Heinlein books. Classic sci-fi is a good thing. Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Methuselah are my favourites. Note: ST has nothign to do with the awful exciuse of a movie. Nothing.

I also heard that Potter fans would enjoy reading a book called Eragon. I don't know anything about it, except that it has been on the NY Times Best Seller List for quite awhile.

"The Arthur Trilogy" by Kevin Crossley-Holland. I read the first one in a few days and am now reading the second. They're really amazing. Unfortunately, the third book in the trilogy isn't coming out until October. Don't any of you discard it as another formalic King Arthur trilogy before taking a look at it. It's very different from what you would expect.

I love Stephen King , all his novel are creepy.

 

[TheDandyMan]

I don't really like Harry Potter, but I think that Potter fans might enjoy Clive Barker's Abarat series.

Why not read Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen. Rowling ripped off her book, after all.

 

[lizardbit]

How about "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice? That includes, The Vampire Lestat, Interview with a Vampire, The Tale of the Body thief, and some others.

If you're desperate for specifically Harry Potter stuff (or for a laugh):

Some of it's good, some of it's bad (and I mean wash-eyes-out-with-bleach-BAD) -- all of it is Harry Potter! Haha!

Actually, I satisfy myself by reading completely different stuff to take my mind off of it. Recently I read Katherine Neville's "The Eight," which was excellent, as well as "Life of Pi" by an author named Martel. I'm going to read a book called "The Unburied" next -- I can't remember the author, but it's Victorian-style. None of these are fantasy, but oh well. Whatever works, right?

 

[PaladinValer]

I'm amazed Tolkien's Lord of the Rings isn't on this list!

 

[indigo tree]

Well since Paladin already gave Tolkein a nod, I'll say The Once and Future King by T.H. White.

 

[tweek821]

Some of those books are realkly good. I can't wait until the next Potter is released.

Me neither. The book 'Eragon' is by a kid who rote the first draft of the book when he was 15. He is now 19, and living well and he was inspired by the Lord of the Rings books, and the Harry Potter Books. It is about a dragon. I have not actually read it, but one of my best friends has, and they loved it.
