George Orwell is still one of the most talented writers I've ever seen.

Either The Last Olympian (Rick Riordan), The Lost Hero (Rick Riordan), How Stuff Works (by the How Stuff Works (website) staff), or Brisingr (Christopher Paolini).
Haha I see we have the same taste! I personally thought those 2 books you just listed are the best in the series (Percy Jackson) we need to be friends, so I am going to send the request

I hate Twilight, I read the first 5 chapters and decided it was too girly for me. I'd rather watch Young and the Restless.

Absolutely amazing books.
I also like The Circle Trilogy, Infernal City, Order of the ancient and others.

Ray Bradbury is another great writer, and he has a great range: some stuff exciting, some moving, some horrifying. I think he does have the problem of being overly sentimental, but that's a small criticism of a sometimes brilliant writer. Start with the Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 and go from there. Something that deserves special mention is "The Trapdoor," one of my favorite short horror stories.
And like several other people have said, Percy Jackson is pretty darn good. Just whatever you do, don't see the movie. Seriously, don't do it.

I loved the goosebumps books! I had tons of them. Currently I'm reading "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" which is being made into a movie by the Coen brothers. Really excited for that.when I was a kid my favorite books were goosebumps books! ^^

Ah! I was just thinking about that series the other day! I'll have to go find the first 3 as well. There on a book shelve somewhere...One series of books I really like is the Inheritance Cycle. I'd forgotten about them until today, when I saw that the fourth one finally has a release date: 8 November 2011. I'll have to re-read the first three before then, to refresh my memory. It's about time this book was published; the last one was in 2008. I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait though.

I was impressed with "eragon". Eldest was ok. Brsinger. Was just a dissapointment. It was almost like the author ran out of ideas for the book, and the ending was predictable. Most of all, I was dissapointed that it was not a trilogy. Hopefully the ending will be good though.
