Upstate by Kalisha Buckhannon is good; she's a debut author and written somewhat like Push; which is also real good;

To Kill a Mockingird-Harper Lee
The Diary of Anne Frank(not fiction but ok)
The Secret Life of Bees-Sue Monk Kidd
any of Richard Paul Evan's books are very good; my favorite is The Looking Glass;

A very easy book to read is 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe." The book is very short, the grammer is easy to understand, and it is a really nice story overall.

Harry Potter book 1 is also a good book to read along the same lines.

start with a book with lots of sex in it to get you interested then switch to the drastically different harry potter, but start on the second one cause the first's not all that great. read up to then, it should take you about a year so you can just read straight into the seventh one. then when you're done you should read some realistic fiction just to get out of the magic-y mode and then you'll be on your way to a headache like the rest of us!

If you like fantasy, give King Fortis the Brave a try. It's about a pair of twins that are transported to a magical world where they are caught in the middle of a battle for control of the land. It has humor, action and adventure and is one of my favorite books!

I dont know what your reading preference is. I know the book Push by Sapphire is a remarkable story. A top pick for reluctant readers such as yourself:

"In an electrifying novel, a black street girl, sixteen years old and pregnant, again, with her father's child, speaks. In a voice that shakes us by its language, its story, and its unflinching honesty, Precious Jones records her journey up from Harlem's lowest depths... For Precious, miraculously, hope appears and the world begins to open up when a courageous black woman - a teacher hellbent to teach - bullies, cajoles, and inspires her to learn to read, to define her own feelings and set them down in a diary: to discover the truth of her life. Day after day they go over the pages, translating the illiterate but developing language of Precious' journals. The learning process itself, as vividly revealed as the most brutal aspects of Precious' daily existence, is the heartbeat of a novel that will disturb, galvanize, and stay in the mind."

If you read it, you'll never forget it.

My best friend's younger sister isn't into reading, but for whatever reason she really liked Dangerous Angels (by Francesca Lia Block) and Memoirs of a Geisha. You could try those; should be easy to find.

A book that got me started on reading again was "A great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. It's a Victorian fantasy.

Be a bit wary of Harry Potter. The first book takes about 100 pages to get going. Don't feel like you have to be all respectful about books. Lots of them are rubbish. Find one that appeals to you. This sounds stupid, but I thought all adult novels were boring, and filled with lines like: "Presently, she lit a cigarette and went to the window". But there are books with jokes, or sex, or guns... Judge them by their covers, I say. And don't feel like it's your fault if you don't enjoy a book. It's up to the writer to entertain you, not the other way round. Enjoy!
