a lot of girls i know love the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. its about vampires and such in the south. the hbo show True Blood was based off of it.

i ilked the green mile which was a book series with short books by steven king. the movie was good too

Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov. You will thank me.

Terry Pratchett! Read Terry Pratchett books! He writes satire/fantasy/AWESOME (my favorite genre). I guarantee you'll love it.

I hadn't realised how many series I have read! These are the ones I have loved throughout my life, although obviously some are for younger people: Fantasy: * The Lord of the Rings (I don't consider this a series, but some people do) * Lloyd Alexander's 'The Chronicles of Prydain' and Westmark Trilogy * The Fool's Gold series by Jude Fisher (aka Jane Johnson. I thought it was a trilogy, but the third book does not have a satisfactory conclusion. I understand the series is intended to continue although I'm not sure when the next book will come out.) * Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series and Tamir Triad * The Bitterbynde Trilogy by Cecelia Dart-Thornton (although her style can be very irritating) Fantastic/mystical elements: * Harry Potter series * The Chronicles of Narnia * His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (much better than the crappy Golden Compass movie) * The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper (much better than the crappy movie) * Alex Cold series by Isabel Allende * Journey to the West (by WU Cheng'en. Aka 'Monkey', 'Monkey Magic') * Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz Other: * The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series Schoolgirl series: * What Katy Did series by Susan Coolidge * The Chalet School series by Elinor Brent-Dyer Kids' series (which I still enjoy): * A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket * Uncle series by J.P. Martin Comics: * Tintin (Herge) * Asterix (Goscinny/Uderzo) * Ompa-Pa (Goscinny/Uderzo) * Iznogoud the Infamous (Goscinny/Tabary)

The Bad Girls series by Cynthia Voight. Supposedly for kids-but extremely well-written and engaging.

You may be too old for these, but the "House of Night" series by P.C. & Kristin Cast. I read the first 3 in 9 days (but could have finished sooner if it wasn't for school and work)!
