Answer 1

If you want some variety:
-My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl -Full of hilarious sexcapades
-American Gods by Neil Gaiman, The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho - very readable, well written, thought provoking modern fables
-The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde
-Outsiders by S. Hinton - more for younger readers but still worth reading
-The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis -an interesting take on morality
-Catcher in the Rye by Salinger - classic coming of age story. extroardinary.
-Lolita by Nabokov

I like Nora Roberts' Cordina books....try them if you havent read them.
If you want something really fun and girlie try Marian Keys' Lucy Sullivan's Getting Married, Rachel's Holiday and Last Chance Saloon. Her other books are OK, but these are the best.
If you want girly but more intelligent Anything by Jane Austen is amazing. I'd start with pride and prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Mansfield Park. Then Lady Susan and Persuasion, then the others.

Answer 2

Have you read Diana Galbaldon? She wrote a series of books[Voyager, Outlander, Drums of Autumn, Dragonfly in Amber]. They are great big thick juicy novels. I love them, the author puts the reader right into the books. It is about a physician who is transported back, via some stones, to the age of bonnie prince charlie. Don't be put off about the time travel thing. There are no weird machines, or space ships. She meets her soul mate, Jamie Frazier. You'll like him.
I read J. Garwood, "For The Roses" is cute. Some street urchins find a baby. It was made into a movie.
D. Garlock is good, too." Sweetwater"
And there is always The Thornbirds" Colleen McCullogh. I've tried to read some of her other work, too deep for me.
Centenial, author forgotten[is it Michener?] is excellent. Main character is Menonite, is shunned, and leaves for the west It's a saga.
Catherine Anderson is good, too. Forever Amber, Keegans' Lady. I seem to have a lot of L.L.Miller, Kat Martin, and J. Lindsay. Can't say that they are any better than the rest of the romance authors, I just have many. And I just read The DaVinci Code. I liked it, it held my interest, and I usually do not like mysteries. Hope you find a book in this you like.

I examine Twilight, and that i'm loopy about it. So I were given city of Bones by using Cassandra Clare. Stephenie Meyer recommends it! And So does Holly Black. Holly Black has some tremendous books too. The Spiderwick Chronicles are for the more youthful crowd yet nonetheless good. She wrote some youngster books "Tithe" "Valiant" and "Ironside". they're all tremendous. I were given into them more advantageous than Twilight! She also has a e book popping out in would or June called "So Fey" Its a e book about Faerie memories yet they're all depending in the direction of the LGBT community. or maybe although i'm immediately, i visit't wait to verify it! Holly Black's books are in holding with Faerie people Lore and Trolls. Its tremendous. and also you may want to also attempt The searching Glass Wars and Seeing Redd by using Frank Beddor. Its a spin on Alice in Wonderland. Its tremendous. also Cirque Du Freak by using Darren Shan. Its a 12 e book sequence. Its tremendous. he's at present on a second sequence called The Demonata. Cirque Du Freak is a vampire sequence yet its way diverse than favourite vampires. Its tremendous. And Demonata is about demons and magic. have relaxing!

Answer 5

If you want to try a murder mystery I just read and loved Tess Geritson's Surgeon. Mary Higgins Clark is good, a real long (but great) read is the Stand by Stephen King. You could try The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simmons, its a love story set in Russia during WW2, very good.

Answer 6

The Descent- Jeff Long (No, it's not porn.)
You could also try reading anything by Douglas Adams, my personal favorite. Begin with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I don't know that these would necessarily fall into the category of books that you read usually, but I think they're worth your time. You can send hate mail to me at thisboyneedsattention@yahoo after you read them and I'll apologize if you didn't like them.

Answer 7

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews (this is a series of 5 books I think, Garden of Shadows, If there be Thorns)

Robin Cook (medical thrillers, very interesting)
White Oleander by Janet Fitch.

Answer 8

das boot by Lothar Gunther-Buchheim is the best book I have ever read. It tells the story of a U-Boat crew during the winter of 1940-1941. It really gives you the whole story!
