Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, one of my favorite books. It is fantasy, set in the time of King Authur, told from the perspective of women. Margaine, a.k.a. Morgan Le Fay, is the main character.

*jumps up and down*

I loved that book! Bradley's books were a joy to read(for me.)

Ender's Game

Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series

*jumps up and down again*

Card is a killer writer. I got a bunch of his books and his science fiction is just great!

Martin's.... well great read through and through. Been a while since I have heard anything much on the series.

Neil Shusterman

*tired now, but jumps up and down anyways*

I haven't read the particular book you referenced but I have read several of his books[speeding bullet, downsiders, shadowclub to name 3 of the ones I recall off the top of my head] and he is a good author from what I have seen.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, one of my favorite books. It is fantasy, set in the time of King Authur, told from the perspective of women. Margaine, a.k.a. Morgan Le Fay, is the main character.

I loved that book! Bradley's books were a joy to read(for me.)

I want to finish the Avalon series. I only read Mists and Priestess of Avalon. On an aside, I just finished Firebrand, which I loved.

YA Fiction:
Anything by~
Scott Westerfield
Nancy Werlin
Georgia Rennison
Someone Haddix (can't remember her first name)

and lots and lots more....I read a LOT and I really don't feel like typing out everything :P

[eestlinc]

Personal recommendations are <u>Catch-22</u>, by Joseph Heller, and anything by Kurt Vonnegut, namely <u>Slaughterhouse Five</u> and <u>Breakfast of Champions</u>.

I like Cat's Cradle even more than SH5 and BoC, although Vonnegut in general is just amazing. One of my favorite books is Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar. it's originally in Spanish under the title Rayuela. Very strange and funny.

I totally reccommend the Scorpoin Shards series...it's very deep, even for YA reading. I just can't remember the seperate book titles now...!

[ShunNakamura]

Someone Haddix (can't remember her first name)

GAHHH! I should now this .... but I don't *googles*

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HER. Margaret Peterson Haddix.

Shadow Children! Excellent Series, though I really need to get hold of the couple I haven't read. I haven't really read any of her other books though .

Kinda sad... when I look through this list the authors or the books on a large chunk of them ring a bell to say the least .

I totally reccommend the Scorpoin Shards series...it's very deep, even for YA reading. I just can't remember the seperate book titles now...!

Odd the site I see lists Scorpion shards as a book under the Star Shards series(which consists of Scorpion Shards, Thief of Souls, and Shattered Sky). Anyways, I will remember to pick them up next time I have some spare cash.... parents never take me book shopping anymore, the amount I can blow on books is astonishing.


Also a good series if you don't mind them being a bit simple is Broken Sky written by Chris Wooding. Enjoyable enough read though it isn't on the level of Orson Scott Card or those on Card's level.

Anything by Brett Easton Ellis (Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, Less Than Zero). His writing is bleak, darkly funny, yet incredibly thoughtful at the same time; definetly one of my favorite authors.

Also, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

[Jessweeee♪]

I wanted to read the "among the...." series, but I read most of my books from the public library, and they never have the whole collection of any series. I've started so many there just to be left hanging when I can't get to the next book, or even more annoying is how they have 234567 and not 1
or 1 5 8 9 and 17

[ValkyrieWing]

Star Shards! That's right...duh.

Also, the Kushiel series by Jaqueline Carey: Kusheil's Dart, Kushiel's Chosen, Kushiel's Avatar. I can't wait for the newest one to come out in paperback! A little magic, a little eroticism, a little battle....NICE all around.

I'm currently reading Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho and I can fully recommend that. Great great book so far.

Coelho is really good stuff, and he has a really varied and distinguished writing style. By him I'd recommend "The Alchemist". Lovely, it is!

For people into plays:
The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde

I'd recommend that to anyone and everyone! It's hilarious, satirical and wonderfully written. I really want to go see it actually acted out.

[Crushed Hope]

Also, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Oh yes, I read that expecting it to be some emo trash, and found it a very great read.

[Skogs]

I'm into my modern classics. Kerouac, Capote etc.
