I didn't realize I loved reading until I started reading Fantasy stories. My first book was, Magician Apprentice by Raymond E. Feist.
There are too many stories and series to list here, but here are a few really good Fantasy writers.
George R. R. Martin
Robert Jordan
R.A. Salvatore
Terry Brooks

Well, if you want a treat read,
The DemonWars Saga is a series of seven novels written by R.A. Salvatore.
I just could not put these books down and when I was finished I wanted More!

If you enjoyed Memoirs then "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" might interest you. My fav of all time is Jimmy Buffett's "A Salty Piece of Land." Yep, Jimmy Buffett the singer. The book is a nice light beach read.

I love the Kite Runner and also A Thousand Splendid Sons and Harry Potter.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." is a great book isn't it :) Loved it. I also work with kids who have Autism, and that's why I read it to being with, but I adore it so so much.

If you want book suggestions I have a ton :D So get ready ;)

Seeing as you like the books you do you might enjoy some of Alice Hoffman's books:

1. Practical Magic.
2. The Probable Future.

Both are lovely, the latter is a book that centers on 3 generations of women. The grand mother, the mom and a teenage girl. They all have special abilities. What I really love about this book is how Hoffman is able to portray the bonds between all 3 of the women as well as their bonds with each of the other.

She has a great way of writing, practical magic was the first one I read and her writing got me from page one.

Have you read Harry potter? I personally love those books. So much more detailed of course then the movies (although I'll say that the movies are pretty good adaptations from the books :))

Mark Haddon also has written some other books
1. A Spot of Bother
2. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea: Poems.

I also like Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen. Its not a very long book, but I think its fascinating how Kaysen writes about her experiences (while she was at a psychiatric ward in the late 60s. She was there for two years. She has a great way of looking at her situation.)

Nice and neat order:

1. Piratical magic by Alice Hoffman
2. The probable future by Alice Hoffman
3. Harry potter 1-7
4. Girl, interrupted by Susanna Kaysen.
5. A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon
6. The talking horse and the sad girl and the village under the sea by Mark Haddon

If you like poetry I have great suggestions there as well.

Hope this was of some help. :)

Thank you so much for the recommendations :] I'm currently reading Wild Swans by Jung Chang :D you ever read it?
Xx

[roxypox]

No Can't say I have. ;) are you enjoying it?

I must admit that I don't get to read nearly as much for pleasure as I would like. I usually only have time to read stuff for school. And now I've started doing research for my Grad theses. LOL which is interesting reading at least ;)

Right now I'm re-reading Harry potter and the deathly hollows (I didn't finish it last time)

So what is the book you're reading now about?

[FfionStevenson]

I'm only on the first chapter but its really good so far :) haha. I've read all of the Harry Potter books except the last one! I'm to nervous that everybody I like is going to die! LOL

It's about China. That's all I've really learned so far :P
Wild Swans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There you go :)

The Harry Potter books are awesome regardless of age!
I'm a fan of some of the classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye.

[roxypox]

It sounds very interesting (wild swans that is). I think mom has it at home. I can remember the picture of the book. : Although mom read this some years ago. ;)

[WaBeHS]

I think you will love to read Dan Brown deception point
Clive Cussler Valhalla rising- Sahara. Dean Koontz has a book that really enjoyed reading Watchers and Icebound.
Try those books and let me know what you think.

[FfionStevenson]

It's really. I think you should read it, it reminds me of Memoirs of a Geisha for some reason with all the ceremonies :).

Thank yooou :)) I really want to read To Kill A Mockingbird but my library doesn't have it. Typical Wales :P. Thank yoou :)

Genre?

I LOVE Ursula LeGuin, she is a captivating author, but she might be a bit more college level. Her stories tend to run on the shorter side, you can get compilations of her short stories in books easily. I heard about her in a movie and fell in love.

I just finished the Jim Butcher series about a wizard in modern day Chicago who advertises in the paper, there are 12 book in the series so far.

At fifteen I was very into F Scott Fitzgerald and Maya Angelou. My favorite author of all time is Jerzi Kozinski. He wrote a lot in the 70's ish and taught at Yale for a while. The first time I read The Painted Bird it changed my life. I have never read a book that strange since.

Christoper Moore is a very good popcorn writer. You would love him if you like comedy with a fairly interesting twisted plot. Lamb was written by him. It was about the life of Christ from the point of view of his childhood pal Biff, chronicling the period of Christs life the Bible left out. It's pure fiction and highly blasphemous, but quite funny. Jesus meets a wizard and a guru in India.
