Im shopping on Amazon.com trying to find a descent book to read. I could use some sugestions. Im into the fantasy books. A few series I can recommend are listed below if it helps give an idea what im looking for.

Legend of the Seeker (I HIGHLY reccomend this series, its bout 10 books long).
Mortal instruments series (city of ash,bone,glass)
Sookie Stackhouse
Vampire Diaries
Vampire Academy
Eragon (the whole series)
I guess twilight and Harry Potter go without saying.

It may seem im into the vampire thing from 3 of the series I mentioned but im open to anything.
 
You seem to be the same reading level/style as my kids here are a few they are reading this summer - not fantasy but some you may still really like and I highly reccomend.:

The Education of Little Tree - Forest Carter
Watershipdown - Richard Adams
The Power of One - Bryce Courtney
The Pearl - John Steinbeck
The Call of the Wild - Jack London

I am 36 years old, and LOVED the Twilight series! I am a big fan of Janet Evanovich. She has a new one out, "Finger Lickin' 15". Start at the first one, and you will be hooked! She is hilarious, like laugh out loud while reading funny. Her character Stephanie Plum is a Jersey girl trying to make it as a bail bondsman. She has a gun toting gramma who loves to go to the funerals of anybody, am XL ex hooker sidekick, and two love interests. There is also a cross dressing singer thrown in there later. TOO FUNNY!
 
I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels, love them. I just finished "The Secret Life of Bees." Now I'm not sure what to read next, I may read a few Louis L'Amour novels.
 
"How to Grow and Produce Your Own Food." - Charles Boff, 1946, Odhams Press, London

Long out of print and never reprinted that I know of, this one is a keeper. A classic of self-sufficient living. The chapter on chickens, alone, is worth the price paid for the book.

I am through 3 books of this series and am totally hooked. I can't wait until I can get my hands on #4! Terry Goodkind is amazing!

I also enjoy anything by Iris Johansen and quite a bit of Dean Koontz. Dean Koontz's Frankenstein (though I don't think he has gotten #3 out yet) is a really good 3-book series (surprisingly). Lisa Gardner is also good at holding my interest. Most of my books are by the three aforementioned authors. I have nearly everything Dean Koontz and Irish Johansen ever wrote and a few from Lisa Gardner. I also really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings books. I like action/mystery and fantasy with as little romance as possible, lol.
