Anything by Neil Gaiman. Too bad they haven't published too many of his books in Hungarian. Oh well, at least I read in English too. :)

if ur in to harry potter-ish books i recommend:

- Dalemark series
- Artemis Fowl series

Dalemark is kinda hard to explain since it doesn't matter in what order you read them, as long as 4 is last. so i'll go to Arty

Artemis Fowl is a teenage Genius who, togheter with bodyguard Butler, discovers the existence of the futuristic ELFS. 1st book they kidnap one of the elfs and want a Ransom of X kg Gold. they get attacked by an an army of elFBI/leprecoon (depends on language). ehhh...well i suck at explaining but it's a very good book

wiki -___-:
Artemis Fowl is a series of fantasy novels written by Irish author Eoin Colfer, starring the teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl. The series is written in half-serious language, alternating dark moments with humorous ones, a style favored by a number of popular children's authors, including J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter) and Roald Dahl (The Witches).

Artemis, the main character, is a ruthless and extremely intelligent young criminal whose main goal is the acquisition of money through a variety of schemes (although his values change towards the 5th book). The author of the series summed up the series as: "Die Hard with fairies."[1]

I am a little surprised that no one has mentioned Robert Jordan

Book name: Series Name - Wheel of Time (New Spring;The Eye of the World;The Great Hunt;The Dragon Reborn;The Shadow Rising;The Fires of Heaven;Lord of Chaos;A Crown of Swords;The Path of Daggers;Winter's Heart;Crossroads of Twilight;Knife of Dreams;
*A Memory of Light (Co-author Brandon Sanderson)*Not Out Yet

Your Opinions: Best series EVER. I have been reading (and rereading it to jog my memory when a new book comes out) it for years. Book 12 is the last book so now is a good time to start reading it so you won't have to wait a year between each book.

Wiki Statement: The Wheel of Time (abbreviated by fans to WoT) is a bestselling fantasy book series written by Robert Jordan. It is known for the extreme density of its plot, the intricate detail of its imaginary world and constructed languages, and complexity of relationships and interactions among characters. There are 11 books published in the series so far. Books 8-11 have each reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and most of the books have been on the list at one time or another. As of 18 September 2007 the series has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.[1] The series has spawned several games and a soundtrack.
