I Need Help... and Fast

[Stare]

Okay, so I'm a HUGE reader, like, really, really big. And I've run out of books to read. I loved THG, and also am just finishing Inkdeath, so... yeah. I like books that are like, possible, but impossible. I know that's confusing, but, I like fiction books that start off with an ordinary main character. So... I think you've figured out I want you to do, but just in case...
Please list some good books that you've read! Anything with adventure, and lots of... action! If you suggest a book, give a breif description of it, but no giveaways, okay?
Oh, and in case you are looking for some book series, I've listed some good books I've read below.

• The Percy Jackson series (now a movie)
  
• The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (even though it sounds like a non-fiction book, it's fiction, and really good)
  
• Bone (novels in comic book form, but very good)
  
• Island of the Blue Dolphins (beware, this books is sad at some parts )
  
• Kidnapped (trilogy)
  
• Dive (also trilogy, by the same author)
  
• Island (also trilogy, also by the same author)
  
• Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath (very good, lots of adventure. One or two tear jerkers, though)

The Uglies Series- A story of a young rebelling girl. (4/5 stars)
Shiver- A story of a girl who meets a werewolf that has been watching her for many years. (5/5 stars) CAUTION: ADULT MATERIAL
Hush Hush- A fallen angel and a teenage girl meet and she discovers the secrets of his past. (5/5 stars)

Eragon is a good one, if you enjoy Dragon-type books.
DragonKeeper Chronicles. Another dragon book.

I loved The Goose Girl, by Shannon Hale and its companion books. It's based on a German fairy tale, I think, and it's really good in the sense that it's like a fairy tale for teens. And if you've read Hale before, it's just one of her best. :] Don't know if you've read it before.

Graceling is also pretty good. I've yet to read Fire, it's companion book. They're action-filled and exotic--in another world, where certain people (Gracelings) have certain talents, called Graces.

Ooh and also--read Tamora Pierce's Beka Cooper, Terrier and Bloodhound. They're mysteries, action, and a little black cat, too. (not witchery or anything... it's just a black cat with purple eyes <3) Tammy's Alanna series are also amazing. It's like the Disney movie Mulan, but the girl doesn't get found out as soon. :]

Hopefully that'll keep you reading for a while :]

My personal favorite would be either Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare, Once Upon a Marigold<all-time favorite childhood book, or Cryptid Hunters<about Cryptozoology, a set of twins, and a family history.

PS: Did you watch the Percy Jackson movie? I hear it's awful--and they chose ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE FOR THE CAST but I shan't waste your time ranting about it. D:<

The Tomorrow Series is excellent. I'm only on the 3rd book but it's really good and I think theirs like 5 or 6 of them. 10/10
Harry Potter all the way. Slow start but very excellent book. 8/10
NEVER NEVER NEVER READ TWILIGHT!!!! -10/10
I would also like to suggest the Eragon series. (Any one know when the last one comes out?)
The Mortal Instruments series is very very good. only 3 books though, City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass. (http://www.mortalinstruments.com/mortalseries.html)
all the books (except twilight) have A LOT of action. ESP the Tomorrow series and The Mortal Instruments

The Percy Jackson movie was great imo.

OH OH SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL NICHOLAS FLAMMEL. I love that series.

Let's see...

The Pendragon series by D. J. MacHale is brilliant, and starts out with a completely normal person. 'Course, then it gets bloody confusing and totally NOT normal, but it all clears up by the end. Sort of...
Truancy by Isamu Fukui is on both my most-loved and most-hated book lists. Most-loved because it's fracking amazing, and most-hated because... well, that's for me to know and other people to preferably not find out. >.> Anyways, it's good.
I have friends who might kill me for this, but as far as Tamora Pierce goes, forget Beka Cooper and even Alanna (who I adore). I am and probably always will be partial to the Immortals quartet.
Um... *wracks brains* Anything written by Shannon hale is worthy of adoration and love. I'm especially fond of The Book of a Thousand Days.
My brain's dead now, but I'm sure I'll be back. Good luck! ^^

Jennifer Government = The near future where everyone's last name is the corporation they work for. Hack Nike finds himself entwined in all sorts of corporate scandals just by signing a contract without reading it.

I think I'm mostly seconding people at this point but:
Scott Westerfeld-Uglies 8/10
anything by Tamora Pierce (particularly Becka Cooper 9/10)
Holly Black-Tithe 8.5/10
Cassandra Claire-Mortal Instruments series 7/10
Lemony Snicket-A Series of Unfortunate Events (kinda kiddie but totally awesome 7/10)
Kathleen Duey-Skin Hunger 8/10
Carrie Ryan-The Forest of Hands and Teeth (ZOMBIES, well thought out zombies 10/10)

[cinder]

One of these days Ill put up a list of what I currently have on my book shelf. I already have a list but it needs updating -coughcoughOCDcough-

Very good books listed so far. I dont believe anybody has talked about Maximum Ride yet. That series owns.

[logan]

Cryptid Hunters-about twins who look for their parents that were lost on a expedition and they go on a long adventure into Africa to find them involving cryptids and this guy trying to kill them i forgot why.

Oh, Dante's Inferno is actually called The Devine Comedy. It's about a guy who goes to hell then to heaven. It's very good!

Here are among the top of my all time favoriates.

The Pendragon series, by DJ Machale. It's a brillent read. The main character is bobby pendragon, he is a normal guy till his uncle comes and takes him away by telling him 'there are some people that need help' But it's anything bu ordinary, once they go on the flume he's transportated to diffrent worlds, territorys, and learns of halla. Halla is everything that ever was or will be, and there's a travler called Saint Dane who's intent is tearing the whole thing down. There's alot more but I was never good at summeries.

Then there's the Truancy, that's a GREAT series. It's pretty much a city, with large walls surrounding it, the cities only goal is to control everyone in it, through education. But Then the truancy arouse, led by Zrid. Tak was a studant. Ah, g2g, I'll finish this later.
