Answer 4

I've read most of those books you've mentioned so you might like these too.

Young Bond series by Charlie Higson (written for when Bond is young)

The Wardstone Chronicles by Joseph Delaney (fantasy)

The Dark Flight Down and the book of the dead days by Marcus Sedgwick (fantasy)

Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan stroud (fantasy)

If you like eragon series then I suggest you try these fantasy books.

(Although both have female protagonists I wouldn't let this put you off as they are not the typical girly books).

Pellinor series by Alison Croggon

Sabriel/lirael/Abhorsen by Garth Nix

Answer 5

I'll echo those who said Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.  I'd also recommend Michael Crichton if you like science fiction based roughly on fact.  The books "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World" are VERY different from the movies.  "The Andromeda Strain" is a classic, and I highly recommend "The Terminal Man."  "Congo" and "Timeline" are also very good.  Of course, there's always the sci-fi/comedy cult classic "The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams (and the other books in the series).  If you like Narnia, Eragon, and Harry Potter, chances are you'll like the Hitchhikers' series.

Answer 6

Since you like fantasy I'd recommend:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan:

1. The Lightning Thief

2. The Sea of Monsters

3. The Titan's Curse

4. The Battle of Labyrinth

The Cronus Chronicles, Anne Ursu:

1. The Shadow Thieves

2. The Siren Song

Pendragon Series, D.J. MacHale:

too many to tell

The first two choices are A bit of Greek Mythology, and they're great.

Pendragon is a big time Sci-Fi.

Answer 7

First off, read what you want. Yeah, it would do you good to read more advanced books, but at the end of the day, you're still reading, not playing mindless video games or watching mindless TV. You'll have plenty of time to read War and Peace, but for now, be cool with what interests you and hooks you in.

I would reccomend Gone, by Michael Grant; it's a sci fi novel targeted at the teen age group, if you will. The premise involves everyone a small town in California being cut off from the world by a radioactive event at the same time that everyone over the age of 15 simply disappears. It is very much a dark pageturner, with elements of horror and action sci fi thrown in, and it does actually make you think a bit.

Also, the Everworld Series by K.A. Applegate. It's more of a fantasy thing for young adults- it's set in a world that all the pagan gods (Zeus and such) created when they fled our world. Basically, some teenagers from our world get brought to everworld and have to survive their.

Also , read the Hobbit, as in my opinion, that is the best place to start with The Lord of the Rings series.

If you want to try some genres outside of sci fi/ fantasy, read Chris Crutcher or Robert Cormier, two great young adult authors who I've read countless books by. Gary Paulsen and Walter Dean Myers are great too. Gary Paulsen has actually written at least one really god Sci Fi/ Fantasy work, track it down, it should at your local library, as all of these books should be, and it is well worth a read.  

Answer 8

The Dark Tower by Stephen King, Starts with The Gunslinger

Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz

Answer 9

Try reading Jordan Freeman was my Friend by Richard White.  I'm a big fan, and Mr. White is supper nice.  It's not sappy, and is great for any age.  It's told from a teenage boys POV.

The Shannara series starts slow, but book two, The Elfstones of Shannara was really good.  I recommend reading The Sword of Shannara first.  But if you don't like slow points and lulls in the action than just skip right too the second.

Mutiny on the Bounty and Captain's Courageous are also really good, and personal favorites.

You could try reading some classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Swiss Family Robinson, and Shipwrecked.

HAPPY READING!!!!!

Answer 10

i agree with cheif gamer. eragon is really good

Answer 11

You're a teenager. Even if you want to read fantasy try something a little more challenging. I'd recommend Song of Ice and Fire series by George Martin, Black Company by Glen Cook, Wild Cards edited by George Martin, and I'll toss out Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time just because they're probably the two most well established fantasy series other than Lord of the Rings.  

Answer 12

why not read some more educated books like lord of the rings, war and peace, billy hopkins writes some good books like our kid
