Evermore
They are by CJ Archer, she is amazing You will love her.
There is also Before I Go To Sleep which is also a very good book. Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes books are amazing as well.

These ones I recommend:
---> Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky (light horror themed,atmospheric, adventure novel)
---> Fevre dream by George R.R. Martin ( light horror themed,vampire thriller novel )

The Time Machine. Really awesome book. (By H.G. Wells)

1. The Legend of Drizzt
2. The Harry Potter series
3. The Inheritance Cycle
4. The Bartimaeus Trilogy
5. The Inkworld trilogy

Def the Ransom Riggs book mentioned by op. I bought it and loved it. An amazing book.

I think if I say John Green you will all know what I mean without me having to type the name so that i dont cry a waterfall on my keyboard.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton... It's the only book that I've read more than three times that wasn't a manga... and the only book that made me have so many mixed emotions.

Crime and Punishment!
-Dostoevsky

Glad to see some Dostoevsky being read this day and age.

Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon
Life: A User's Manual - Georges Perec
White Noise - Don Delillo

And if you can dare to swallow it...
Ulysses - James Joyce

Dragonhaven - Robin McKinley

... Well, the first two aren't really "books" but qualify as literature so:
Death Note
Bakuman
Chronicles of Narnia
LIfe of Pi
Les Miserablés
(And many more; it's hard to choose..)

ANY THING ABOUT SCIENCE AND OTAKU!!

I Am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine & The Fall of Five. All of them by Pittacu lore, It's pretty amazing to be honest!

Divergent by veronica roth! its super good

divergent is in my top 10

anyone love the mortal instruments by cassandra clare?

Goethe's Faust
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein
Edgar Allan Poe - the fall of the house of usher
Suzanne Collins- Hunger Games
JK Rowling- Harry Potter * love the 3rd book though*
CS Lewis - Narnia (favorite one is 5th book)
Death Note- Another Note Los Angeles Beyond Birthday Murder Case
(Another note LA BB Murder Case :P)
And I've started on Durarara light novel. So far, so awesome!!

not in any order:
Golden Compass-
Leviathan-Scott Westerfield
Skyship academy: The Pearl Wars
any Harry Potter book
the Durarara manga

.

Proxy - Alex London
The Horatio Wilkes Mysteries - Alan Gratz

i really enjoyed reading the Leviathan series, same goes with the Harry Potter one. Life of Pi is actually a pretty good book. There's also Princess Academy, The House of the Scorpion, Ender's Game (THE MOVIE ASDF;ASLGKH CANNOT WAIT, and read a bit of Sherlock Holmes (I know, i'm planning in read more actually). I've only read one of the books of "The Secrets of Immortal Nicholas Flamel, The Alchemist, Coraline, and The Giver. There is a lot more, but I can't really remember them all ._.

Read the Fault In our stars

^ The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is by far one of my favorite things.

It goes without saying that Neil Gaiman's works are enchanting. I often find myself thinking about the stories long after I've finished them. Especially Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

Good Omens, a collaboration by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is hilarious and explosive and god damn amazing. I still haven't gotten over Crowley's cheekbones nor Aziraphale's perfectly manicured fingers.

And then there's The Little Prince, guaranteed to give the reader a smothering feeling of nostalgia.

(please don't get me started on books, i will literally never stop talking)

I read The Graveyard Book several years ago and still think about it a lot. It's interesting, especially since I didn't really like it when I first read it.

Anyway, I'd like to say a few recommendations of my own! Right now, I really love The Book Thief, Eon, and The Hobbit. I could go on listing, but I'll stick to those three. The Book Thief takes place in WWII, and follows the life of a young German girl named Liesel, her friends, family, and the books she stole. It's sad, but very good. Eon is about a cross-dressing girl who trains to work with spiritual dragons. The dragons' powers are channeled through their (male) humans and are used to control weather, among other things. It's an interesting read. The Hobbit is, of course, a classic, and is being made into a movie series which is pretty cool in my opinion. It follows Bilbo Baggins at fifty years old going on an adventure with a host of dwarves and a wizard to defeat a dragon. It was one of the first books I ever remember reading and I've never grown tired of it.

Manusia Setengah Salmon by Raditya Dika.

It's a nice book. Really, the joke inside was perfect!

I just finished the Matched trilogy and I have to say the books are amazing I'd read up to 400 pages a day.

Mistborn Trilogy or pretty much anything written by Brandon Sanderson. His books are what got me to like reading in the first place.

Stephan Hawking's A Brief History of Time. This book should be mandatory for any physics student in any grade. Actually, it should be mandatory for everyone.

Read it.

carrie ( stephen king )
the lords of the rings ( john ronald reuel tolkien )

Looking For Alaska.

Wardstone Chronicles, by Joseph Delaney. Relatively unknown series, but one of the best novel saga's I've ever read.

Legend [trilogy(Marie Lu)]
Giver [quartet(Lois Lowry)]
Maze Runner (and other books by James Dashner)
Divergent [trilogy(Veronica Roth)]


I have more but...////

The Fault in Our Stars (John Green)

Skulduggery Pleasant(Derek Landy)

By far one of my favourite books. It's a series with 8 books now and a side book called The Maleficent Seven. It's amazing, anyone who likes magic and bad jokes should read it for sure.

The Kingkiller Chronicle (Patrick Rothfuss)
1984 (George Orwell)
Think of a Number (John Verdon)
The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco)

>>17 Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
A series of great adventures bound to keep you on your toes (or at the edge of your seat).

For more MATURE stories (hey, they're my faves, okay? You don't need to read these. >.>):

Lothaire by Kresley Cole (part of the Immortals After Dark series)
A gripping tale of love, lust, intrigue, and the supernatural. No need to read the other books to understand the story. Proceed with caution, though, because it's VERY explicit.

The Cynster Novels series by Stephanie Laurens
Utterly brilliant for a series of Regency England adult romance books. And the witty banters are just divine. Will make you want to know everything about the Cynster dynasty.

Tolkien's books, Harry potter, The hunger games, and a book called Green angel by Alice Hoffman (many others too, though)

The last apprentice books, fairest, everblue, graceling (and the two books that follow it...) and the septimus heap book. They are all my favorites.

First off, love the Ascendance Trilogy written by Jennifer A. Neilson (the final book is coming out soon, I don't want it to end just yet)

There's also the whole thing on Maze Runner (James Dashner) and the Inkheart Trilogy. The Hunger Games was good but everyone recommends that anyways there's also almost all of the John Green books (god I love him) and a book I just recently started reading called Time Bound by Rysa Walker (the prologue got me hooked, it starts off in Chicago, October 1893). I think that's it but I'll probably come back with more (started like five new books yay!!).

"El libro de los héroes " the saga Its very good i think

Mm. I have read a number of books in my life time... but the one with the most lasting impression on me would be Winger.

Some great recommendations, though, would be OCD Love Story, Fangirl, Heaven is Paved With Oreos, Ink, and of course, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

>>163 I just finished Fangirl, it was great! I haven't read any of the others, though.

The Rot and Ruin series is good for anyone who likes the post apocalypse or zombie stuff. The series follows Benny Imura, a kid who just reached the age where he has to start working to keep getting rations in his town. He can't seem to find any jobs he enjoys so his older brother takes him out zombie hunting. There's four books in the series (I've only read the first two at this point).

Currently reading "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt; I'm also halfway through "Red Sky in Morning" by Paul Lynch. I have a reading assignment for this course to read "Dear Life: Stories" by Alice Munro.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!! :)
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Ohemgee. Okay. Let's start with the book I had just recently finished today. That is Cress; the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series b Marissa Meyer.

Uhmm... I really cried during Winger. Oh, Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher was super good! And Heaven is Paved with Oreos was good! And so was An Abundance of Katherines! At the moment, I'm reading Everyday by David Levithan, starting today. Interesting concept, and I'm loving it so far.

So yeah. There. Shame on me for reading, right?

A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Under the Dome (Stephen King)
Erebos (Ursula Poznanski), even though the end kinda disappointed me...
The Hobbit (J. R. R. Tolkien)
Death Note - Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Case (Ishin Nishio)

These guys know what's up. Neil Gaiman is the man. I haven't read American Gods yet, but I've read every one of his short stories, Coraline, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett), and Neverwhere. Anyways...

A Song of Ice and Fire by G.R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones)
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Dune by Frank Herbert

1984 by George Orwell

There are so much more but these are the only ones that are coming to mind right now x_x Oh, and honestly I don't care what anyone says, The Hunger Games and Divergent are horribly written.

Plainsong, by Kent Haruf. I feel like this novel is easy to read and has a character for every reader to relate to.

Inferno by Dan Brown
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Groosham Grange by Anthony Horowitz
The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
I got a lot more but I already forgot the title. -.-"
The books of Paulo Coelho are really nice though, some here are easy to read while the others might not be. Well then enjoy reading~

I'm pretty fond of books by Emma Bull and her husband, Will Shetterly.

I think I've read Finder enough to have it memorized by now, and War for the Oaks is an old favorite too.

Elsewhere and Nevernever are great for a better look at the setting of the Borderlands novels.

Basically, I highly recommend these novels for anyone who likes modern fantasy. The writing is good, the dialogue is amusing, the characters are enjoyable, and the plotting is spectacular. If you're a fan of Niel Gaiman or Diana Wynne Jones you'll probably love these novels.

everything that written by agatha christie

Anything written by Tom Clancy. Also im really into Sifi books and gothic short stories.

Anyone looking for a good read should go for Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray"...Its a classic that I love to read and reread when I get the chance.

The Redemption of Althalus by Devid and Leigh Eddings, Its still my favourite book fter many years. It had wonderful characthers, like Althalus and Emmy. The storyline was good too.

And also, if anyone is looking for a story that has very good characthers, read Legend of the Sun Knight by Yu Wo, its translated to English on Princerevolution. It definatly Worth Reading, it Always makes me laugh and cry ^^

1/2 Prince by Yu Wo is also a very good story.
