harry potter

i finished reading the harry potter books a couple weeks ago and ive been unable to get interested in any book since. such a good series...i was so sad to finish. i need someone to recommend something as good or better because im dying here!!

i know exactly what you mean. i love harry potter. i don't even remember how i started reading the series but i was hooked from day one. i just keep reading them over and over again. i have a book that you can read but it's different from harry potter. it's actually two books my an author named Emily Giffin. The first is "Something Borrowed" and the the second is "Something Blue"...

I love the Harry Potter books too.... I don't think I'll find another fiction set I'd enjoy as much. But I just finished reading Empress and The Lady Elizabeth. Empress has some very graphic stuff in it, but if you can deal with that all in all it's a good story. It's historical fiction about China's only female emporer. The Lady Elizabeth is mainly fact with the author's musings on a few of the mysteries that surrounded the life of Queen Elizabeth I.

graphic hehe...looks like we found my next book!

try pillers of the earth

I also read a lot of John Grisham books... don't know if it's your thing, but I also just finished "The Last Juror"...it was good.

I was wrong! I found a series I was even more engrossed in than Harry Potter! I just read all four books in the Twilight series in one week - I couldn't put them down.

You should read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It's seriously brilliant. High fantasy, with such enormous scope, real epic stuff. Ignore the fact that the beginning seems to be based on LOTR. It is better than that. You have 11 books so far, and the last one will be released next year. It's one of those series that you have to read again and again to get everything from it, and even then you don't know all that has happened. There are massive online forums dedicated to nothing but theories on which character did what and why. So, you not only get to enjoy the series many, many times, but you also get to enjoy it away from the books too.

Seriously, you should really check it out.

Also try Raymond Feist and Janny Wurt's Empire series, and Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies. Good reading. 🙂

The only thing I ever read that even came close to the tight, well thought out, and general excellence in writing found in Harry Potter was the Lord of the Rings series.

Yes, I know, antiquated. Spare me your virtual thrusts of disdain. It is a very good story, well told, albeit overly long. They are quite a tale, all in all.
