Books that I'm going to read this summer are:
The Half Bood Prince 
The first book in the Dark Tower series by Steven King - and the others if it's good.
The 3rd book in the Across the Nightingale Floor books
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

I just finished reading the two books by Mary Hooper:
At the Sign of the Sugared Plum
Petals in the Ashes
They belong together. The second one is a sequel! It's very nice. It's a bout a girl in the 17th century who comes to London. You can really live into the place, the time and the characters!

the Golden Compass
the Subtle Knife
and the Amber Spyglass
He's also written more books that I haven't read. His website is www.philip-pullman.com I didn't like the ending to his Dark Materials books (:(), but they were still awesome!
Some other books I suggest:
Dragonlance!! I'm reading them now. Start with Rumor of Dragons and read all the books in that series. Then there's a bunch more Dragonlance serieses, but they're all by different authors, so it' confusing  . Anyways, they're really good books! _________________

I recommend you some Stephen King's classics, like Carrie, Cujo and The shining. If you want a really long book, I recommend you Apocalipsis.
Dragonlance will be interesting too... and Dan brown's books of course...

Yes I have heard of his books because in math class, this guy sittling in front or me was reading "The Golden Compass" and I was sort of looking on because it was more interesting than math. *cough* _________________

Start reading the books of Anne Rice  , really good books, they are.
And if you want to read some humouristic fantasy books, go after Terry Pratchett. _________________

Well at the moment I am reading through The Hobbit, and the the LOTR trilogy... but I can recommend The Green Mile by Stephen King for a good read- it's very sad but also makes you think.
