Answer 1

So you like fantasy? O.K. If you like long books read Lord of the Rings, but instead of reading it by yourself get an audio and fallow along, it helped a lot.

And if you want sorter, but still long books try Narnia or The Last Unicorn...I cried durring those and their just books. Strange.

Of all of those, I would most deffinately try The Last Unicorn. It's a sweet story of how a Unicorn learned Regret and Sorrow. Try it. They're all good though.

Answer 2

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It will be the most unforgettable book you ever read (except the bible maybe). You will find it in the self-improvement section of any bookstore. Buy the larger size edition if you can, as it has a summary at the end of each chapter that will put things together for you. If this book were taught in high schools, this country would truly be a super power from now on. Getting rich doesn't just mean making a lot of money. You'll see why when you read the book. There is a great secret contained in the book. You might find it on the first few pages, or somewhere else, even toward the end chapters. That secret will be most important to you. As you read it, highlight the most important sentences in yellow. Then ask your spouse, boyfriend, significant other, to read it and highlight the parts that are significant to him/her in blue. The result will be green, of course, and will be your signal that you are thinking along the same lines in those areas. It can be your "bible" together for the rest of your life. Enjoy!

Two by Ayn Rand:

Atlas Shrugged

If you like westerns, anything by Zane Grey.

Try some of the classics such as
A Tale of Two Cities
or
The Count of Montecristo
or
Treasure Island
or
The Iliad

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. It has received excellent reviews in the national media and is being considered for a movie deal. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy.

If you'd like to sample it, I can send you a FREE, 4 chapter eBook demo if you email me at [e-mail]. That way, you can check it out without spending a dime. Fair enough?

Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

Answer 7

The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud

Answer 8

Try The Redwall series by Brian Jaques. Fantastic books.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Anything by Tamora Pierce is excellent. If you haven't finished the rest of her books you should. I would also recommend anything by Sarah Dessn, although her works are more fiction than fantasy, they are really good. Firebirds anthlogy is also really good for fantasy and fiction. Have fun reading.
