I had many sets of books that include fiction and non-fiction but almost all english fiction....
I love all books from charles Dickens..ohhh he's a great author ....and I did read all series of Harry Potter...but my favourite one is The Tea House On Mulberry Street by Owen Wilson...

You named some of my favorites. I'll keep my list mostly to fantasy and sci-fi because that's the realm you seem to like.
I recommend Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's old and not very popular at the moment but seeing the world with rabbit eyes is an experience everyone should try once. The Last Unicorn by Peter beagle is a good one too. I don't remember it well but I know it was good. I think I'll be rereading that one soon.
Anything by Asimov is good. He has also fallen out of favor but there is good reason he was one of the most popular authors of the 20th century. Bradbury is also good if you can get past the fact of his setting stories on Mars and the moon, where you know they could never really happen. For pure silliness, I recommend Terry Pratchett and Piers Anthony if you like punnishing(if you think that's a bad pun, try his) yourself . Mercedes Lackey is fun for pure flights of fantasy. Sheri Tepper is good if you want a little social commentary with your fun. Getting back to the oldies, I'd have to mention Harlan Ellison. My first love of sci-fi came from him many years ago.
My interests also include religious writings of all faiths, non-war history, mysteries and crime and Alzheimer's disease research and help. Feel free to contact me at goddesskujo@yahoo if you'd like recommendations in any of these areas.

Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. One cannot and will not ever EVER truly appreciate life until one reads the hardships the people in the "The Great Depression" went through! Alot of people don't understand how bad it was and this is one way to get to understand how bad we could have it maybe one day. In the meantime, it will make you want to kiss the ground you walk on and be soooooooo thankful for the life that we have!

Books by allan pease is good. why man lie and woman cry is an example.
By the way tell you some jokes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
Last of all just want to tell you that whatever you do, just don't give up. Also you must love and care for the people around you. In that way they will also show you the love that you show to them. Just be yourself and happy everyday. Wish you all the best and good luck!!

Christopher Moore is way cool. Very good writer, very funny books. Some of them are:
"Island of the Sequined Love Nun"
"Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove"
"Fluke, or I know why the winged whale sings" (something like that) and so on. Each book has a little bit of another book in it - crossover characters, etc. Extra points if you know the places he's talking about.

If you liked Ender's Game I think you'd love King Fortis the Brave - about a pair of twins that are pulled into a magical land where one of them is thought to be the return of a long-lost king destined to return peace to the land. It's full of cliffhangers and humor and you'll be glad you read it.

"Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien; the greatest book in English written during the 20th century. In fact "ancalagon" is the name of the dragon in "the Silmarillion".
