    Oooh! Someone mentioned "The Virgin Suicides"! That is a fabulous book, I absolutely fell i love with it and its inexplicable characters!!! Anyone who saw the film and didn't like it, ignore that, I thought the film was only okay. It's a bit too short though, I got through it in a day.

    The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy = epic
    The His Dark Materials Trilogy = glorious
    Hitch-Hikers guide? Not as good as Discworld, but good none the less
    The Wheel Of Time decilogy?, by Robert Jordan. Even though the ends are beginning to fray, the first 8 are pure gold.
    The Discworld series, by Terry Pratchett = always funny
    and all the other misc. literature like WB Yeats,Romeo & Juliet,and the great masterpiece that is Doonesbury
