Diskworld is the BEST and so are all of Tolkiens books. but there are definately a few more I would add
I’ve read only 3% of them, but like I said in “100 Movies” I’ve heard about a couple of them.
I’ve read 13. Would be 14 but I can never finish Bridge to Terabithia after seeing the movie. Sad, I know.
I have seen 36 of them. I just recently finished Tuck Everlasting and I am reading the Phantom Tollbooth. 😀
P.S. Hi, Jonbuddy!
Hi, wertys! 🙂
Anyway, I think the “Space Odyssey” series should be on here. I just finished the first book, 2001, and just got out 2010 from my library. The series should be on the “100 Movies” list as well.
YOU WATCHED THE MOVIE WHILE READING THE BOOK?!
No, I saw the movie and then read the book.
where’s the Fablehaven series?
They’re missing The Adventures of TinTin
Missing Eragon and Redwall
TRUE?
the book is okay but DO NOT watch the movie of where the wild things are! It’s incredibly gloomy.
I LOVE redwall!
No PENDRAGON??? That really surprises me!
Yeah, wheres Pendragon? Some more good books:
Hoot
Flipped
Hooray for all these… It’s awesome… I used one of these for my school assignments.
Good list, read about a quarter of them. Just one thing……
WHERE IS REDWALL????
