Here are mine:

1) 1984
2) Birdsong
3) Everything is Illuminated
4) The Book Thief
5) The Kite Runner

Those were the first to come to find - they all made me put the book down at the end and say, "Wow".

And there's also another amazing book. It's called Maradonia and the Seven Bridges. It is so wonderful! [/extremesarcasm]

I second that.
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

I'm iffy on the Maximum Ride series. They're pretty cliche and the last two were cheesy and romance-filled. I think for her age, Max's voice is really immature. She acts like a ten year old and she's almost sixteen. I dunno. I think they're great when you're ten to thirteen but past that, get something a little better written.

I agree, jasmine. Maximum Ride was mildly entertaining for the first three books, but after that it devolved into extremely improbable chains of events that lead nowhere and told no one anything. And there was hardly any character development, which is what really killed it, I think.
And remember...A portkey can be any sort of harmless object...A football...or a dolphin.
