Hey I am looking for grrrreat books. Although i am a young girl i read way beyond my level1 I like mainly science fiction and realstic fiction but am open to many a new thing. you can leave your fav. books here in hope that I'll read them becauser all the books left here are definetly goin on my "to read list" Thanks bunches!
I don't know what you mean by "young", but based on your moniker I would say you are under 16. I would recommend Philippa Gregory: "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Queen's Fool".
Fantasy and Sci Fi:
Terry Pratchett - loosely Fantasy but incredibly funny - there are now something like 25-30 books in the Discworld series. They're all great although i would ostesiably avoid those that include Rincewind, especially the first 2. It helps if you read them in order (apart from the first 2 which you should just miss out cos they don't live up to the standard!!!!!)
Raymond E Feist - the God of fantasy. You'd probably prefer the Empire trilogy although the Riftwar Saga is great too (3 books in each)
Robert Jordan - the wheel of time (11 books the first of which is Eye of the World... i think) - they're good but drag a bit towards the end
Sara Douglass - Read the Axis trilogy and the wayfairer redemption!! ... although if you're american then the two trilogies are marketed as 6 books in the Wayfairer Redemption.
David Eddings - anything
Hope that that helps
I second Terry Pratchett and I'll add George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the Ender's Game series. Wicked is very good as is Catch-22 (a classic). I also really enjoy the Shannara series by Terry Pratchett and Foundation by Asimov. Most of those are fantasy and sci fi but that's what i enjoy reading the most. If you like i could give some reccomendations from other genres as well.
