Sci-fi and fantasy. Lord of the Rings, the Inheritance trilogy, Dune, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Truth Machine are some favourites, as well as the Bartimaeus trilogy, obviously.

:blink:

it was written by a fifteen year old and published by his parents for freaken crying out loud the only reason it was even considered good was because it was written by a teen

I didn't know it had been written by a fifteen year old until I'd finished it. Besides, he started writing it at fifteen, but was much older when he finished it. It may not be up to LoTR standard, but they're still damn good books.

they are amazing books

they arent all that good they take ideas from like 30 other books it was really a mass marketing scheme for his parents not him

there are only 7 types of books in the world so does that mean that there should only be 7 books as all the other are just copies? Most books use other books ideas, plots and storylines.

i know but there are more generas then 7 trust me and most books do use diffrent ideas this ones ideas area lot moe prominate to litachure

Find me a book written after 1800 that doesn't use ideas from other books. IMO, the writing is more important than where ideas may or may not have been borrowed from.

yah...

Tithe and Valiant by Holly Black rock, but they're pretty dark (and getting darker. Seems a little above PG-13 sometimes...and they're more girl's books. but hey.) I'm trying to read Eragon right now, but...well. I like the idea behind it, and its not a bad plot, I just...don't like his style maybe? The book just doesn't draw me in, it's been fairly easy to predict so far, and Eragon's such a... an annoying character. I just dislike him. Period. No offense to Inheritance fans, of course. Differet tastes and all that.

you people should read the wind on fire trilogy

Some of it is too easy to predict, but there are a couple of plot twists that are hard to guess.
And yes, different tastes. :P



The Wind on Fire trilogy is indeed good, but I entirely forgot about it when I was saying what I liked. I do that sort of thing a lot.

wow some one else has actualy heard of that trilogy...

It's shocking how few people have actually. And yet everybody (and their dogs, cats, gerbils and other assorted household pets) have read crap like Harry Potter.

harry potter is complete crap but its pretty close
