Answer 3

The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Series #1)
by Philip Pullman
Good books to read, well written. Read before the movie comes out and spoliers pop up.

Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness Series #1)
by Tamora Pierce
Best books I have ever read. Main character grows up with the books. In other books Tamora write they turn up again. Nice that you keep seeing them and what's happening in their life. Strong women too.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide Series #1)
by Douglas Adams
Tells you the meaning of life. Which is 42. British humor.

When Lightning Strikes (1-800-Where-R-You Series #1)
by Meg Cabot
Fun light reading. Liked these books much more then I thought I would.

Harry Potter
by J. K. Rowling
Umm, duh.

All very good books which are worth reading.
