Douglas Adams is awesome! Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a must read and when you're done with that check out his Dirk Gently series

I just started The Eye of the World as well. That is long, but it is really good so far. I also like the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. I started the Chronicles of Narnia, but I don't like them very much.

I'm working on the Eye of the World, and have determaned that it must be about as long as the entire Lord of the Rings... each book, that is. But it's really good so far.

Also, the book, Borderlands, is really good. Check it out.

All of these books sound so interesting... I need to get to the bookstore or library and read some of them!

Some of the books I have read are:

~ "The Lost Years of Merlin" series- the stories of Merlin as a teenager (quite humorous, but wonderful just the same), with interesting foreshadowing of his older years.

~ The Enchanted Forest books, including the "Book of Enchantments", consisting of other, smaller stories from the same fantasy land

~ "A Wrinkle in Time"

~ many "Star Wars" books- as Eowyn Skywalker stated, are very good

~ and some of "Harry Potter"

Well I've read almost every book by Raymond E. Feist. I have enjoyed every book I've ever read by him. Also I've read all the Harry Potters and enjoyed them all, they keep getting better. His Dark Materials is a good series, that I've just recently read. Artemis Fowl and the Chronicles of Narnia are also very good. I also like the book Eragon, but the other two books haven't been written yet so I dont' know how good the series is going to be.

I LOVE Raymond E. Feist. I read Magician several times and I read all of the books that take place in Midkemia.

Also after seeing Harry Potter I decided to read the third book again. I think the third book is my favourite though it can change.
