Alrighty! I vote we all pool our collective book collections in a massive repetuar of litterary knowledge!

In other words, what's your favorite books/serieses?

Mine:

The Bartemeus Trilogy. The Deltora Quest Serieses (there are several. they're really short, though), THe Knights of the Silver Dragon books (again, short), the Inheretence series (A.K.A., Eragon), the Harry Potter books, the Keys to the Kingdom (great, great series, seriously), the Discworld series (multiple storylines in the series), and any Dragonlance series.

Best ones would be the Bartemeus (probably misspelled, actually) ones and the Keys to the Kingdom.

The Balefire series is awesomee. I'd pretty much recomend it to anyone. 'Cept Cade. He wouldn't like it.

what's it about?

It's about twins, separated at birth, one growing up in New Orleans, practicing witchcraft with her "grandmother", the other growing up in Conneticut, completely unaware or her family's history. Then their father dies, and Thias, the twin from Conneticut, goes to New Orleans and meets her twin in school. She moves in with her, and then Clio, the other twin, and Thias, practice magick together and learn how much power they can get when working together.

magik or magic?

which reminds me, the Sempimus (probably terribly misspelled) Heap books are great too (Magik and Flyte). Big thick books.

Ooyey! Balefire IS good! I only got tot he first book because I haven't had much time to actually read lately and it was a while ago. But it was good. I believe the first one is the one with the grey cover and the second with a red?

That sounds like a show on Turner Network Television.

As for me, I would recommend anything by Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum. She is by far the best author I have read. I would also recommend anything by Johnathan Ronald Reuel Tolkein. Johnathan Grisham is adequate, as is Michael Crichton. Neal Stephenson's book Snow Crash is one of the best books ever written.

Mm....
I was thinking about this the other day and I remembered some I liked when I was in America. Like Ella Enchanted, Dealing with Dragons and the Redwall series.(Others already mentioned)
I have also been enjoying the Children of the Lamp series recently.


Hm.....
I forgot what the series was called but there was one that I really liked that I never got around to finishing. Monika's explanation of the Balefire series reminded me.
It was about witches.

I'll have to check Balefire out.

Sweep?
Same author.
