Add me as another vote for Megan Whalen Turner. And if no one else has mentioned Summerland, throw that on there.

I wait for new volumes of those like other grown-ups wait for the Booker Prize shortlist.

I especially agree with <i>Twilight</i>, <i>The Golden Compass</i>, <i>How I Live Now</i>, and <i>The Book Thief</i>. I would also add Dana Reinhardt's <i>A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life</i>, Kenneth Oppel's <i>Airborn</i>, and <i>Elsewhere</i> by Gabrielle Zevin. I really have to read <i>King Dork</i> and <i>Sorcery and Cecilia</i>.</p>
<p>Thanks for starting this list. I think that it will be a big hit with people. I have a list of children's books that I think that adults will like, with some young adult stuff mixed in, in my sidebar, but this is much more focused. </p>Colleen commented on 'No duh.'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200d834e0d91f69e22006-08-25T19:12:34Z2007-08-17T14:23:36ZColleenhttp://chasingray.comOne of the best war books I have ever read is Kipling's Choice.

I reviewed it last year at Bookslut - it is about Rudyard Kipling's son and by extension, all the young upper class men who fought (quite happily at first) in WWI. It's just staggering and heartbreaking and an excellent war novel for readers of any age. </p>
<p>I second <i>King Dork</i> and suggest <i>Love, Cajun Style</i> for readers looking for another <i>Divine Secrets of the YA YAs</i> type title. And I have <i>Here There Be Dragons</i> by James Owens going up in my September column. It is for all fantasy fans - big time. Tolkien readers in particular will love this one.</p>

For YA, I totally third, or fourth Meg Rosoff, and I will add that Martha Brooks in general is awesome. Ack, this is hard because the idea of not wanting to read YA blows my mind!
