I was just wondering what kinds of books you guys like, so I made this thread.
For my part, I really love the books Catch-22*, by Joseph Heller, and Flyboys*, by James Bradley.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

A Wrinkle in Time (and the rest of the series) by Madeleine L'Engle is pretty good

One of my favorite single books (not a series) is Battlefield Earth, by Ron Hubbard. I've heard the movie kind of butchers it but the book is just great
Also Watership Down (Richard Adams) is pretty good.

Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan
(careful, though, 'cause it's 12 books of 700+ pages
)
Epic and Saga, by Conor Kostick

The Edge Chronicles is a good series, by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.

Anything by Ernest Hemingway is good -- my favorite is Old Man and the Sea.

Forgot to mention the other good books in the series, which admittedly aren't as "Great"

I liked Dune, but I thought the sequels were boring.

I agree with you on Pendragon, and The Hunger Games.
I also like the Airborn series by Kenneth Oppel.

Hmm, dune, never heard of it I should check it out.
I liked the pendragon series a lot, but only read the first few books (the first book I though was dull, but the second, third and fourth were *awesome*)
Also, "The Ruby Way" was a great book

the last apprentice is also really good again i forget the author though >.<
the first book in pendragon was a slow start it was a lot to wrap your head around and it was a pretty simple setup after that though it just goes crazier and crazier awesome it is indeed i do recommend finishing them
