I I think Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series would be good. Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book is also reputed to be very good.

This is probably going to be a "I borrowed it from a friend" book. I don't think Dan Brown's writing is that spectacular; he just chooses controversial topics.

I've heard of a couple of stories: A Christmas Tree, The Poor Relation's Story, Nobody's Story...but I don't remember reading them.

The Twilight series- I never thought I could hate books as much as I hated those

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon OR The Handmaid's Tale-Margaret Atwood

I just received the news that the woman who had loved me and who I had rejected, killed herself. The Picture of Dorian Gray-Oscar Wilde

You can try Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally. I haven't got around to reading it (though it's been on my shelf for a while), but I think it'll be a good read.

I've heard that Terry Pratchett's "Johnny Maxwell" series makes good reading for preteens. As for me, I loved Roald Dahl books.

Hey, that's not fair!! It's not just college students reading Rowling, every booklist has Beedle on top( or near). Anyway, you can't judge an entire generation based on a survey of a thousand-odd people (if that many are included in the survey, that is). That's not even representative of the...

Weird book titles What is the weirdest title of a book you have come across? I was reading this article on strange book titles like "A God or a Bench" or "Insects are just like You and Me except some of them have Wings".

"The sun rose slowly, as if it wasn't sure it was worth all the effort." -The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett

To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee

Yeah, I think so too. I really liked Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy as well...
