Heh, Paolini sure writes a lot. D: (Or should that be ? I like long books...but this one sounds too long...heheh). Hopefully I can read during the winter break. I have legitly NO TIME this month!

Ooh, also, have you read the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan? The first series is a bit childish (the writing isn't amazing either), but the second series that he's writing now based on the first is AMAZING. Though I haven't even finished the first book yet.

Also, Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer.

Ahh, another Artemis Fowl fan! Hopefully. I love Eoin Colfer's work (kid's books). He's amazing. I can't wait till the last AF book, though it will be totally sad.

What is hopefully supposed to mean? My brother and I read the Artemis fowl books, and they were well written but for some reason, they weren't real popular. I never heard of those other books before

Hopefully as in, you didn't just pick it up and read it and...you know, didn't become a fan. Like...you know how you read books but aren't necessarily a fan? Yeah... :/

But anyway, you're right, they've never been SUPER popular, which is a pity. I love Artemis Fowl (even more so in the seventh book...and Orion Fowl...)

Percy Jackson is pretty good, too, you should check it out!

Thanks for all the advice I'll definitely look into these books because as of today, I'm 100 pages from finishing "inheritance"

+1 for Percy Jackson. If you like that series Rick Riordan has started up two new ones Heroes of Olympus (Greek mythology) and Kane Chronicles (Egyptian mythology). All three series sometimes tie in with one another which is pretty cool! It's definitely geared to a younger audience but I enjoy reading them. I'd also recommend The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Micheal Scott!

Thanks for reminding me about Artemis Fowl. I left off at the Time Paradox and now there's two more to read!

^The second Artemis Fowl won't be out till autumn next year. But the one after the Time Paradox is hilarious.

Aaannnnd...I haven't got round to reading the Kane Chronicles, but wouldn't it be awesome if he did a crossover? Percy Jackson meets...kids from Kane Chronicles.

Another amazing series: Ingo, by Helen Dunmore. It's about mer-people. Note, not mermaids. xD IT's amazing, because it's so...so real, and not kiddified or girly.

Suzanne Collins also has another series which is pretty good, apparently, though I haven't read it (nothing can top The Hunger Games, though. )

Mills! You know on the second floor, there's this big area that's open past midnight? Opposite to its entrance there are some couches? The bookshelves behind them contain fictional reads. I discovered it at the end of last year. You can borrow books for two weeks!

(They have the first book of the Pelliinor series that I mentioned earlier, too. ^__^)

It's called The Gift...or The Naming. It's pretty epic. I think the version Mac has is called 'The Naming'.
