Myself I have always like the James Michner books like South Pacific, Centennial, Chesapeake, Texas, Space and more.They are historical, yet entertaining. Some I have read many times over the years. Also On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Anyway this is more than enough to keep you busy for a few nights.

Lord of the Rings, Narnia, or The Last Unicorn
Those are some good books, if you like fantasy.

If you're looking for a thriller-ish, exciting, edge of the seat kinda story, you should read Cell by Steven King. Uh, it's basically about people who go crazy and begin killing each other because of their cell phones.... kinda creepy, but I didn't have any nightmareish dreams and I'm pretty easy to freak out, so.. I think you'd be okay, even if you don't like scary stories.

There's a new medieval fantasy series in hardcover that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you're a fan of Conan, LOTR or Eragon, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly said in a rare STARRED Review:
"A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages."
Library Journal said:
"This series opener...is a good choice for fans of epic-style sagas and Scottish history."

Steven King has a new one out called Linsey story, Santa Cruise is out by Mary Higgins Clark, Grisham has a new one along with Nora Roberts. The best thing is to go go to your local library and see what's new !!!
