__X__Naomi__X__ Silent Dagger Definitely Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Vampires, romance, and a bit of a thriller. They're really good. Yeah, Twilight is a very good read.
when my friend first read the book she ould not let anyone touch the book. I readi t twice in a week. I never read books twice. This week I've started reading The Wind Singer by... I can't seem to remember the author. It's a bit boring at the moment, I'm not very far into yet, but it seems comfusing because the author has made up his own little "Swear words" My school library has nothing better to read that I haven't already read...

AerionDyseti I recommend The Girl With The Silver Eyes for anyone interested in sci-fi/fantasy... It's a simple book, middle school level, but still a fascinating read. I loved that book as well. I read it in about a day; I stayed up until about two in the morning to finish it. I wish there were a sequel. I really want to know what happens next. The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. Probably an older book, but it is incredible. The Hillfolk are so cool; it's unbelievable. And their horses are so well-trained. 4laugh

I'd have to say Eragon or Eldest. They're my favorites.

You must read The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King....It is seven books long and awesome. I love the books. The first book is entitled "Gunslinger" hence my username. Even the number 19 in my username is significant in the series. It is a must read.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
It is about the adolescence and adulthood of Elphaba Thropp aka the Wicked Witch of the West. I thought it was really amazing. If you've seen the musical or listen to it, do not even think that the storylines are similar. There is a lot more cynicism and politics than I even imagined, nothing flowery or bubbly about it at all. The musical and book are worlds apart, just to forewarn you.

All right, another shameless plug for Roger Zelazny, but he is a wonderful writer if you can read his writings. It takes a certain kind of intellegence to enjoy it, and if you pick it up and like it you will never put it down. I mean these books will haunt your life. I suggest starting off with one of his short story collections like Defender of Camelot, but if you like him then go out and buy The Great Book of Amber... I just must warn you, Roger Zelazny does not write endings... I mean I have read a lot of his books and not a single one made me happy at the end. I was always left craving more, wondering about loose ends, or wanting a sequel. Yes for several books I wanted a sequel, especially Jack of Shadows.

Well, the last book I read was 'The Sound Of Laughter'. For all of you who are unfamiliar with this book, it is the autobiography of Peter Kay (An extremely humerous comedian from Bolton, England). It is a rib-tickling read and I highly recommend it.

Hmm.. The Truth About Forever I don't remember who it's by, but it's a great book, I couldn't put it down till 3 in the morning one day. That's just how good it is.

Alright, to show that I'm a true geek, I have been reading a book called The Quark and the Jauguar by Murray Gell-Mann as can be found here.I am only about 50 pages into it, but it describes ideas in math and physics in such a way that I'm not getting bored.

XChinaBelleX Another fantastic 'children's' story is Peter Pan by James Barrie. I agree! Have you read the "official sequel" as it is called: Peter Pan in Scarlet? It is pretty good and faithful to the spirit of the original. I prefer the original of course, pirate but the sequel brings new twists and turns and interesting sides to all our favorite characters. I would nominate it as book of week since it is relatively new (published Oct 2006).
