I suggest you try a book from Cornella Funke, she has written many books like Dragon rider, Inkheart, Inkspell, and the Theif Lord. In my opinion the most interesting one of the three is the Theif Lord. It already has been turned into a movie but it is still good nontheless. Im working on Dragon Rider while typing this.

If you enjoy fiction/literature, I would suggest something by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I just finished "One Hundred Years of Solitude" which was very enjoyable. The genre is magical realism, which is common in 20th century Latin American literature - ghosts and things like that, but in a realistic, people-centered setting. It's the kind of book you can put down for a while and pick back up, or you can read it in only a few settings.

It depends what age group you are in but if you are older and on the mature side than go for anything by Irving. You can't go wrong. His new one, Until I Find You, is outstanding and also read A Prayer Fro Owen Meany, The World According To Garp, A Widow For One Year, and any others by Irving. His novels tend to be kind of dark and disturbing not because of the plot (which usually follows one person through their somewhat normal life) but because of the frankness in the way he states certain events one would consider life changing. I love John Irving... and if you aren't quite at that reading level yet than remember them later in life.

I've been recommending the same book for over a year, because it really made a lasting impression on me: Gentlemen and Players, by Joanne Harris. Very interesting tale of revenge, and skillful description of school life, especially from the point of view of teachers. A captivating story, full of suspense.

My top personal favorites are:
1. The Bible. Everyone needs to read it.
2. Thinking On the Right Side of the Brain. Tells why you are the way you are.
3. Ramtha, a voyage to the new world into the unlimitedness.
4. Agartha, an essential guide to personal transformation.

It really depends alot on your own interests and your comprehention level but if you like phylosophy 'The geneology of Morals' by Friedrich Nietzsche is a can't miss. If you want to be inspired in life you should read 'Bound for Glory' by Woody Guthrie. Other than that I recommend the classics. You can't go wrong with the classics; that's what makes them classic!

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. It's about a proper English girl who sets off on a sea journey and is never again the same.

Two choices: Non-fiction--'THE WAY THINGS WORK' either one volume today or two volumes from the fifties.
Fiction--TEMPLE by Matthew Reilly or one of his other works like ICE STATION which takes off from page two and doesn't let you go until the end.
