Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
I enjoyed all of them thoroughly. I was worried The City of Ember would be too kiddy, but while the vocabulary was all fairly simplistic (fifth grade or younger reading level I'd say) the plot was decent, and I think I'll read the other three books in the series as well.
Go Ask Alice was excellent, it's a true story, diaries kept by a fifteen year old girl during the hippy era all about how she came to be addicted to drugs, and her life as she's using and tries to get clean. All teenagers should read this book, it's pretty fucking wild what she went through.
Now the Pendragon series has been going on for awhile now, and I finally got the last book in the series. And it did not dissapoint, the very end was a little odd (which I'll gladly discuss with other fans of the series in the reply section if they want, I don't want to put any spoilers here) but it wrapped everything up quite nicely.
I've meant to get Slaughter-house Five ever since I saw the movie a few years back and I thought they were both great, the movie really does the book justice. Some people may have trouble following the plot because it constantly jumps around in Billy Pilgrim's life, but if they have the foresight to view it as the Tralfamadorians do they should have no trouble!
Twisted was good as well, the main character is good at digging holes, in dirt and in his life. He is trapped in hell and has to fight to the bottom to make it out alive.
Watchmen is fantastic, I've had that for awhile read halfway through it and got sidetracked. But it is great and a must read for graphic novel fans.
And last but not least the Zombie Survival Guide was very informative, but only moderately fun to read because it is just that, a guide. Those looking for an interesting zombie book may be better off reading World War Z.
Phew, that took awhile to write. I watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on youtube as I did it! I loved that movie as a kid, still do! The world is always magical when your with Winnie the Pooh.
I'll wrap this up by touching on two more subjects.
The song Gay Bar by Electric Six is fucking awesome and the music video is even more fucking awesome. Watch it here: [link]
And Dear Bethesda: Where the fuck is my PS3 DLC? I knew it was getting delayed but I figured it would be waiting for me after my week long NH trip. :\ You guys should get on that.
I just swatted a fly. And so it goes.

Rhea: Let's find a spare book to write down all our quotes. Do you have a book that's not important? *picks up old unused looking book* How about this book? Is this ok?"

To my own prision, help me, or I shall die in ruby red
My blood shall shed, and run with the ground
But no one shall know of my depart
