Recommend me some books!...Please.

Gotta be "The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.
I won't spoil it for you, but the answer is 42.

Try reading Orcs by Stan Nicholls. I love this book! Also you've probably read it but i was amazed at how much i loved The Hobbit and i will be starting it soon :3. I'm sorry, but i don't know any book for kids, i usually read books that are like Orcs (and that is totaly not for kids XD).

Call of Cthulu, The Hobbit for example. And The Witcher books.

Honor Harrington series by David Weber.
My favorite author and my favorite series, and my favorite genre (sci fi)

Kill your friends, by John Niven

Not sure if these were recommended but if so here they are again.

The wheel of time - just finished the final book. Fantastic series.
The sword of truth - 9 books long and one of my faves.
The unremembered - first book came out a little while ago and I enjoyed it.
The walking dead novels - first 2 books are out right now

The Book Thief and I am the Messenger, both by Markus Zusak

Maybe it's not exactly the genre you asked for but these two books are awesome =)

Ever read Wheel of time? its very good, a bit old now, and the original author of the series died, I believe his son is finishing his work? Caan't remember exactly. Will take you weeks or months to finish.

For something lighter, try Atermis Fowl, or the authors other book (cant rmember the name right now) with supernatural creatures in the description - they were blue and the main characters an orphan, if it helps.

the Skulduggery Pleasant series (6 or 7 books already) from Derek Landy.
it's fantasy with a lot of humor and the earlier books are also for younger readers I think. about Harry Potter level.
the heroine is a 12 year old girl in the first book, so if your niece is around that age she'll love it too.

Been personally reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I have read several great Light Novels.

• Vampire Hunter D.
• Socrates in Love (your niece should be able to read this one... depends on age though)
• Kino's Journey

Non-Animeish novels that I've liked:

• Ranger's Apprentice (niece could read this)

Can't think of anything else right now... but I have read quite a bit of books :P

Any book by Terry Pratchett.

I like these you.decide-yourself books. Don't know how they are called out of here, but in Germany they are named "Die Welt der 1000 Gefahren" (The World of 1000 dangers) or "Die Welt der 1000 Abenteuer" ( The World of the 1000 Adventures)

Try Feng Shen Ji, it is cool.

Blindsight by Peter Watts if you looking for extra hard SciFi.

WarCraft books ;)

My teacher made me read 1984 by George Orwell last year, one of the best books I've ever read! Read it. Do it now! What are you waiting for??

I would recommend you books but honestly I don't read >>'

House of Leaves!

Darren Shan books, and Ken Folett maybe...

Dragon Age Calling and Stolen Throne or Art of Racing in the Rain

For kids: Swindle by Gordon Korman or Killer Pizza by Greg Taylor

Metro 2033, Metro 2034 Very good books c:!

Firestarter, The Dead Zone and The Long Walk (Stephen KIng)

I'd recomend you The Da Vinci Code and the Jules Verne books (The Mysterious Island, Around The World In 80 Days...).

I don't read very much but I liked a lot these ones.

World war z?? Any lovecraft?

This is a wonderful fantasy series for both young and old: http://www.tabarron.com/the-lost-years-merlin-epic
