I'm looking forward to it too...the only problem is, the day it comes out is the day of my school trip to Alton Towers...so I can't stay home and read it!!
I can read it on the coach at least.
Right, so so far the recommeded books are:
Dragonlance Series
Forgotten Realms
Jurassic Park
Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books
The Silmarillion
Sword of Shannara and it's many sequels
The Enders Series
Samurai Cat series
and, of course,
Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.
I'm also waiting for the new Sorcerers of the Nightwing book...Demon Witch I think its called, or was that the second one...
