I like to read (as long as it isn't freaking boring...-throws harry potter book-) I have nothing against the Harry Potter books I just worship anyone that can finish one reading the WHOLE thing! I found that I started skipping paragraghs even chapters waiting for something to happen :p anyways some Books I have read and really like are..

Where the Red Fern Grows (It made me cry so bad! one of my all time favorite books, the movies disappoint me though :()
Warriors Series (I've read all 10 books in the series and they're not small! can't wait for the new one to come out in september!!!great adventures and you will never get bored! its about cats though...they need to make a movie out of it!;) )
Eragon (still reading it :p almost finished though, can't wait to see the movie!)

I know there's more, but can't quite remember them!

anyone else???

You know, I read the 5th harry potter in 2 days and the 6th in one...I don't think they are boring at all. :/

My favorite series of all time is probably Dragonlance, preferably the ones written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I also like the Uglies trilogy.
