Do you have a personal library at home? If so what does it consist of?
Mine:
About 20 Terry Pratchett books, mostly Discword. Great series, I?'d recommend the Discword series to anyone (Especially the Death books), of course they?re not all as good as each other but none are actually bad. Oh, and for those that don't know, it?s not once continuous series, they're just all based in the same world.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Good, not great. Worth a read I guess, but some parts just seem silly.
His Dark Materials by...er...Philip Pullman I think. Northern Lights, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass. Three great books that you must read, now.
Wheel of Time Series by...Robert Jordan...I think that's his name
. Great series, though some of the books are, quite frankly, disgraceful. It starts of good, then gets excellent and then there is an unbelievable plummet in quality. There has been a reprisal in the latest book though, which is very good. There have been, AFAIK, eleven books and one prequel, the twelfth will conclude the series but there are plans for extra prequels too.
Age of the Five by Trudi Cavanan (I think that's the spelling, I suck at authors). Read the first two, moving onto the third (and final, I think). The three books are called Priestess of the White, Last of the Wilds and Voice of the Gods. They're quite good and the world is very nice. My only gripe with it is that the plot doesn't seem to be building up to anything in particular. It?s not that nothing is happening; a lot it happening. It's just that it?s more character-driven than story-driven and even though all the characters are doing things, it just doesn't seem to be culminating to anything. I guess I'll see when I start the third book.
Harry Potter books (Everyone has read these)
Tolken: Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. Very good books, but not my favourites. I?d say they?re worth the read even if you've seen the films.
Life of Pi, I don't know the author. (re)Reading this at the moment. Mainly because it?s on my English course. It?s quite a good, and interesting, book. I recommend it.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. I don?t like this book at all. It's inconsistent, mildly irritating and damn boring. It?s slightly interesting, but only slightly. I really should take it off my shelf
Attila...er...can't remember the author right now. It?s a novel based off of Attila the Hun (shock!). Good enough, not great. Not much else to say on it
Douglas Adams: The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. Good book, not as good as the Hitchhiker?s Guide to the Galaxy (which I can?t find)
