Well...if you're into fantasy... anything by R.A. Salvatore is absolutely amazing. That's my favorite adult fantasy stuff... if you're looking for more Young Adult Fantasy, there's ALOT of things better than Harry Potter. The Pendragon Series, The Keys to the Kingdom Series, but most of all, the His Dark Materials Series by Philiip Pullman. I've read all 3 at least 3 or 4 times each...it's just that good.
If you want Science Fictiony stuff........ I only know young Adult Stuff. But I know some good Young Adult Stuff. My favorite is the House of the Scorpions by Nancy Farmer. I just connected to it so well, relished in the funny moments, and became depressed during the sad ones, It also made me think alot, and everyone likes books that make them think, right? My second favorite is either Ender's Game, the first one in that series, or Ender's Shadow, the second. Both are quite amazing, though the series begins to decline after that in my opinion.
And for Historical Fiction.... I found The Captive extremely pleasant and well written and Anna of Byzantium very good as well. I don't read that genre that much so I don't know anything else.
And for often thought the best...Realistic Fiction! As other people have recommended To Kill a Mockingbird...I shall as well. If you don't read that before you die, you can't call yourself a lover of reading. My second favorite realistic fiction book was The Painted House by John Grisham. Usually, he writes crime, mystery type books, but it just amazed me how well he shifted into an atmosphere of the life of a young boy living on a cotton farm and his very interesting life. I think it's a very good book.
Well...that's it. All of them are good, but pick whatever you want. Out of them all...to Kill a Mockingbird, The His Dark Material Series, and The House of the Scorpions are my favorites. I read them over and over. I hope that helped!

Princess Diaries Series (some people might call me shallow, but these books and most of Meg Cabot's other books--she also has written under the names Patricia Cabot and Jenny Carroll--are reeeaaallly addictive)--other books include The Mediator Series, 1800-WHERE ARE YOU series (Jenny Carroll), All American Girl
