Harry Potter, hands down.
I started reading HP in 1999, and I was hooked from the very start. I loved the plot, the characters, the detailed world Rowling created, everything. I was constantly rereading the books, always picking up on new clues to try to piece together theories, and still I was blown away by Deathly Hallows (which I got at midnight, finished in 12 hours, and was sobbing by the end).
I picked up Twilight a couple summers ago after hearing some good things about it online, but was bored throughout most of it, just waiting for something to happen. I thought the second book was a bit better, mostly because there was less Edward, who I was never impressed with. I basically finished the series just to see how it ended, and so I could form an opinion on the series as a whole, but they're not books I'll ever read again. Poorly written, the characters aren't very well developed, and I just couldn't really care about the plot.
