Recommended books for me?

I second the Terry Pratchett recommendations, adding in Going Postal. Other suggestions are:

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Dune by Frank Herbert

Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Legacies by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edgehill

Fallen by Thomas Sniegoski

Imager by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

Sabriel by Garth Nix

Through Wolf's Eyes by Jane Lindskold

Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce

Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith

Joust by Mercedes Lackey

If you liked Harry Potter and would not mind a more adult book, I highly recommend the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. Book 1 (Name of the Wind - around 800 pages) and Book 2 (Wise Man's Fear - over 1000 pages) are released. Also a novella side story will soon be released. The third full book is due out this year.

So far my husband, his brother, me and our college-age niece have all read the first two books and all loved them.

I also enjoy the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. The first book is Cinder. There will be 4 books in this series and I think 3 are already released.

And if you like post-apocalyptic dystopian, check out Hugh Howey's Wool trilogy. For the first two books be sure to buy the "Omnibus" since these two were originally released in smaller pieces. Famous director Ridley Scott bougth the movie rights for Wool! The complete series is:

Wool Omnibus

Shift Omnibus

Dust

And also excellent is Hugh Howey's most recent book "Sand"

Prisoner of Zenda, classic adventure

Robin Hood

Best of the Year short story collection, sci-fi and fantasy

The Innkeeper's Song by Peter S Beagle

The Dead Zone by Stephen King ( I don't know, is this sci-fi)

King Solomon's Mines

The African Queen

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

Sherlock Holmes

LOVED:

Patch

Fallen

Max ride

Shadowfalls series (GREAT)

Vampire academy

Nightshade

Hex hall

City of bones

Maybe try:

The secret circle

My soul to lose

A mythos academy novel

I have more but that's all I can think of, I read them all they are good :D

Terry pratchett.. my favourites are

Small gods

Mort

The truth

Soul music

Pyramids

Thief of time

Thud

To mention a few, their all great.

You dont have to read the discworld in order. They are stand alone novels although occassionally reference eachother. I wish I could experience them for the first time again.

Hope you enjoy.

If you like Sci fi try some Iain M Banks, he is awesome. Consider Phlebas is his first and one of my favourites.

Also Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. That's fantastic, dystopian end of the world stuff.

If you're into mystery, I recommend Every Dead Thing
