Hey i thought i would see what everybody's taste in books was, so i will list the books (series) i have read
1) The Game of Thrones books: first books i started reading (well since school) a couple of years back and it really got me into reading and wishing i had discovered how much i enjoy reading a lot sooner, eagerly awaiting the next book(s)
2) The Lorien Legacy books: (the average film 'I am Number Four' is based of the first book) i really enjoyed these books and looking forward to the next one due out later this year.
3) The Maze Runner books: really liked these books, they had their flaws and the ending was just about okay, although the fourth book (a prequel) had a decent plot it wasn't executed too well and the main male character was given the indestructible treatment, which took away a lot of it's potential, but still a good series as a whole and the movie isn't half bad either.
4) The Divergent books: Really enjoyed this books a lot and while again the ending was a little 'meh' it was a great read, shame about the movie though i really didn't like it that much compared to the book.
5) The Hunger Games books: I enjoyed the first two films and then finally after a while i decided to read the books and well i loved them, the deaths and the actual games was so good in the book (a few of them brutal, especially towards the end of book one, that poor guy getting slowly mauled and gnawed at for like a whole night while still being alive, even if he was a bit of a dick, that was undeserved)
6) The Gone books: (Michael Grant book series) really good series of books and i loved reading them and despite a few dips and disappointing moments i recommend it to people and could see it working as a tv series (although they might have to tone down things as they are kids)
7) The Mortal Instrument books: i was a surprised by this book and by the end i was wanting more of it (even after 6 pretty well sized books) the characters and storylines were great and i was really looking forward to the movie (wish i never watched it though hehe) yeah that sucked, but they are having a never crack at the books and turning it into a tv series, i have my hopes up for that.
 The Infernal Devices books: (prequel books to the mortal instrument books) i was hesitant because this is set way before the others and i wasn't sure if i would be able to get into it, well i was wrong and i really enjoyed the trilogy and again by the end i wanted more (replaced my fav character from TMI after reading this with one of the characters from these books) also as a result of this two book series i am really looking forward to the fact there is a trilogy set after TMI (sounding promising) and a sequel trilogy to this prequel and a book to tie them all in and give the entire series a conclusion, so this is a series that has legs.
9)The Magisterium books: same writer as 7 and 8 in the list and another good potential series, i think there are 5 in this series and i really enjoyed the first one, it is shaping up to be not your typical hero prevails and it has twist aplenty by the looks of it.
So yeah these are the books i have read in just around 2 years i think, i haven't gone into great detail, but depending on the response i will share more opinions on each, so let me know what you read and if you have read any of the above
