Stephanie Meyer - Twilight Series.

People say its a bad series, but I'm sure most of them never read it, it is actually pretty good and I recommend it to anyone who likes vampires/"Emo" love stories.

I have read all four (ex-girlfriend made me do it), and I completely understand why people say they're awful; because they are. The idea behind the story isn't a bad one, but horrible writing, bland characters, no plot, and almost no action make these books a great doorstop.

That said, I'd recommend Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. It's not particularly long, but it's an entertaining read.

Wow.. that's devotion.

I could barely sit through one of the movies.. it was just the worst kind of awful.

 

It was a trade, actually. She really wanted me to read them, but she'd never seen any Star Wars movies. Now she's seen all six. I figured it was a worthy sacrifice. The fact that she was constantly shoving them down my throat was one of the reasons why we are no longer dating.

I don't plan on seeing the movies though. Movies based on books are usually worse than the books, and the mere thought of that has me shaking.
