Answer 3

I'm a big mystery lover myself. I love Nancy Drew books. I'm collecting all the original ones, and I play the computer games. Since you're a guy, you might want to try The Hardy Boys.
Another good book is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. It is a murder mystery. It is very exciting to read. They made a computer game out of that, too. All the books above are good, but trust me, the Nancy Drew computer games are cooler than the Agatha Christie one! :)

Answer 5

I am a big fan of Christopher Rice and Dean Koontz. Christopher Rice wrote two that I am a particularly big fan of; A Density of Souls and Snow Garden are two that I highly suggest. My friend read both over the course of a day and half because she loved them so much. That is my suggestion for the meantime.
