Ok i love books, and i need to find more to read, so list your faves, mine are my side of the mountain, savvy, and a childrens book, from my childhood, called seven picky eaters
I dont know if you will like the same genre that I like, but the books I recommend are: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (I'm actually reading it right now and its fantastic), The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, The Life of Pi writted by Yann Martel, and finally The Silver Crown by Robert C. O'Brien (This was the first thick chapter book I ever read in my life, its more of an easy level book for kids, but the theme is actually quite mature, and the books is very excellent, I literally could not keep reading it)
There are alot more books that I love, but these are the first ones that come to mind.
books i've read: Eragon series ( very good if you don't mind long books and like vivid detail and a very good plot) Cirque Du Freak series ( amazing storyline and interesting take on Vampirism, bout it) Traitor ( book about a german boy hiding a russian soldier, very good book) Lord of the Rings ( good for fantasy readers and for those needing a larger book) Harry Potter ( again fantasy >.> ) Left for Dead ( ww2, quite boring but interesting) How fault and chance have changed the world ( reading right now, basically ridiculous military disasters and how random factor played into it)
and numerous others i don't recall, but those are mine
Eragon series ( very good if you don't mind long books and like vivid detail and a very good plot) Cirque Du Freak series ( amazing storyline and interesting take on Vampirism, bout it)
I have read both of those, Eragon is has many very vivid characters that you would need to remember, but it is still a very good book, and Cirque Du Freak is very good as well, I was quite addicted to it, and by the same author there is a series called the Demoneta series, which is a mature read with plenty of blood and gore. >

This should actually be in the Popular Media section; the AMW is for original work only. However, being that I'm here, why not? It's always good to read, and I like to help others along. My mental library knows no bounds! Well, let's see. I'll list books similar to some of the books you listed and perhaps we can find a match. Savvy?
Books Similar To My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George(I've read this book too!) -Hatchet by Gary Paulsen -Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George -On the Far Side of the Mountain(a sequel to My Side) by Jean Craighead George -Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell
Books Similar to Savvy by Ingrid Law -Crash by Jerry Spinelli -The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley
Books Similar to The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Anne Hoberman -Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner -The Diggingest Dog by...I dunno. Lol.
And that should be enough to tide you over for now, yeah?
YES Hatchet was a very good book, and pretty much every other book by Gary Paulsen is very good. ( i believe there was a sequel to hatchet, yes? ) well anyway i've red them all, inclunding woodsong, dogsong, and a few others, and by far they are worth reading
@hyper: well, popular media isn't the best section for a topic like this, nor the tavern, because this section attracts the right audience . I'm not on AMW much unless i ( rarely) have written a story or something, but i still do nonetheless.

Well, this certainly doesn't belong in the AMW. No one here wrote any of these books.

Yeah, there were like four or five sequels. I've read every book I listed, by the way. With the exception of Island of the Blue Dolphins, which I've been meaning to read sometime.
And here is my personal list of favorites. Unfortunately they're series, not particular books =(.
-The Midnighters Trilogy[The Secret Hour, Touching Darkness, Blue Noon] by Scott Westerfeld -The Bartimaeus Trilogy[The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, Ptolemy's Gate] by Jonathan Stroud -Enchantress From the Stars by Sylvia Louise Engdahl
And so yeah...those are pretty much my favorite books! They're actually a lot more philosophical than you might think...well, Enchantress is, and Bartimaeus is. Midnighters not so much, but it's still a rocking trilogy.
I dont know if youve read the skulduggery pleasant series there are currently 5 books. They get better and darker as they go. If you like Harry Potter but want something darker with more style then these books are perfect.
I don't think anyone has mentioned the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan. If you like any fantasy you have to read this series. Robert Jordan is a fantastic writer and the books are just amazing.
Also if your looking for a somewhat easy read but still amazing check out Piers Anthony's Xanth series. It contains tons of magic, humor, and great storylines. Though the series is currently at its 34th volume I believe. I reccomend the first 6-10 books of the series.
Er..we might not be fans of the same type of book, but here we go!
Tipping Point Blink - [I]DJ Machale[/I] Outliers
All are by the same author and all fall under the same sort of psychiatric sort of view. 1 of them (Blink) looks into the subconscience mind and how we act in the blink of an eye, Outliers looks at success and what has to happen for one to succeed, and the last, Tipping Point, explains how 1 little event can change the course of something much larger.
