The Wheel of Time series and The Sword of Truth series. Read them. Love them. I don't know which book you're on in
The Wheel of Time (aka
WoT), but I'm currently waiting for the last book, and I don't know whether to be happy, sad, or angry. No doubt, the idea behind the series was great, but then Robert Jordan began to get a bit free... And then you have random characters who get more time in the novel than the main characters. Oh, not to mention that all the females are so damn stereotypical that mostly all readers are offended. Book 11 set things back on track, and apparently book 12 will "end" things... Rumour is it (book 12 that is) might be a tome (1000-2000 pages). And Robert Jordan has some disease, could be life threatening I think… Which is why his editors are urging him to be “efficient”.
Nonetheless, I like the series.
mrgreen The Sword of Truth is a series I think I need to get into. I've heard good stuff about it, so, that's on my list.

Not really. Do you read Artemis Fowl or Lord of the Rings?
lol i think i got thorugh 1 page of lord of the rings and put the book down... not sure where it is now. and I havent read Artemis Fowl. my friend said it was good though
The
Lord of the Rings books suffered from being too descriptive. J. R. R. Tolkein is a good man, but the books made me eyes burn and my brain numb. The movies though, were top notch.
The Artemis Fowl books are pretty neat, though I've stopped reading them... I did see the next book in the series in my school library, so I'll move onto that one pretty quick. >_>

I’m on the 7th book of the Pendragon series but I haven’t been reading it:/
I love Pendragon. I don't know why, but there's something about the series and the villain especially, that chills me. Unfortunately, I stopped at book 5. Haven't found the other books yet... ><
Gah, those were some late replies, but I got through them. ^^
As for some great reads:
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin. One man’s dreams has the power to affect the real world, making the stuff of his imagination reality—often times, an unsettling one. Another man’s ambition grows so much that he wishes to wield this god-like power—with terrifying results. This book is top notch. You won’t be disappointed. Le Guin knows what makes humans human. The porse is direct yet profound. Coolness factor of I don't know how much. Try
The Dispossessed, another book of hers, if you want writing at its ebst. Deep book, but easy to swallow. Makes other authors look stale.
Phantoms by Dean Koontz. You like scary? You like being afraid to turn the page? Then this book is for you. Evil has never been so absolute, so complete, as in this book. Might start off a bit slow, but picks up speed.
Misery by Stephen King. Brings a whole new meaning to “I’m your #1 fan”. It’s gruesome, unbelievably so, and relentless. Stephen King, I believe, was created in Mordor, or someplace equally twisted. Good man. Try
Pet Sematary or
Desperation,
Cell, The Stand, or his
Dark Tower series for some other good reads.
The Ancient by Muriel Grey. This is not a book for young ones. Its is creepy. It is scary. It is cool.
(
Phantoms, Misery, and
The Ancient contain material not suitable for young readers. You’ve been warned.)
Any book by Orson Scott Card. Gotta love him. He knows how to write.
Currently reading:
Whispers by Dean Koontz… Not impressed. Pretty boring actually. And I’m halfway through the book… Whee… >_>
