Probably Narnia and LOTR would be my top favs.

I LOVE NARNIA!!!!! That's one series I forgot to mention.

Yeah me too!! And I also forgot to mention the Hobbit, but for me that goes with LOTR.

Oh, yeah. Aren't Hobbit and LOTR by the same author? Never read them before, just heard of them.

Yes they are. And you should definently read them. J.R.R. Tolkien(LOTR guy) was actually friends with C.S. Lewis(Narnia guy)

Ooh, Ranger's Apprentice! I just started reading those. And I used to teas Warriors

Warriors is an awesome series! I like others too, but among all, Warriors is probably my fav!
About: A couple different series about different things that Clans of cats do. Battle, hunt, and more!
I think it is a mystery genre, but I'm not sure. It's a lot at once!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series and Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Books I haven't read and I'm already a huge fan of.

Love Flora and Ulyesses also, also like Fever, Lighting Thief, Boy in Striped Pajamas I love reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, I've read so many of the books mentioned here! A few comments:
-Harry Potter is amazing, and the world is so well constructed. My favourite character is Severus Snape, followed closely by Sirius and Lupin. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite.
-Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is hilarious. I love it so much.
-Warriors is extremely well written, if a little repetitive at times.
-I've read and love the Hobbit, but of the actual trilogy I've only read Fellowship of the Ring (and even then literally the only thing I recall from the book is Tom Bombadil; I seriously need to reread it)
-I also like Percy Jackson, but I have yet to read Mark of Athena and all subsequent books.

As for books that haven't been mentioned yet, here goes:
-The Inheritance Cycle (Eragon): I LOVE this series, and the world is incredibly detailed. It has history, several languages, politics, a magic system that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE, and amazing characters. Definitely a longer read though.
-The Chronicles of Prydain/Deltora's Quest: Both of these are relatively unknown fantasy series for children, and both are really good.
-The Outsiders: Probably my favourite book of all time. The characters are really unique and they stick with you. I've read it about 30 times at least.
-Lord of the Flies: I've read it more than once, but reading it in English class this year made me appreciate it even more. William Golding is a master of the English language, need I say more?
-The Lorax: Last but not least is my favourite Dr. Seuss book. I actually liked this book so much as a kid that I memorized the entire thing, and I can still recite it. Not only does it have a good message, but the Once-Ler is a fabulous character.

I could go on, but I think I'll stop now.

I really really really really like the book hoot

My favorite book is The Hunger Games.

I love Young Adult books, like…
Infinity Ring series by James Dashner,
Wonder by R. J. Palacio, and
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.

These books compared to yours are mine just plain lame. LOL

My favorite book is The Promise by Chaim Potok

1. The Mad Scientists club by: Bertrand R. Brinley
Genre: science
About: Seven kids who drive the whole town of Mammoth Falls crazy
2. The Westing Game by: Ellen Raskin
Genre: mystery
About: A clever puzzle/mystery book that involves a bomber, a murderer, chess, and purple waves.
3. The Mysterious Benedict Society the Prisoners Dilemma by: Trenton Lee Stewart
Genre: mystery
About: Four talented kids set out to save the world from an evil guy in a wheelchair.
4.LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary by: Jason Fry and Simon Beecroft
Genre: Informational
A complete guide to all of LEGO star wars.
5. Powerless by Matthew Cody
Genre: Science Fiction
About: A kid with no super powers meets some that do, and fight an evil villain.
