What is a really good book/ series to read?

Question

i have just read the twilight saga and the harry potter series... does anybody know what else is a really good series to read like these two ?

Answer 1

Someone else here suggested Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.. I'd actually go with his Robots series.  Sci-fi at it's best.  If you're looking for something more on a serious note, read "1984" - it'll scare the **** out of ya. :)

Answer 2

i would try Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, everyone who i know who has read it has loved it so hopefully you will enjoy it too.

Answer 3

-sisterhood of the travelling pants

-uglies series

-pretty little liars

-gossip girl

-tithe-holly black series

Answer 5

I read the first volume of the Bartimaeus trilogy.  I'm not much into YA, but it seems to me that most people who are into Potter might like to give that a shot as well

...Although, it is an AWFUL LOT like Potter.  Painfully derivative, if not from the author's perspective, then from the publishers.  I couldn't tell you when it was written, but if it was written prior to the Potter craze, the publisher must have looked at it (orphan boy coming into his own as a powerful magician) and said "MWAH HAHAHAHAHA!  I'VE FOUND THE NEXT HARRY POTTER!!!"

Answer 6

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy i red it twice, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Lord of Flays

Answer 9

um you could try the host its by stephanie meyer its like twilight except aliens go into peoples bodies but one person is still partly in the body and she is in love with a guy who is in hiding so they both must find him. also try pretty little liars its not like those but its really good its about 4 girls whose friend dies but they start to recieve mysterious texts from a person named A and every book u get closer u should also read the private novels its about a girl who goes to a prep school she is on scholarship also try the clique novels its about 4 girls who are a clique then another girl moves in to the alpha's guesthouse and u should also read prep its just like the private novels there is some gross parts like they go into desrciption of s*x but if u dont read that its really good u could also read Art Geeks and Prom Queens ik it sounds weird but its really really really good you should also try Faking 19 its by the same author of art geeks and prom queens also try the A-list series those are good u could try gossip girl but its really gross i mean i read the first 3 chapters and had to put it down cuz the parents let the people have s*x and do drugs and they dont care then they go into details and the 2nd chapter is like s*x burns 350 calories an hour or something like that. hope that helps
