I've been meaning to read those for a while now, I just haven't got around to it. They sound very interesting.

They make no sense to any human that has ever lived (and this most probably includes Douglas Adams himself) which is why I love them. The senslessness is beautiful

-Inheritance Cycle a.k.a. the Eragon series (Christopher Paolini)
-Black Magician Trilogy (Trudi Canavan)
-Traitor Spy Trilogy (Trudi Canavan)
-Night Angel Trilogy (Brent Weeks) --> all-time favourite
-A Doll's House (Henrik Ibsen)
-1984 (George Orwell)
-Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
-The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
-The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien)
-Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)

All I can think of right now but I'm sure there are more.

The black magician trilogy! Those are some of my favourite books too, even if I didn't mention them on the list. I haven't heard of some of the others, but of those I have I wholeheartedly approve.

Trudi Canavan is definitely one of my favourite fantasy authors of all time. And if you liked The Black Magician books, you must read the Traitor Spy series (the sequel series) and The Magician's Apprentice (prequel).

I had heard that apparently the other series were very similar to this one, but I shall certainly give them a look =P

Well they're similar because they just build on the same story. That doesn't make them any less awesome.

True. Although I am perpetually in the middle of 'A Clash Of Kings' due to a mix of slow reading and never making the time

Oh the horror of not being able to read due to lack of time.

And having to read boring school-related things instead.

I'm looking at you, high school English teacher.

Hey, I am going to be one of those someday. I will be sure to include only the finest of American literature for my students to read. Like the Book of Mormon.

I dunno really what to reply so I'll just say I love The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett. :3
