)IT IS AWESOME. It's about this camp of boys who live inside a place called 'The glade'. The glade has a farm, and beds etc, it's not bad. But outside the glade is a huge maze full of monsters called 'Creepers'. Every day 10 boys go into the maze to try and find an exit.
I'll leave it at that, dont want to spoil too much now.
Hah! It's been out here (the US) since 2009! I love that book!
...anyways, I actually have a similar situation involving my mom, who's a high-school "YA literary specialist" (basically an English teacher and a librarian mixed). I got Mockingjay (third Hunger Games) about a week before it came out.

Asking me my favorite book is like asking me to pick my favorite... anything. Haha. I don't really pick favorites, there's just too much to love, in any category.
However, I like the Doctor Who books (donated to me by my mum), the Circle of 5 series (uh.. I think that's it, anyways. Starts with "The Dark is Rising", and "Over Sea, Under Stone"? Anybody?), and Pride and Prejudice. I can go into details if anybody wants them.

Well it had to be the single best book I have ever read.
It's like a semi modern Moby Dick but ten times better seriously you have got to read this book because it's just that good.
It's so good it's depressing because I know I will never dee anything as good ever again in my life.

I am going to forewarn you, that if you read it, you will want to sob, or perhaps gouge your eyes out with a frozen spoon, but if you complete it, you will be stronger. Albeit a bit dumber.

This book is masterpiece writing. And no matter how hilariously bad it is, it will forever
be better than Twilight.

I want this. You know you want it too.
I'm currently reading Watchmen since my brother is a comic book fan. :3 Alan Moore is a genius. It's also much better than the film (which is also good).
... Also, speaking of fanfiction, Respawn of the Dead (TF2 with zombies) is very good.

Yeah, I know. Actually, the first is still my favorite of the series, but, you know. Still awesome. I'm a huge fan of Gregor the Overlander (also by Collins). It's got a different dynamic, but the same level of awesome as the Hunger Games. You should check it out.

If you're interested in FFVI, but don't feel like playing the game, this is recommended for you. Excellent writing, script loosely based on the SNES version and perfect characterization make this one of the best fanfics I've ever seen.

I mentioned a while back in the thread that I was reading Havemercy -- I've since finished it and read its two sequels, Shadow Magic and Dragon Soul and I find this series absolutely fantastic :D It's fairly obscure, but if there are any fans here, I'd love to know and say hi~
Also, any Neil Gaiman fans in the house? I've got my hands on Anansi Boys and American Gods and am wondering which one I should read first. Not sure it matters, but, just wondering!~

YES. I often find myself reading two books at once- one for academic purposes, the other for mere pleasure...guess which one Gaiman most often is?

Mephistos series by freelance artist Naniiebim is also very cool. I met her at a comic convention in Birmingham and she signed the first two volumes. She's a very good artist and very friendly.

I've only read the prologue and first chapter so far. The story is quite dark but Yahtzee's prose loses none of its insane wit and colorful descriptions that make his narrative skill unique. I recommend checking it out.

I have to say, I couldn't bear this book. It was just too bleak for me and I found the writing was really pretentious as well.
I love all of Kate Atkinson's books though- beautifully written and so much black humour <3
