I didn't really read that many books that were part of a series. Though, when I did, it was way back when I was really young, so the ones I'm listing are...yeah, just a bit, yeah.

Series:
- The Song of the Lioness
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
- Harry Potter
- Artemis Fowl
- The Vampire Chronicles
- Avalon: Web of Magic (BACK WHEN I WAS A YOUNGIN')
- There were two other series that I really loved...but they're in storage right now and the names just escape me for some reason, hur hur.

Authors:
- DON'T ASK ME TO PICK. JUST DON'T. Though, I do like reading essays and poetry written by José Antonio "Tony" Burciaga. They're just...nnng.

Books:
- Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
- The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Notre-Dame de Paris) by Victor Hugo
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- Hard Times by Charles Dickens
- One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien años de soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez
- The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst
- The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
- Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
- The Stranger by Albert Camus
- IT by Stephen King (READ IT IN LESS THAN THREE DAYS OH YEAH)
- Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
- Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
- Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
- Beloved by Toni Morrison

...and that's all that I can remember at the moment.

...I only really read (and sitll own) Interview with a Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the Damned. Because I loved all three. Everything else I really just skimmed. <<;

Is "The Joy Luck Club" really really good? I meant it must be to be on your list...and I've heard comments going either way...

I read some of it and enjoyed it fairly well XD but it wasn't mine so I couldn't read it too much. :(

I thought it was pretty good. But, like most things in life, it always depends on the person who reads it, no? Except for Twilight. That's just 100% fail regardless. 8|

Buuuuuuuuut. I read it as one of my outside reading books for AP English Language, so it's been a few years. I can just say that it was a quick yet enjoyable read. For me, anyway. ♥

Well of course XD that's a given! Twilight reaches a whole new level of fail that not even the Titanic calling itself "unsinkable" could reach :|

Hmm~ I'll throw that on my list too (yay for things too read!) always a nice thing about the Library XD you don't get stuck with a book you don't like (like when you buy it)
