   I just remembered a book I really liked.

   1984 by George Orwell

   I think this book had a very unique idea, and its always server as an example of how we don't want to end up. I think the book had a great plot line, and great story development.

   What did you read when you were young? At the age of 12 to 15 for example.
   I read Harry Potter, but that's about it!! I still like the movies, because I read the stories in my youth. :D

   @Vanquished: After years of saying I would, I'm finally reading that right now!

   I'm a little more than halfway through. It's hard to believe this was written in 1947. George Orwell is a mad genius. The depth of the sociological, political, worldly, and psychological factors he takes into consideration is nothing short of astounding.

   @Devenox: Redwall. I read so much Redwall it's disgusting. Also the Merlin series, the Narnia series, and a smattering of other books.

   One I remembered really liking was called The Iron Ring. Had something to do with an Arabian themed setting. Can't remember the plot exactly, just that I really liked it. You know?

   Middle school age?

   I'll second Redwall and raise you Circle of Magic,Harry Potter,and books like The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. What an amazing profile of a certain period in our nation's history, and especially through those of an immigrant.

   @Tinct: REDWALL! God I loved those books, may go reread them actually.

   Harry Potter obviously, read those so many times. A smattering of trilogies all over my room, can't remember most of them to be honest. Dan Brown's books were pretty good, He has a new one coming out doesn't he?

   *Edit: I can't believe I forgot Artemis Fowl!

   Oh my gawsh, I loved Artemis Fowl!!!!

   And you're right, I love Dan Brown's book called Digital Fortress or something of that nature.That was always my favorite.The DaVinci Code was always overhyped and he's not that great of a writer.

   The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons by Dan Brown...I just love how he interconnected the factual and fictional ideas. Love it! So intriguing in the eyes and impressions of many.
