I read the last book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series a few weeks ago. The whole series is humorous, entertaining, and easy to read.
I'm currently reading the second book in the Sword of Truth series, which I expect to finish in a few months, as it'll be the longest book I've ever read in all likelihood.

What do you think of the first two books in the sword of truth series? I've watched the tv show and I hear the book is far better so I'm interested in starting the series.
Recently I've read The Name of the Wind, Ender's Shadow and Halo Evolutions all of which have been very good. Especially the Name of the Wind, the author has set up a amazing universe and I can't wait for the second novel to be released, highly recommended.
Currently I'm reading the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series and so far it's excellent.

I really like it so far. The first book is probably the most meticulously plotted first book of a serious that I've ever read. There's plenty going on in the plot, lots of interesting character development. It does get slow in a couple of parts, but for the most part, it's a pretty entertaining read.
I've watched about half the first season of the series, and while it doesn't exactly follow the events in the book (which I think led to some backlash among fans), it is certainly in the spirit of the books, so if you liked that, then I highly recommend you at least give the first book a shot.
I've read Ender's Game, but a few people I work with have told me that Ender's Shadow is better, so I'll have to give that one a try eventually.
