Answer 1

Why don't you try books by Edgar Rice Burroughs?He wrote the Mars novels and the Tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the Mars series beginning with 'A princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.

Edgar Rice Burroughs also wrote the Venus series about an explorer to VenusThe first books is 'Pirates of Venus'.You can get free e-books by edgar rice burroughs from Project Gutenberg.

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary,Aerie) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. That is only the beginning.The rest of the books are about his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.

Artemis Fowl book series by Eoin Colfer is about teen age criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl who even plots to steal the gold from the fairies.

Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.

Belgariad book series by David Eddings.The first book is 'Pawn of Prophecy'.The story begins in aunt Pol's kitchen at Faldor's farm where Garion is being raised. The main theme of the books is about how it is to grow up and to break up with one's old life. From his safe life at the farm, Garion is being thrown into a new life controlled by a thousand of years old prophecy - the prophecy of his and the world's destiny...

Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks.Living in peaceful Shady Vale, Shea Ohmsford knew little of the troubles that plagued the rest of the world. Then the giant, forbidding Allanon revaled that the supposedly dead Warlock Lord was plotting to destory the world. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness was the Sword of Shannara, which could only be used by a true heir of Shannara--Shea being the last of the bloodline, upon whom all hope rested. Soon a Skull Bearer, dread minion of Evil, flew into the Vale, seeking to destroy Shea. To save the Vale, Shea fled, drawing the Skull Bearer after him....

Answer 2

Somebody said "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" and I could've sworn that was Young Adult. But I've heard nothing but RAVES about Diana Goldoban (I know I spelled her name wrong :\ ) Seriously! I've also heard 'some' good things about Orson Scott Card, about how strong his female protagonists are and how great his plot twists are,ect. I'm curious though: I myself have not read The Hunger Games yet so I'm wondering what it is you didn't like about it. I've only heard about the book on here but the premise sounds EXACTLY like Stephen King's 1986 novel The Running Man, which was made into a film with Arnold Schwatrzenegger in the lead. Only difference I can tell from the summary really is that the Hunger Games uses teens instead of adults. And no offense to those who like Hunger Games (and again, I haven't reaad it), but people keep posting how original the concept is, ect. That reminded me of Twilight and how teens were saying it was so original. The Young Adult demographic seems to have SUCH a limited level of reading & film watching exposure that they really believe these authors came up with these stories by themselves. No offense, it's just an opinion based on observations.

Answer 3

Dont know about Harry Potter 7 but have you read books by Terry Pratchett? He writes excellent fantasy! You could try the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an excellent option! Impossible to forget once you've read it! Even the Thraxas series by Martin Scott is good. Stephen Baxter would be a great read for Science Fiction if you dont mind reading tomes! And the Doctor Who series, if you havent read that.

Answer 4

Here are some that I love.

1. Terry Pratchett (Silly fantasy series. 20+ books so far, I think. One of the main characters is DEATH and he always speaks in CAPITAL LETTERS.)
2. Douglas Adams (Very Silly)
3. Wild Cards edited by (George E.E. Martin?) (A strange series of books about an alien experiment that creates monsters and superheroes on Earth. Strictly for adults.)

There are many others, but I can't remember.
One thing you could do is go to a sci-fi chat room and talk to people.

Answer 5

try the following books/books by the following authors:
- His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass (this is book one of i think 6 or 7 books.. i forgot, but it's the best!!! absolutely great reading.. very addictive.. it's by philip pullman.. a great author)
- Griffin & Sabine (much like the movie, The Lake House, i think.. it's pretty amusing to read, because you'd be reading actual letters inserted in the book.. very mysterious and thrilling story)
- ANY book by Dan Brown.. he's the best.. (so far, i've read Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, Digital Fortress)
- Neil Gaiman books.. Stardust is the absolute best book i've read (next to the harry potter books, of course)

Answer 6

I notice you like harry Potter, so why don't you try Visitors by Bob Chapman. yes there is a young boy who is the central character, but it is a different kind of magic from harry. Very well written , funny and sad. Keeps you guessing to the last page. Get it on Amazon

Answer 7

Read ALL of the books by Philp Pullman, Ursula K. LeGuin and David Eddings. And then call me in the morning,

Answer 8

King Fortis the Brave!

Answer 9

Have you read '1984' by George Orwell? It's a must for you since it's one of my favorite titles. Indeed I read all his novels and non-fictions like 'Down and Out in Paris and London' in which he described and portrayed how the poor including himself lived and worked, that is, form his direct experience. An amazing man, I like his style of writing and characterization.

Answer 10

Lord of the Rings is awesome, but for a truly great read, try stephen king, unless you **** your pants easily, and get too scared. ( It has quite lurid subject matter).
