Well it really depends. If your looking for something that's just fun, it's gotta be Harry Potter. If you want something short but meaningful try Night. Other good ones are the Narnia series, Eragon, Eldest, Maniac Magee, Bud, Not Buddy, The Outsiders, Rumble Fish and the Theif and the Beanstalk. They're all very good. Then again, I'm only 12. Not sure if your older or not, but really it should't affect it.

Secrets About Life Every Woman Should Know, by Barbara Deangelis. I learned some very important lessons from the book, helped me deal with life in a more powerful way, with a positive outllook.

#1? That's pretty hard to narrow down, but I'd have to say Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon". It fulfills all my requirements: it's well-written, accessible and not hard to understand, it completely reworks an old myth in a way that makes absolute sense (perhaps more than the original!), is immensely epic, dramatic and a real page-turner with all its mystery and intrigue, and deals with one of my favorite subjects- Goddess lore and pagan magic. It's still utterly fantastic in my mind, just because of the way it turned the Arthurian myth upside down on its head.
"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand also competes for the #1 title, but gets marked down because sometimes its slow, turgid, and difficult to pay attention to in places.
