As for me, I would recommend...
- The Language Construction Kit by Mark Rosenfelder
- Historical Linguistics by R. L. Trask
- A Practical Introduction to Phonetics by J. C. Catford
- Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping by Peggy Parish
I'd recommend the His Majesties Dragon series. Fairly new, and a great concept/read.

Green Hell
Blue Planet in Green Shackles

The Kane Chronicles:
The Red Pyramid

(He's most likely adding more to the series, there's too many cliffhangers)
The Heck Series:
Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go
The Second Sircle of Heck: Rapacia
The Third Circle of Heck: Blimpo
-By Dale E. Basye
(Most likely more, as The Fourth Circle of Heck: Fibble is coming out next year and there are 7 Circles of Heck).
YES, I HAVE!!!
OK, Rotten School by R. L. Stine also helps you laugh. I don't remember the exact names, though.
The Animorphs series, by K. A. Applegate, and the Age of Fire series by E. E. Knight. Dragon's Bait by someone whose name I forget. XD
As well as some vampire books, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes:
In the Forests of the Night
Demon in my View
Shattered Mirror
Midnight Predator
Animorphs is my junk food book. I read not because it's good, but because it's a guilty pleasure. They really are shallow, terrible books, though.
