Foucault's Pendulum -- Umberto Eco (roller coaster ride through Templars, santereia, and Le Comte Saint Germaine)
Sophie's World... forget the author (History of philosophy as contemporary birthday mystery)
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (Dark and very literate... also incredibly funny)
The Day After Tomorrow -- Alan Folsom (thriller but a pretty good read)
Can't abide the higgins clark ... or steel

I HATE Danielle Steele, my special ed. jr. high kids write better then she does... You should read "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, I couldn't put it down. Mary Higgins Clark is OK, but just ok. I love Dean Koonze and James Patterson books for adventure and Barbara Kingsolver for just great storytelling and writing. "The Poisonwood Bible" is one of her best.

Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. It's Sci-Fi, and it's awesome.

If you like horror, Bentley Little is great. Dean Koontz and Stephen King , and James Patterson are very good authors.

you should read "invitation to a beheading" by vladimir nabokov.
it's a really interesting and strange book. he also wrote lolita which is really good too. i think it's kind of popular so maybe you've heard of it.

Gee, you didn't mention the "King," - Stephen King. Especially his earlier stuff.
