I am one who loves to read. So, as a result of not knowing where to start reading, I turn to you, AG. I am currently reading the Dragonlance Chronicles, and then I plan on reading Dragonlance Legends after that. But after that, I don't know what I'll do. Any suggestions?

And thank you Freakenstein. I would like to point out he's the first to actually tell me some books to read.


Aaanytime bud. But I'd be thoroughly impressed if you managed to read all of the Xanth series. If you read his entire collection then...HAX!It takes at least 10 years to read all of them lol

Soldier X. It's not a series. It's not even long. But it's my favorite book of all time. You guys should all read it. It's awesome.


Oh no doubt, such a great book. I'd suggest "The Road", "Three Cups of Tea", The Circle Trilogy, and the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon).

I second Warriors. Those books are pretty good. Harry Potter is another classic, for good reason.

I had no patience for Twilight, personally. One of the few series where I just watch the movies. The first movie was rocky, but New Moon is pretty good and Eclipse was aces.

Also, back to books: I recommend Gravity's Rainbow.

Try The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This will stir your brain a little ^^
Oh, and don't watch the film. Isn't worth...

Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini, Green Rider by Kristen Britain, and Little Brother by Cory Doctorow are all awesome books.

3. Harry Potter, everyone has said it but i feel that its necesary.- J.K. Rowling
4. If you want something a bit dencer, The Lord of the Rings and the hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. truely amazing book, especially the hobbit
5.The Underland Chronicles- the first one is called gregor the overlander. strange but really good.- Suzanne Collins
6.The House of the Scorpion. Not a series but one of the best books ever. there's a reason it has all those medals on the cover.- Nancy Farmer
7.irobot. absolutely nothing like the movie, its a lot better.- Isaac Asimov. best sci-fi author ever.
8.If your looking for horror then look no furher than Stephen king. just chooses a King book and you will be terrified and amazed. Pet Semetary, The Shining, Misery, Duma Key, The Stand, etc.
9.A series of unfortunate events. really really sad and depressing so its not a good one if your trying to avoid being sad but it has a cool story and a good writing style.- Lemony Snickett
10.Eragon books. pretty cool and interesting.- Christopher Paolini.
I hope this helps. Happy reading
