Has anyone read any good books? I'm doing the Read-a-thon, and just got to the end of all the series of the books I've been reading lately, and now I don't know what to read!
HELP!

Well, what are you looking for? Fantasy? Mystery? Something totally different? There's always re-reading something that you've already read.
Don't forget, Incredibooks has reviews of books, too. Check around the review section of the site, there are 400+, you ought to be able to find something.

Eeeh! What a horrible fate!
Yes, what sort of books are you looking for?

Anything really. I love adventure, and fantasy. But I'll read just about anything!

Then I'd highly recommend browsing the reviews here. You are on a book review website! I think they've probably reviewed anything I might recommend off the top of my head.

Hmm... You might like the Attolia books by Megan Whalen Turner (The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, must be in that order ;)). Other than a little language and various other deities (the culture is based on ancient Greece) they're amazing books, very well-written and humourous and suspenseful.
Also The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton. *grins at Owan* And Alice in Wonderland. And the Jeeves and Wooster books by P.G. Wodehouse. And Sherlock Holmes, and--*shuts up*

Ever heard of Wayne Thomas Batson, or Ted Dekker? Incredible authors.

Also The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton. *grins at Owan*Yes, The Man Who Was Thursday is quite lovely. If we're voting, I vote you read it.
And after that you could start re-reading The Dragon Keepers so you'll already for DragonLight or read The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents which is awesome -- very lovely (and only two cases of d--- and four or five of "gosh" which is very good compared to some). Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is very long though very good (some slightly creepy elements and a great deal of magic --some of which is black). I really like Holes and my siblings are all big on The Pushcart War right now, (my elder sister is re-reading it and discussions keep springing up about it since most of us have read it too).

"Eragon" by Christopher Paolini was ok, though the sequel stank to high skies! (Some magic...) "The Kingdom Series" by Chuck Black is short and sweet. The Hobbit rocked, the "Redwall" series is awesome, "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken was deliciously scary, and the "Prydain Chronicles" by Lloyd Alexander are all good, a bit meloncholy. All of these (save the Kingdom books) adorn my heavy-leaden Favorite Books shelves.

Hooray for The Hobbit!

What age group are we looking at here?
Aha! I see those Prydain Chronicles. (I just thought to myself, "I need to re-read those". . . ) Oh, and "The Pushcart War"! I got such a kick out of that one. It was so funny.
Lots of good books have already been recomended.
I agree with C Triebold, Wayne Thomas Batson is good. I've only read his "Door Within Trilogy", but I've heard very favorable reports about his other books.

"The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken was deliciously scary,Oh, someone else who's read that! Yay! Actually I didn't like WoWC so much, I think it's the most cliched book I've ever read, but some of the sequels are really good.
*weeps bitter virtual tears on account of her library not having The Pushcart War*

I've never read the WoWC sequels...I need to check 'em out!

I've seen some of Ted Dekker's stuff, they look scary! John White's Archives of Anthropos are Narnia copycats, but they are suprisingly engaging. I've only read the first one, The Sword Bearer, and really liked it.
