Go to Amazon to see reviews and synopsis. It's a tale based in imperial China. I love things like this...
I agree with the above posters on the other books too..
Wicked
Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister
Memoirs of a Geisha - I like books like this...
-------------------
I read a great deal, so have a very long list of must-reads, but this one sticks out as a good one to get you started.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a great read. It's about a teen girl, Bella Swan, who is starting at a new school mid-semester. Her adventures start off quite ordinary, until she falls for a local vampire who happens to be her lab partner in biology!
The sequel, New Moon, is due out in a few months.

Wicked by Gregory McGuire.
What happened to the wicked witch of the west that made her so mean? Here is her back story.
Excerpt: The Witch caught sight, not of the girl's face, but of the shoes. Her sister's shoes. They sparkled even in the darkening afternoon. They sparkled like yellow diamonds, and embers of blood, and thorny stars.

I'm still recommending 'The Good Earth' by Pearl S Buck.
I think I will go ask how many people have read anything by her.

"Lamb" by Christopher Moore, thought-provoking and hilarious at the same time
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, an American classic
"The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov, sweet and weird
