Percy Jackson Series: by Rick Riordan
Book 1: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Book 2: The Sea of Monsters
Book 3: The Titan's Curse
Book 4: The Battle of the Labyrinth
Book 5: The Last Olympian
Commentary: Awesome series! It will get you sucked in right away. After reading the first book, you can't wait till you get your hands on the second!
The Red Pyramid: by Rick Riordan
Commentary: This book is awesome! I'm just in the middle of it, and it's so interesting! I just bought the book today(9/18/2010) from Borders. I can't wait to read it!
The Lost Hero: by Rick Riordan
Commentary: This book hasn't come out yet. Its coming out on October 12th. I can't wait to read it! You can read the first two chapters of the book at CampHalfBlood.com. It'll ask for a password, and the password is: "newhero". Without the quotes, mind you. Rick Riordan gave out the password some time ago. You can watch Rick Riordan's commentary-like video on the book here: Disney Books: Heroes of Olympus Videos. The official series site is here: Disney Books: Heroes of Olympus.
Ranger's Apprentice: by John Flanagan
Book 1: The Ruins of Gorlan
Book 2: The Burning Bridge
Book 3: The Icebound Lake
Book 4: The Battle for Skandia
Book 5: Sorceror of the North
Book 6: Siege of Macindaw
Book 7: Erak's Ransom
Book 8: Kings of Clonmel
Commentary: I love these books! I'm only on the 4th book, but its just like the Percy Jackson series: You just can't wait to get your hands on the next book. I totally recommend it!
The Supernaturalist: by Eoin Colfer
Commentary: Its a really good book. It'll make you keep on turning the pages and make you think and ask questions. If you like Fantasy or Sci-Fi, you'll really enjoy this book.

Book 2: Point Blanc
Book 3: Skeleton Key
Book 4: Eagle Strike
Book 5: Scorpia

Inheritance Cycle: by Christopher Paolini
Book 1: Eragon
Book 2: Eldest
Book 3: Brisingr
Commentary: I personally LOVE this series. I can't wait for the fourth book to come out! The series is about young Eragon who finds a dragon egg. When it hatches, he's in for a huge adventure. You just have to read the series to have all the awesome action and fun!

Book 1: The Alchemyst
Book 2: The Magician
Book 3: The Sorceress
Book 4: The Necromancer

Re: Need a Good Book to Read? Come here.
FINALLY someone else who reads Ranger's Apprentice! And yeah, there are eight books in total, and counting I believe.
Ruins of Gorlan
Burning Bridge
Icebound Lake
Battle for Skandia (I believe that at this point they have different names at a few different areas, that would explain why you called it The Oakleaf Bearers, as I believe that's one of the alternate titles)
Sorceror of the North
Siege of Macindaw
Erak's Ransom
Kings of Clonmel
I believe that he's still making more. And Percy Jackson and the Inheritance Cycle are crazy epic as well.

Thanks for telling me the names! Yeah, I only have the first book, and in that it says Oak Bearers. But I'll add the names too. Oh, and since you're ranked much higher than me, do you think I should keep my opinions on books, or remove them?

Re: Need a Good Book to Read? Come here.
Those books sound great! Ever tried Lord of the Rings or Eragon? their both short series but they are really good.
Lord of the Rings:
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Twin Towers
The Return of the King
Eragon:
Eragon
Eldest
Brisingr
(Christopher Paolini said There will be another book after Brisingr even though I had heard it was the last one. I was like "WHAT!? I havent even gone though Eldest and i was so looking forward to the end and he's making ANOTHER ONE!?!?!?")
Well, thats it I guess. One day though I have to find Ranger's Apprentice. It sounds interesting. I love books!

Re: Need a Good Book to Read? Come here.
Nikki Sixx: Heroin Diary.
The story of Nikki Sixx, the base player of the band Mötley Crue (kick ass band btw) and his and the bands struggles with drugs, fame, women, band inside fights etc.
It's something like The Dirt, almost similar consept but about the band whole together.
The Heroin Diary is from Nikkis eyes and experiences. I recommend highly to those who understand and listens to glam-rock!

Re: Need a Good Book to Read? Come here.
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl is much better than the Supernaturalist.
Besides, there is also Terry Brooks' Shannara series.

Re: Need a Good Book to Read? Come here.
You can't go wrong with Stephen King I'm working The Shining atm. Sure, I've seen the movie and Jack Nicholson kicks it but the book always is the better half.
Hard to read it sometimes though, I always imagine the movie while reading it. Can't really get that wild imagination to flow that easily. So if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend that you read the book first.
It's about about a writer with a wife and young son who accepts the job of off-season caretaker at an isolated hotel. And things get wicked there, hehe.
Same goes with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. An masterpiece movie but even greater book.

I can't edit my post so..
The Wish List: by Eoin Colfer
Commentary: This book is a really good book. A girl dies and she gets sent back to the real world to help an old man. This is because her aura is not good, but not bad either. So, she tries to get Blue Aura to get to heaven while somebody from hell tries to stop her.
