I'm also assuming you've read Harry Potter. Try Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Well if your into games I read the Halo series, but it wasnt as much as I suspected. Everything in the book got the same old stuff going. Not much difference.

I've really enjoyed reading Warhammer 40K books lately. You could try one of them.

They wrote books after the popularity of the games, like Star Wars books.

War of the World's was great.

Angels and Demons was my favorite book ever, it was about the Iluminati stealing antimatter and placing it in the Vatican, so it goes off during the papal elections. It's a prequel to Da vinci code

Ender's Game.ElZilcho90

That's an OK book except it kind of creeps me out that it's centered around a little boy playing a super hero role that should be fit for an older kid or an adult.

I like the Wheel of Time series, especially the first book, "The Eye of the World".

For fantasy, try A Song of Ice and Fire. It's a series written by George R.R. Martin.

Seconded. The Dune series is great.

I agree, though towards the end of the series the story becomes needlessly complicated, imo.

Starship Troopers.. I also have been reading some of the books in the Warhammer 40k universe like Gaunt's Ghosts, and Ultramarines Omnibus.

I Am Legend is another fantastic book (part sci-fi, part horror I suppose).

Ender's Game though I havn't read that book for years.

The Forgotten Realms books (there are a bunch) featuring Drizzt Dourden, by R.A. Salvatore.

The Dragonlance books by Hickman and Weiss.

As stated previously, the Dune books.
