Soooo... Any suggestions? Recommendations? I'm a big Harry Potter fan. I love Phillip Pullman's works, Kenneth Oppel, Catherine Fisher, Paolini, fantasy stuffs. :P

Oh, I read Divergent a a little while ago. I liked the book -but not immensely. Some things just seemed a bit, well, staged, if you know what I mean. And predictable. Anyone else read it? What are your takes? :)


Well, I have many suggestions. Have you read anything by Tamora Pierce? It's all great fantasy.

I'm going to second this and add that if you haven't, you really should. She's a great author. I'd recommend Terrier if you're looking for something a little bit more mature, and Wild Magic or The First Adventure if you just want kickass fantasy.

I loved Terrier, Bloodhound, and I'm currently reading Mastiff. I also read the Wild Magic series and The First Adventure, but I need to read the last book of both series.

I love her books even though I've read only the the books I own, which adds up to something like five or six.
I would recommend them.

"House" by Frank Peretti and Ted Decker
"Artemis Fowl" (there are 8 books in the series) by Eoin Colfer
"Tales of the Frog Princess" (there are 7 books in the series) by E. D. Baker
"Hero" by Walt Morey
"Cat's Magic" by Margaret Greaves
"Cat in the Mirror" by Mary Stolz
"The Annotated Brothers Grimm" by the Brothers Grimm
"The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica" (there are 5 books in the series) by James A. Owen
"The Buried Covenant" by Shawn P. Keenan

Yep. I've got a ton more, but give those a shot. They're all for someone who loves fantasy, except for "Hero". That's just a good book that I would recommend to ANYONE. :)
"The Buried Covenant" is sorta-kinda fantasy. It's more of an adventure book, though. ;)

Has anyone here read the Tomorrow series by John Marsden? I am on the second book and they are pretty amazing.

Does anyone have any good books? I need to read and I have read all the ones that have been suggested above.

Jack Kerouac, On the Road


“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.”

Tomorrow Series?
Is one of those called "The Tomorrow Code"? Because that book was really, really interesting.

No, the first book in the series is "Tomorrow, when the war began." They are kind of old and small and don't have the most amazing writing but the plot is magnificent.

Hello people, I had the best idea for a book: Written in Pig Latin!
~Apterchay Oneway~
Ancay ouyay eadray isthay? Ifway ouyay ancay ouyay areway ethay estbay riendfay Iway ouldway everway antway.

hehehehe, by the way, just read "The Forgotten Warrior" (newest warrior cats book by Erin Hunter) it only took one day!
I'm Quitting CS, my bff will continue all my characters, you wont notice much because she's been RPing for me a lot. I will let her log on to this account because if she doesn't than Dewclan, my warrior cat RP, will have a VERY outdated list. Her Username will be Willowkit17, like mine was. GoodBye CS, My pets are up for grabs ;)

Oh! That is so sweet! Thank you.

But I think there should be a chapter pig latin and then a chapter morse code!
