    I can't remember the name's of the books. But there's about 16+ books in the series, and they're written by Lindsey Davies I think. They're all Roman-y and delicious.

    I love the Abhorsen Trilogy. Good greif I really do forget to mention many goodies in these threads.


    Anyways two more suggestions from me.

    The Symphony of the Ages Series written by Elizabeth Haydon. One of my favorites of all time.

    Mary H. Herbert's Dark Horse Series.


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    Oh yes, I read that expecting it to be some emo trash, and found it a very great read.
    Perks is my favourite book. I discovered it the exact same way you did.

    I also recommend Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, Tuesdays With Morry, 1984, When Will Jesus Bring the Porkchops?, eetc.

    "Good Omens" Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet (Or... just about anything by these authors if you like quirky humor)

    "House of the Scorpion" Nacy Farmer (So so so creepy, in all honesty. Don't read if you have serious issues with the idea of cloning humans though)

    "The Phantom Tollbooth" (Ha! Man, I haven't read this since I was like 10. XD And suddenly our English teacher has us reading it now and analyzing it. It's so strange, but kinda cute in a kiddish way. ^^)

    Achmed is AWESOME.

    This may not be that original, but:

    The Lord of the Rings series (including The Hobbit): The books are still amazing even though you've seen the films. J.R.R. Tolkien was a genius.

    Everyone should read Fifth Business at least once. It's my favourite book of all time.

    Also recommended: the Little Prince.

    I've read the Lord of the Rings 11 times. Time well spent...the movie simply cannot compare.

    I've been thinking about reading that for a while now, but I'll probably just end up watching the movie instead. I'm so lazy
