I need a good book to read! I love all kinds; however I have to be hooked within the first chapter or two otherwise I am tempted to put it down. I love all types of books!

People rattle on about Shakespeare being the best writer that the English language has ever known, so I've bought the complete works with a view of formulating my own opinion on him as a writer.
I never studied him in school and haven't seen any of his plays performed live.
So, to any Shakespeare buffs out there, which play should I start with, which, in your opinion is the best, and why?

So Roland gets to the tower, scales all the stairs to enter the room. He then goes back to the start of his adventue coz he has no imagination, right? He is doomed to repeat his mistakes for eternity coz he has not the imagination to figure out the riddle of his life/his world.

Gabriel came to a running stop in a forest clearing close to my house. After Gabriel had placed me down on the grass, he carefully folded in his wings. I had just enough time to smooth out my hair, before I felt wind on my face; the tree green combine into a mass of dim brown. Suddenly I was standing outside my front door and Gabriel standing on my left.
‘What did you do that for?’ I asked exasperated, trying to comb out the knots out of my hair with my fingers.
‘Well, I would look a bit weird if a giant human bird flew from the sky outside your house,’ he said sarcastically.
‘I thought you agreed to ask me next time you decide to run super fast,’ I hissed firmly, folding my arms across my chest.
‘I don’t like waiting,’ he shrugged smiling at me joyfully. After finding that right key, I opened the front door. The familiar creaking of the door greeted me as I swung the door open. Luckily the lights were not on, as that would have indicated that Dad was home. He had strictly told me that night before that I was to be home before it was dark; I had clearly violated his rules. After turning on the main light by the front door, I turned around to see if Gabriel was behind me. A faint breeze fluttered in though the open door with it was a peculiar scent, it was bitter almost resembling vinegar. I saw Gabriel out of the corner of my eye stiffen, his eyes becoming a dark blue. I spun around to face him; his eyes were fixed on the sky.
‘What is it?’ I asked concerned, standing behind him.
‘Venator!’ He hissed though gritted teeth.
I all happened to fast, my eyes darted from left to right trying to figure out what was happening, I started to fell dizzy.
Suddenly every thing went black.
I was in a black room, or I think it was. Everything was covered in black; the only thing I could hear was a weak voice repeating my name over and over again.
The voice grew louder, and then I realized I was Gabriel voice.
‘Emily, Emily,’ he called frantically.
The black was fading, I saw a blurry outline of a face; and then it all came into view.
I was lying on the couch in the sitting room and Gabriel was sitting at the end of the couch, his forehead crumpled up in concern.
‘What happened,’ I muttered trying to sit up. Then realizing that was a bad idea, I lay back down.
‘You fainted,’ he said stroking my hair off my face.
‘What was that smell?’ I asked crinkling my nose up.
‘There wasn’t one.’
‘Yeah, it smelt like vinegar.’
I sat up slightly, so I was propped on my elbow.
‘Are you ok?’ he asked with worried eyes.
‘Yeah, I’m fine,’ I said bluntly sitting up next to Gabriel.

Do you know what any recurring motifs are in those book? Apparently there are motifs that are similar and motifs that are different to each other, but I'm not exactly sure what they are.

Anyone have a hint for me?

I'm an 19 year old and the last book that I enjoyed very much was The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time by Mark Haddon. I liked that it was written in first-person narrative. Does anyone know of a book that is worth reading? I may go to Barnes and Nobles tomorrow.

Have you ever, I don't know how to put this, fallen in love with someone in a book? My language teacher was having a discussion about reading and such, and said she was actually attracted to the character in the book. Has this secret love ever come upon you?
