no romance novels!

Map of Bones, The Codex, Angels and Demons, The Romanov Prophecy...
Depending on your age--although both adults and kids seem to enjoy them--Harry Potter...
The Indiana Jones series of books are also very good. They're written by a number of different authors, but they all stay true to the character.

Start with "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel.
It is about the Story of a boy shipwrecked on a lifeboat with a Tiger, an orangutan, a zebra, and a hyena. It is very interesting from page 1 through the end. It is definitely worth your time.
(((Romance novels are only good for starting fires with.)))
I would also suggest "The True History of the Kelley Gang" by Peter Carey. (This is Australia's equivalent of Jesse James but told in an avant garde style that captivates and sustains your interest throughout.)

Anything by Matthew Reilly, Jack duBrul, Clive Cussler, John Ringo, etc.

H. Rider Haggard's "She" and all the sequels are a good bet.
Sherlock Holmes? They have released a nice annotated edition which is pricey but something you would want to keep in your personal library for years to come!

Jules Verne and H.G. Wells are excellent. They are the fathers of science fiction.

The trouble with putting books is that it can cause wrist strain. Try putting rounded objects instead.

Almost anything by Helen MacInnes. I love her books. They were best-sellers when they came out.

Start with a dictionary.
