Can anyone recommend some books

I've been so bored lately because I have nothing good to read. So here's a list of books that I have read and maybe you can recommend me few books or a series based on those.

Books I've read (that I liked):
The warriors series (all four sets and the super editions)
The queste series ( the one with septimus heap)
The path of the warrior
The first two books of Rangers Apprentice ( the third book wasn't nearly as interesting)
Most of a series of unfortunate events
The Artemis fowl series
The first 2 books of the city of ember ( gonna start reading the last two soon)
EDIT: all 3 books in the hunger games
EDIT2: tunnels
EDIT3: I read freakanomics and super freaknomics and some of Scott adam's books about the dilbert principle

I'm 15 if that makes a difference

I think that's about all I can think of... So yeah, recommend some books based on those.

I've read the Cirque Du Freak series. Liked it.
I've read the Demonata series. Loved it.
I'm currently reading The Thin Executioner. It's pretty ok. A little hard to follow cause of the traveling
Going to read the Saga of Larten Crepsley after I finish the Thin Executioner[/quote]

OMG Darren Shan is AMAZING! <3 <3 <3 <3

[quote=Chongo55]@Boss I did look into a game of thrones. But it just seemed far to mature for me at the moment...[/quote]

Then you probably wouldn't like any of the other books I listed, to be honest.
I've always had a liking for "classic" literature, but I suppose it wasn't the best idea to recommend them, since only a small number of people really enjoy them.

EDIT: Game of Thrones is relatively new in comparison to the other books I mentioned, though.

The boy turns into a slave, runs away, gets captured again, runs away, and at the end, he reaches his destination and his servant becomes his sacrifice, but he doesn't sacrifice him and the servant dies anyway. He becomes invincible, returns home, stops all the executions as he offers himself up in the executed's place, but no one can cut his head off.

Oh, and he marries the girl that cries a lot in the beginning and has many babies.

The Lord of the Rings books are legendary! There is also an other book that describes the beginning of Middle Earth which is called "The Silmarilion" which I'm currently reading and i also enjoyed ready the Eragon series... Take your pick!

1984
Harry Potter
The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings

I haven't even finished 1984 yet, but it's a sick book so far. By far the best one I've had to read for school so far.
