Harry Potter: I don't know anyone who calls themselves a fan of fantasy that hasn't read it.

His Dark Materials: I haven't yet started this myself but it's waiting on my shelf and on my MP3 player. I have heard great things about this.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: I've only just found this and it's what I'm rereading at the moment. It's modern day meets ancient greek meets coming of age story and I love it.

The Inkheart Series: I haven't seen this series get much love ever but for a lover of books, reading, writing and fantasy I really liked it.

Inheritance Cycle: There's something about this series that makes my jaw drop and I don't find it mentioned a lot. It really picks up steam for me in the second book.

The Tomorrow Series: It's an australian series, doesn't get much love either but I heard it's amazing. It's also on my "to read" list.

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins, The House of the Scorpion - Nancy Farmer, A Great and Terrible Beauty (series) - Libba Bray, Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld (its vaguely fantasy, but really good so you should read it), Eragon - Christopher Paolini, Feed - M. T. Anderson, The Singng (series) - Allison Croggon, and City of Bones (series) - Cassandra Clare (it has a couple vampires in it, but only in passing).

Some of those are a bit on the sci-fi side of fantasy, but there all really good. Hope this helps!

The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. This is basically what I read as a teen (well, younger teen. I don't read books specifically marketed to teens very often, so here's what I got). It's about an alternate UK where all the politicians obtain power and influence by summoning demons for protection, or to carry out nasty human-rights violations, and general skullduggery. It's an interesting read, and I've given a terrible summary of the premise, but the books are quite good. A lot of that British humor, y'know.

Also. Christopher Moore is a brilliant author who doesn't work specifically within fantasy, but he has some great books like A Dirty Job (Type-B dude becomes Grim Reaper), Fluke (marine biologists trying to solve a mystery and really, it's like Fight Club. You can't say anything without giving it away), Coyote (totally irreverent and hilarious look at spirituality and the role of god), The Stupidest Angel (zombies on Christmas Eve), and other such fantasticity.

And Douglas Adams. He's science fiction, yes, but his stuff is just so great that you can't possibly pass it up. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[Tina]

I looked it up this sounds awesome!! i cant wait too read it . Ive read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy i think im going to read the sequel as well

I echo the Christopher Moore completely. He's so brilliantly, off-the-wall funny. I really like Lamb (or Lamb: the Gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood friend) as well. It's pretty awesome.
