    Yes, it has been out for quite a while. However, the new "adult cover" release is due out this November, and it's possible that people don't realize it's just a cover change.

    I've been getting into this series recently is the Frank Burly novels by John Swartzwelder. There are just short comedy mysteries. The first is the Time Machine Did, the second is Double Wonderful, the third is How I Conquered Your Planet. Somebody else read them so we can discuss.

    I like Dr. Seuss. Nothing beats it. "Green eggs and ham." all the way. ;)

    How good are the eragon and eldest? I have seen them loads of times in the book store when I buy my manga.

    Eragon and Eldest are great, but right now I'm sucked in to David Brin. Both the Uplift and Uplift Storm trilogies are AMAZING, and every book is over 400 pages, so it's pretty engrossing.

    Uhm...lesse....LORD OF THE RINGS!!!! *pounces on the books* I despise reading, but I've read those books sooo many times...and I can't put them down when I start reading them. I love reading the Star Wars books too, but all the random spinoff-type books are getting annoying. C.S. Lewis has some amazing series too...he's one crazy guy.

    My fav series would have to be the sweep series. That and the Princess Diaries, they're nothing like the movies and actually she makes fun of the movies in them. ^_^ lol Granted she's a little to focuased on popularity but then again i've noticed that trend in Meg Cabot's book. Although right now i'm reading a bunch of philosophy books so i'm not really reading any novels at the moment.

    My favorite book series is Lord Of the Rings. I've re-read the famous trilogy at least 6 times over. Next in line is Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.Something that took him about 20 years to write .-....it's a grand epic!

    Tbh, I have difficulty pinning a favorite series. What series I start out loving, I end up getting more and more disappointed with as time goes on (Harry Potter) or I just get bored with it. (Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events). Right now I guess I could say Artemis Fowl, although the newer books aren't so great.

    Guess I'm more for single titles like Ella Enchanted, The Thief Lord and Stranger in a Strange Land.

    Warriors;) :eek:

    A friend of mine is addicted to them and kinda dragged me into it. We even have characters! Mine is Cloudtail:p I have never met anyone on the web who knows about the Warrior books. I joked around and told her I would write my own Warriors book series only instead of cats they would be chickens:p

    I'll admitt i haven't read the Warrior series but it looks interesting. I used to work at Waldenbooks and that series sells fairly well actually. At least it does in the Northwestern suburbs of Illinois.

    Aside from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'd say everything with Robin Hobb.

    Farseer Trilogy, Liveship Traders, The Solider Son and The Tawny Man :)
