What book should I read?

Hello!

Okay, so I have a hard questions for you guys!

I have been dieing to read a book that would interest me. I mainly like reading series and I know that there are so much more out there that I would love.

I like the books that fantasyish/adventure mainly like Rangers Apprentice by John Flanagan (my fave. book)

So here is a list of books that I really like and it's the kind of stuff that interest me.

*Rangers Apprentice by John Flanagan (best book series ever!)

*Ink Heart (don't remb. the authors name)

*Warriors by Erin Hunter (like the second best series ever)

*Artemis Fowl

*Frank Peretti books

*The Hobbit (J.R.R Tolkien)

*Nancy Drew (I haven't read them in a while.. lol)

Books that I am planning on reading:

* Fablehaven

*Hunger Games Trilogy

*Harry Potter

*Lord of the rings

*Narnia

*Eragon

*Series of Unfortunate events

(these are things I also like-- like style, story line, AWESOMENESS)

Books that I am not interested in:

Vampire books, will never read that one uhh... Twilight

Romance stories! blahhg!!!

Animophs (it's a book series)

A bunch of boringness.... I need to be stuck like glue

Oh, and I am kinda looking for something with Dragons (like I don't have to though). I mean dragons that are good. At least.

And if it helps, I like the anime show Avatar; The Last Airbender

THANKS!!! Who ever give the most book suggestions gets best answer, or unless I really like a book that you mentioned! I think I gave a pretty good descript of what I want/

THANKS AGAIN!

    *Harry Potter

    *Lord of the rings

    *Narnia

    *Eragon

    are all good books. Narnia and Rings being the best by far. The author of Narnia wrote another series called "The Space Trilogy" which is even better in my opinion. "The Last Apprentice" series by Joseph Delaney is another awesome read. The Abhorsen Trilogy and the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix are masterful to say the least. Which Frank Peretti Books have you read? The Darkness books are a must read if you haven't checked them out yet. If you liked Peretti then you might want to check out Ted Decker. They're similar authors. I'm reading The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss right now, and it is completely awesome.

  • I will also suggest Song of the Lioness by Tamora Pierce because I've been told it's a great series and it's similar to the books you mentioned.

    Out of the ones you mentioned I think you should read the Hunger Games or Harry Potter.

    You have a lot of really good books on your list of to read. I'm not sure how old you are but series of unfortunate events is more for kid. They are good books, but its not something I think an older teen or adult would like. Also, I don't know if your into werewolves but maggie stiefvater has an awesome trilogy. The first book is called shiver. She also has two books about faeries if your into that...lament and ballad. My friend just got me into an excellent series called the dresden files by jim butcher...think harry potter meets sherlock holmes. It's adult fiction tho...not teen. Graceling is an excellent book...I didn't like the prequel fire as much but that's my opinion...and the sequel to graceling called bitterblue just came out a few days ago. Also the tv show smallville has books out now...haven't read them tho but if they are like the show then they will be good. Its about superman's teen years, and before you say oh that sounds dumb...it's actually really good. I didn't think I'd like it but I do. Lots of fantasy, action, betrayal...can't wait to see what the books are like.

    Ok that's all my brain can think of right now. :)

    Just a heads up....not all Vampire books are like Twilight. Some are actually good like Dracula or Interview with a Vampire.

    Do read Harry Potter, it's pretty awesome. I'd also suggest anything by Tamora Pierce, because she has several very good series.
