I like the Pendragon series. I read them all, so I'm looking for something new to read. If anyone could give me any ideas for reading material, I'd love it. Anything along the lines of Pendragon type books, or Harry Potter I guess.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with the Pendragon books, but here are some of my favs.
The Thomas Covanent Chronicles by Steven R Donaldson
The Eye of the World series by Robert Jordan
Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony
Xanth by Piers Anthony
The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien
The Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman
Dune by Frank Herbert
Amber by Roger Zelaney
Dragonriders of Pern by Anne Macafferey
anything by HG Wells
The Books of Lost Swords by Fred Saberhagen
hope this helps

You could try David Eddings. He has written heaps of books in the fantasy genre - they have the whole quest, magic, thing going on. I really enjoyed them, and the characters are quite funny.
There are a number of series he has written (The Belgariad, The Mallorean, The Elenium, The Tamuli).
If you want to try something a bit different, I also enjoyed the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn.

Read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins.
Keep an open mind, this book is not for people with dug in political beliefs.
Secondly while the book is written well it is the authors first try so it may be a bit dry.
In fantasy, read anything by Stephen King.

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan is awesome. It's long (11 books in the main series and still counting, as well as one in the prequel series).
Another one I've always enjoyed is The Belgariod and subsequent series by David Eddings.

well The Goddess Realm novle comes out in the fall. They're supposed to be even better than Harry Potter!!!! Its a new serries by Victoria Ross and Sarah Alphonse. They areonly 13!!!!!! I herd that Victoria has a myspace. In interviews she says that if you search her her email for myspace is toriiscool@yahoo.net. Yes with two I's.
They say her books are very good. They are supposed to be about Magic and goddesses [hints the name]. If your looking for somthing new and excitting to read, you've got to try The Goddess Realm by Victoria Ross and Sarah Alphonse.

I have just bought Eragon as I have heard its very good and I recommend Dune by Frank Herbert....it can take a while to get thur as you constantly need to refer to the appendicies, but its an excellent read as are the next 2 in the series, but I found the next one a bit silly.

The Eragon series is ok. The hobbit and the Lord of the rings should be read if you have not done so already.

You might like the Kite Runner. My grandson read it once for school and twice for pleasure.
