This might die quickly, but I am going to post this anyways. List 10 books, comics, graphic novels, etc. you've read that you would recommend to others. Don't edit your choices, don't add all classics to look cool. Seriously add 10 books,etc. you have read and enjoyed. Don't worry if others have already listed one of your favorites. The more recommendations the better, right? 1. Sookie Stack house series by Charlaine Harris (there are 9 books in the series, so I made them all one) 2. The Watchman by Alan Moore 3. World War Z by Max Brooks 4. Anything by Nora Roberts 5. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling 6. The Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien 7. The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller 8. The Dragon Lance Chronicles: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, Dragons of Spring Dawning, Dragons of Summer Flame (I love these books) 9. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen* 10. The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan * I have the new Pride and Prejudice and Zombies on my bedside table  |

Speaking of Patterns...
1) The Sookie Bookies by Charlaine Harris. (I've even made a quest out of finding all the short Sookie stories in different anthologies!)
2) Aything by Patricia Briggs (Werewolves & medieval magic - not in the same series)
3) Anything by Kelley Armstrong
4) The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comics (when she still hunted vamps & before her author made her into a porn star)
5) The Stand by Stephen King. This should be required reading in every high school.
6) Interview with a Vampire & Witching Hour series by Anne Rice
7) The Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz (he switched from novel to graphic novel format for the newest one.)
8) The Harry Potter series by JK Rowlings
9) Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson
10) Carrie Vaughn' werewolf series
I read constantly, but these have been the ones that made an impact on me. I recommend them whole-heartedly. Also, I'm on hold at the library for the Zombie books Holley mentioned above.

Yes. Yes I do! hehe.. But I also like the Lored of Rings series. I also read a book called 'Watership Down' when I was in eighth grade. It is sort of like the Lord of the Rings series, but the characters are all rabbits. It's more of a young adult sort of read, but I'd still recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy/adventure books.
