      Book recommendations?

      I finished HP7 at about 3am this morning and I need something new to read. I'm looking for easy-reading, fantasy sort of books. To be honest I'm really just looking for HP8 :p. Harry Potter was the perfect sort of book for me and HP7 is definately my all time favorite. I also liked the Hobbit (but not LOTR - I'm too slow to follow the story and I lost interest after 10 or 11 chapters).

      I'd appreciate any recommendations you peeps have.
      Thanks in advance.

      Read HP7 again. I'm re-reading it now and am catching more of the details that I missed the first time.

      Trudi Canavan writes good fantasy books, check out her two trilogies. I recommend starting with the Magicians set. I forget what it's called but they all have white covers with a person in black robes on them.

      Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I took both of your advice. I'm about half way through the Deathly Hallows (taking it slow this time :p) and I just bought that Black Magician trilogy from Amazon.

      Thanks again.

      The Neverending Story. It's kind of like Harry Potter.

      Yeah, I've got that. I've had it since I was about 4 years old. It's a great book.

      If you haven't yet read the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman, DO SO! Those are my all-time favorite fantasy books.

      It's go a 4.5 star rating on Amazon, so I'll probably give it a look once I'm through with Trudi Canavan's books that goldney recommended. Thanks for your help, thegnome54.
