"weird"

these books are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all in the eye's of the beholder...

My teenage daughter asked me to read the Twilight series and I did- it was cheesy and I hated myself for not putting the book down, but I did secretly love feeling young in a sense. If a book brings you back to high school it can't be that bad, it's the aftermath and the craze that pains you but I do heart Edward. I will NOT watch the movie though because my picture of Edward is farrrrrr better than the actor that was cast;)

OMG, THE TWILIGHT SAGA IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST BOOKS! JUST L...O...V...E IT!!!

I hope maybe one day I can publish It."

Haha, my older brother read Twilight in three days...he said it was okay. HE then read New Moon in two days adn said that Twilgith was better. Haha, I thought it was funny. My dad and him haven't read Eclipse yet though, I wonder who will get to it first, of course my older brother said he wasn't going to read Eclipse, but he also said that for New Moon! Hehe. :)

I just don't understand why Vampire Academy series are not on the top 10 list!! Seriously those books are a PAGE TUNERS

i like all of them its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i LOVE the twilight books anyone else??????????????????

The list was quite extensive. I did see a few that look very interesting. Henry Miller's "Books in My Life" sounds very good. I recommend "Can't Go Home Again" by Thomas Wolfe. I invite comments and recommendations. Have a good read.

Laurell Hamilton is a good read for vampire action. PN Elrod's Vampire files is also a fun read...but will keep the others in mind. Thank you.

The FABELHAVEN series should be on this list and rated a '5' every time.

Twilight series are great. I alos love classical books such as Wuthering Heights. I should also add that 'Little Women' is a great too

New Moon is one of my wife's favourites. The film is pretty cool too.

The Twilight series is really amazing.

The Twilight saga is ok i read the first 3 in 5th grade and the 4th on at the beginning of 6th grade. Its very lovey-dovey though...

i have read some of the books but would like to read the rest of them.

i've read the first three

I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the best

the shack was a really good book. u really get into it after a little bit

The Marriage of Biker Poetry and Photographic Genius:
Q-Ball’s master lens and Sorez the Scribe’s road-sharpened pen ignites the page with the lure of the steel pony, the rolling thunder, the chink, chink, chink of the gravel, and a brotherhood that rides forever towards the horizon. While there are many photo books that spread bikers and their motorcycles flat out across a coffee table, and certainly Biker Poetry is beginning to stand on its own in the poetry community, Living the Life is the 'IMAX of Biker Nation.' Sorez’s poetic cadence draws you into Q-Ball’s lens where you are not just looking at some pictures, you are on the bike, riding with the pack, or just taking a solo run into the wind. From Basket Case to Road to Redemption Q-Ball and Sorez bring the Code of Ethics into 'True 3D Soul' with photo-word-graphics.
Living the Life is more than a photo-documentary, or a poetry book, and it is deeper than a historical perspective, Living the Life is history in the making - a history that can open the pipes and blast down highways at the speed of light.

I find it interesting that the Twilight fans do not excel in the area of spelling.

I read the Twilight series. Twice. Why? Because I couldn't remember the story after reading it the first time. And let me tell you, the second time through was excruciating.

This is the first time I've made my opinion on the series known, and I have to say, it feels good.

my, you are seriously deprived of well-written books, aren't you?

I am a huge fan of the Twilight Saga and The Host!, but I agree Stephenie Meyer in terms of being a writer is not the best author ever, I believe authors such as Dan Brown deserve that type of praise. But I don't agree with the negative comments about Stephenie Meyer, the writing she does is incredible, she doesn't write for the vampire audience specifically, it's not supposed to be dark and dangerous, but after reading the full saga you understand why people love her and her characters she has created so much, she is very talented, I couldn't write like that...

I'm sorry, I just have to say THANK YOU for this. I'm really, truly sick of people who trying to convince everyone they should LOVE Twilight or HATE it. I figure, read it for whatever reason you want, and like or dislike it for the exact same reason. And leave everyone else alone.

the book series is for young people like if you go into barnes and nobles there in the children section but to tell the true they are good and extremely funny

The Twilight Series? I know that's all quite interesting, but the morale and integrity contained in the pages of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is priceless, the fantastical worlds of Middle-Earth and Narnia are unmatched in literary artistry... Entertainment and emotional exhilaration are important, I'm not downing Stephanie Meyer, but these are not the tales which "burn as cold iron" or leave the reader with a quality feeling of self-worth, determination to strive forward, or even develop one's sense of actuality. "Away from the deleterious influences of this existence's pernicious sentimentality does outstanding novels bring one."

A FEW BOOKS I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND(BEFORE ANY TEACHER ENFORCES YOU TO READ THEM):

Fantasy Lovers-
You like vampires?- Dracula.
Dungeons and dragons type?- Lord of the Rings or/and the Hobbit OR the Chronicles of Narnia (The CON series contains less description along with the Hobbit and make for easy fluent reads for those which this genra appeals to)

Sci-Fi
Future tales of America?-Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury is incredible)
Biological phenomenon?- Jurassic Park- (The Lost World, however, did not spark my interest)

Mystery? This is perhaps my least favorite genre, though it does have it's higher degree, relating to horror and teenage romances... Sherlock Holmes is all I can recommend... Don't care for either of these styles much, yet.

Historical Fiction-
Gettysburg era?- The Killer Angels
World War II?- Diary of Anne Frank
Ancient sort of taste? Iliad & Odyssey

Religious sort of person? Obviously the Bible, yet the Book of Mormon is fascinating itself. Don't judge it before reading, you don't need to believe in a book to grasp something beyond yourself from its pages. C.S. Lewis has many books which you may find of interest, under Christianity that is....

i know i love it sooo much

Yes, Twilight is amazing. Amazingly crappy.

Your daughter will probably appreciate epic literature. Maybe she will become a writer.

Best writer ever? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I think t..."

I would agree, that IS an outrageous statement. She may be the new hotness how, but I really don't feel like Meyer should be catogorized with authors who really are some of the best writers ever: Vladimir Nabokov, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Toni Morrison... those are examples for "best writers."

That being said, this list isn't titled: "Best Authors Ever" or even "Kind of Good Books"

Twilight is popular (even if I didn't like it), and it is logical that it would be on the list of what to read next... but ALL of them? On top? Really?

[image error]

Twilght sucks ass(excuse my language) thats just how i feel about that damn book, but theres another book up there that i belive every one on here (teens)should read, and its the series that made book number 42 which should really be in the top 5, i mean really are the VA LOVERS VOTING ANYMORE? but evry one as a tittle to their own opinions including me

I'm so confused. I just joined this website, and I thought it was an aggregator for people's reading interests.

Instead, all I'm finding is Twilight on EVERY. SINGLE. LIST. WTF.

yeah shut up about the book already damn yeah we kno about it end it

I really don't know what to read next... Got any Suggestions? :)

excellent work. I was able to recollect what i haave completed and what to be read. Nice list and also inspires me to read about newl books. good keep going.

Il like Stefanie Meyers books! She is not a bad author! Why would you think that? I hope you know that her books she writes are totally popular. I like her books i mean its just my opinion........ everyone thinks different. LOL!

Are you kidding me dont say that stefanie meyers and her books are a shame cause they are awesome and very popular!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! :)
