![]() | Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

|
![]() | Beowulf (Signet Classics) by Anonymous
Buy new: $4.95 / Used from: $0.25 Once you get used to the way the story is told, it is a highly enjoyable book.
|
![]() | 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.99 I like Clarke's book much better than the movie. It allows for a deeper understanding of the characters and the mission.
|
![]() | 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $0.97 Clarke's sequel to 2001, 2010 is a fantastic book. This is probably my favorite book in the series.
|
![]() | 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $0.87 The third book in the Odyssey series, I enjoyed this book quite a bit. While it didn't have the wow factor of it's predecessor, 2010, I still found it enjoyable.
|
![]() | 3001 The Final Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy new: $16.24 / Used from: $7.76 The conclusion of the Odyssey series, this book brings back a character that I had mostly forgotten about by this point in the series. While I liked the elaboration on the future society, I disliked the fact that he retconned a major part of the previous book.
|
![]() | Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Buy new: $3.50 / Used from: $0.90 While not Dickens' best by any means, I still found the book to be quite enjoyable.
|
![]() | David Copperfield (Penguin Classics) by Charles Dickens
Buy new: $9.00 / Used from: $1.99 One of my favorite books by any author, the highly autobiographical David Coppefield is an amazing classic.
|
![]() | Eragon (Inheritance) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.09 I was given the book, or would've probably never picked it up. While I don't find it to be worthy of the media sensation it created, it was still an enjoyable book, and Paolini does have some talent.
|
![]() | Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
Buy new: $11.56 / Used from: $4.89 Like Eragon, I was given this book, or I would've never read it. Fun, children's fantasy the unfolds like a fairy tale.
|
![]() | The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia) by C. S. Lewis
Buy used from: $0.01 This is my second favorite book in the Narnia series. I absolutely love the characters in this book.
|
![]() | The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Movie Tie-in Edition (rack) (Narnia) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 A fun, light read. Although enjoyable, Lewis' writing doesn't seem to be as mature here as it is in later books.
|
![]() | The Horse and His Boy (The Chronicles of Narnia, Full-Color Collector's Edition) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 Lewis' excercise is world-building, The Horse and His boy is seperated a bit from standard Narnia fare. I liked this book, but it does seem to be an odd choice to tell this tale on Lewis' part.
|
![]() | Prince Caspian Read-Aloud Edition: The Return to Narnia by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $7.20 / Used from: $6.37 The fourth Narnia book, Prince Caspian is one of the better in the series. It is a good adventure story, and features the Pevensies at their finest.
|
![]() | The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 5, Full-Color Collector's Edition) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 My personal favorite book out of the entire series. Lewis adds several layers of characterization to previous characters that adds some emotional value not found as much in other books.
|
![]() | The Silver Chair (The Chronicles of Narnia, Full-Color Collector's Edition) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 This book reminds me a lot of The Horse and His Boy. While more closely tied to the roots of the Narnia series than that book, it just seems to be an odd tale to tell. I really enjoyed it, however, and some of the new creatures are fantastic.
|
![]() | The Last Battle (The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 7) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.42 A little heavier than the previous tales, The Last Battle is a great book. Although I was a tad let down at the conclusion, the ride there is excellent.
|
![]() | Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy, Book One) by C.S. Lewis
Buy new: $9.36 / Used from: $4.39 The first book in Lewis' not-quite-as-popular Space Trilogy, Out of the Silent Planet is a FANTASTIC read. The allegory here isn't as blatant as Narnia, and the way Lewis describes the flora and fauna of a foreign planet is great.
|
![]() | The Screwtape Letters: With Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $13.54 Wow. This, to me, is C.S. Lewis' finest work. I don't know how many times I have recommended this book to my friends. It is outstanding.
|
![]() | The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 The Bad Beginning is an all right book that sets up a very good series. While a bit more childish than later entries, I did enjoy the read.
|
![]() | The Reptile Room - Book 2 of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
Buy used from: $0.01 My favorite book in the entire series. I don't know what it is about The Reptile Room that I like so much, but I absolutely loved this book.
|
![]() | The Wide Window: Or, Disappearance! (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 3) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.88 The Wide Window is not my favorite in the series, but is still enjoyable. I really liked Aunt Josephine and I was sad to see her go.
|
![]() | The Miserable Mill (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 4) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 This is probably my least favorite entry in the series. There a few elements of this novel that just seem out of place. I loved the end of the book, however.
|
![]() | The Austere Academy (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 5) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 A pretty good book, I detested the Princinple of the so-called Austere Academy, which is what Handler intended I supposed. This book also introduces some new characters that have great import upon later books in the series.
|
![]() | The Ersatz Elevator (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 6) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 One of my favorite books in the series, Jerome and Aunt Squalor are probably my favorite (legal) guardians in the entire series.
|
![]() | The Hostile Hospital (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 8) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 The Hostile Hospital is another of the stronger entries in the series, and I liked the synbolic conclusion to the novel.
|
![]() | The Carnivorous Carnival (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 9) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 A bit darker than the previous books, I really enjoyed The Carnivorous Carnival. It sets up the tone for the rest of the series.
|
![]() | The Slippery Slope (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 10) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 The Slippery Slope is a bit more interesting than some of the previous books, as the Baudelaires are finally somewhat seperated. It is nice to see how Sunny handles herself when away from her older siblings.
|
![]() | The Grim Grotto (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 11) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 The Grim Grotto is one of the best books in the series. The Captain is probably my favorite character in any of the books.
|
![]() | The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $0.01 A more adult book than some of the previous entries, The Penultimate Peril does a great job setting up the scene for the conclusion of the series.
|
![]() | The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13) by Lemony Snicket
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $1.39 A fantastic book. This book shows a tremendous amount of growth in the Baudelaires, and successfully concludes the series.
|
![]() | The Rising Force (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 1) by Dave Wolverton
Buy used from: $0.01 One of the few ways to get me to read YA novels is to add Star Wars to the title. Mr. Wolverton does a good job setting up the series, and doesn't dumb the book down at all.
|
![]() | The Dark Rival (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 2) by Jude Watson
Buy used from: $0.01 Ms. Watson's first entry into the series, she manages to, for the most part, keep up the standards set by Wolverton in the first book.
|
![]() | The Hidden Past (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 3) by Jude Watson
Buy used from: $0.01 The Hidden Past allows for some character development in young Obi-Wan and is one of the better books in the series.
|
![]() | The Mark of the Crown (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 4) by Jude Watson
Buy used from: $0.01 A more direct sequel than the previous books, I'm glad to see Watson expand on previously established thread.
|
![]() | The Way of the Apprentice (Star Wars: Jedi Quest, Book 1) by Jude Watson
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 I liked this book, but I did have a few problems with Anakin's character. While I like the fact the she alluded to Anakin's darkside urges, she seemed to stress it a bit too much.
|
![]() | Elminster: The Making of a Mage (Forgotten Realms: Elminster) by Ed Greenwood
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Greenwood has an interesting writing style that's hit or miss. While I really enjoyed the book, I understand that a lot of people may have problems with the way he writes.
|
![]() | Elminster in Myth Drannor (Forgotten Realms: Elminster) by Ed Greenwood
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 My personal favorite book in the series. I like that Ed didn't make Elves out to be the flawless angels that they are usually made out to be. They vie for power, they have internal politics, they have ulterior motives, they aren't perfect.
