If you want something that will blow your mind and keep you up at night but that is not at all spiritistic, read Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's books. THere amainzing writers. Cabinet of curiosities and Still Life With Crows are good.
Also Pride and Predjudice is a great book. Better than any movie i've seen.
The Kinsey Millhone novels by Sue Grafton are great if you like PI novels. There's a hole series adn there wonderful, you'll never get bored.!!!!

I like the Syran novels by Ellen Anthony. SEARCH FOR THE SUN is a great mystery and it kept me turning pages. When the villain died, I thought the story was over but, no, they still hadn't figured out all he did or what he died for. Really cool.
The best part about these books is there is a FAMILY in the center of it. How many science fiction books have families in them? Romances do, but I can't think of any science fiction besides Robert Heinlein's The Rolling Stones.

Well, it's probably a very eclectic list, but I love anything by Rosamunde Pilcher. Anne Tyler's books are stunning in their descriptions. If you like Gothic Romance, Victoria Holt/ Jean Plaidy/Phillipa Gregory is great.
And right now I am in love with the Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic books, not exactly great lit, but a good time...

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer is a wonderful book and really holds your interest. It is about a young man in 1992 from a well to do family that hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKInley. He gave $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and possessions, burned the cash in his wallet and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his body was found by a moose hunter.
