Any of Jane Austen's novels are good. It's usually best to start with Pride and Prejudice.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
The Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Any of the Nancy Drew Mysteries
The Mermaid Summer by Mollie Hunter
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
The Changeling Sea by Patricia McKillip

I remember this really good book I read in like 7th grade...it's called "Searching for David's Heart" by Cherie Bennett. I think it's actually a movie now and was aired on ABC Family. It's just the best book you will ever read. And I really think that if you pass up the chance to read this then you're really missing out.
I also loved "Where the red fern grows" by Wilson Rawls. Its a book about a boy who wants 2 coon dogs, but his parents are poor. He finds an ad in the paper for two pups for 50 bucks. He works for 2 years and saves up the money. He travels out into the city to get his pups. He trains em and they become the best coon huntin dogs. In the end, the pups died( lil ann, the girl, died because she couldnt live w/o old dan) and old dan died after he had a fight with another animal. Where they were burried, a red fern grew. Its really a sad story of never giving up. I loved it a lot.

I love reading too! Although I tend to stay within a few genres and/or topics. If you feel like exploring, here are my recommendations:
For intellectual stimulation, regardless of you age, I'd recommend the following non-fiction books:
- The Demon-Haunted World, Science as a Candle in the Dark
by Carl Sagan (strongly recommended!)
- Zero
by Charles Seife
- Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy
by Thomas Sowell
- The Five Ages of the Universe
by Fred Adams and Greg Laughlin
- The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
by Richard Feynman
- and of course, "A Brief History of Time"
by Stephen Hawking
There are more, but I don't want to give you a headache reading the list. =)
For a sample of light, fun, and engaging reads:
- Neverwhere
by Neil Gaiman
- Stardust
by Neil Gaiman
- On a Pale Horse
by Piers Anthony
- Dilbert Future
by Scott Adams
For science fiction (my primary genre), here are some starting points:
- Vaccum Diagrams (strongly recommended!)
by Stephen Baxter
- Beggars in Spain
by Nancy Kress
- Cosmonaut Keep
by Ken McLeod
- Childhood's End
by Arthur C. Clarke
- and of course, "2001", "2010", "2062", and "3001"
by Arthur C. Clarke
Or you could try graphic novels:
- Kingdom Come (DC) (strongly recommended!)
- Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (DC)
- Infinity Gauntlet (Marvel)
- Marvel 1602 (Marvel)
Enjoy!

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. It seems like a children's book, but it is very deep. It is one of my all time favorite books. It is a simple story but has a lot to say about life-- funny and sad.

Green Eggs and Ham & One fish, Two Fish- Dr Seuss- both George W Bush Jnr favourites. And I refer to the present time-frame, which is very sad.
