The Harry Potter books will probably always be my favorite series. I've read them all at least 7 times.
Erin Hunter was good but I kinda grew out of it.
Any of the Percy Jackson books Heroes of Olympus as well are fantastic IMO.

I don't own a single HP book and I'm pretty proud of that achievement.

The coolest HP experience has to be reading it while still influenced by religious terror of black magic shit. It was kinda creepy for me the first time I read it because of that. It's quite ridiculous when I look back, but the thrill of fear made it much better. I'd heard so much evil about it beforehand, and being the cautious rebel I was, I absolutely had to find out for myself whether it really contained satanic power or not. I don't know whether I was more relieved or disappointed when I realized it was simply a badly misunderstood but fantastic story with no powers whatsoever.

I am equally proud of this achievement.
Unfortunately it's tarnished by the fact I own three of George R.R. Martin's books.

A Song of Ice and Fire will enter the top-ten when his illustrious author will finish it. I never trust a saga before it's over

Yeah I really love that writer...if you like his stile I can suggest you also "The mirror in the mirror". Is very surreal though, almost like the literary version of a Dalì painting
