The State of Fear - Michael Crichton - awesome book, really opened my eyes about global warming.
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold - beautiful book, first time I have ever cried reading a book.
Something Borrowed - Emily Giffin - one of those girly type of books, like 'The Devil Wears Prada', the 'Shopoholic' series - but its a fast, easy, fun read. Had me hooked, and I read most of in on one day.

Well you could try some classic or...not :P so for fun Jerome K.Jerome, a good book Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Steinbeck's Of mice and men,a wonderful book moralizing and all, with beautiful dialogs Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, a very good book Daniel Keyes Flowers for Algernon, or you can try something more dramatic like Goethe's The sorrows of young Werther,a good simple and classic book, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's Little Prince, or you can try Pascal Bruckner a very complex in-view of the modern couple Bitter moon

Some of my all-time favorites:
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok; Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis; Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lamphiri. All the Harry Potter books.
Currently am enjoying The Ominvore's Dilemma and have Misquoting Jesus on my list to read next.

I love to read! My favorite author is Dean Koontz. He has a few flakes but most of his books are great. Some of my favorites are From the Corner of His Eye, By the Light of the Moon, & False Memory. Oh yeah! And a big favorite of mine is Phantom by Susan Kay! It's out of print but I've seen it in the library.

The best book I ever read is East of Eden by Steinbeck. If you are going to start reading any Stephen King try his very early work it is much better than his latest.
