When I was a preteen the Xanth series was best I've read.

Sad to say I dont do much reading. I try, but never have the patience to get past a chapter or two. I've read zillions of how to books on all kinds of stuff, but other than that I'm a movie buff.

I read those when I was like 12, I liked em.

Any book by Dan Brown, J.K Rowling and include the Pilars of the Earth there too.

For some reasons I love big and heavy books lol

Those are good too.
My personal favorite might be ender's game and related books, but I got lost at some point in the series.
 





"Open the pod bay doors' Hal." "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave" that is one of my most favorite dialogues from a book ever.

DUNE
At least the first 3 of the trilogy.
Asimov and Clark are great too.
Cat's Cradle was fun

I forgot Dune?!?! That book is insane! I want to actually read them all one day...
 
Dune is getting weird after Old Herbert died and his kid took over. It's becomming more fantacy style.

So I've heard, some people simply refuse to read the new ones. Herbert was a master of the written word, I can't see it being the same with him gone.
 
This is always a tough one, as one wants to list a looong list. But one fiction title always pops into my head 1st: Stranger in a Strange Land. I'll stop there.
:san:
 
Micheal Crichton is great, I was shocked when I found out that he had died (this was 2 years after it had happened, so I was a bit out of the loop). Blake, did you ever get your Sonar?

I did not know this. LOL i'm even more behind than you are.

I read somewhere that he had, although seeing a book by him for sale brings questions. I shall investigate.

Edit: Okay, yes, unfortunately, he has passed away, but it wasn't until November 4, 2008 at the age of 66. The dates were wrong the first time I heard about it.

thats a bummer!
 
+1 for the Old man and the sea -- so soothing and deep, read it on the sea shore during my vacation in Spain last year.

Other than that:
The Master and Margarita
The Alchemist

Also looking forward to read The Idiot when I have time (I mostly read technical literature or articles online, probably like majority here :))

But these are all serious. Speaking of fun books, in my early teens I read Jurassic Park in two days. Dinosaurs were my craze at the time like lasers are now :)
 
Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow series by Orson Scott Card, Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, the Shannara series and Word/Void trilogy by Terry Brooks, anything from the Known Space(Ringworld) series by Larry Niven. Starwars books are good too.
