I will recommend these books 'til the day I die: Outlander Series, by Diana Gabaldon. There are currently 6 books, each 700 to over 1,000 pages. Ms. Gabaldon is working on the 7th, and perhaps final, book. These books are magnificent, and hard to classify by genre. They contain elements of historic fiction (very well researched), romance, mystery, and science fiction/fantasy. The author makes the characters come alive for you...they will become almost like a part of your family. The first in the series is Outlander(also called Crosstitch in the UK), then Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, and A Breath of Snow and Ashes.

Well I suppose that really depends on the genre of book that you enjoy reading.
If you were to go for a classic I would recommend Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice or John Knowles's A Seperate Peace.
If you were looking for something more modern I would recommend anything from the Harry Potter series to Lisa Scottoline who has a line of mysteries with female lawyers( and officers) as the leading characters.

The "Meg" series by Steve Alten. He's also written the "Domain" trilogy and the wonderful "The Loch." Check out "Carrie" and "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. Read the first two books of the "Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice. Her books taper off after those two. Of course, J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books are always fun to read.
Classics to check out include "Treasure Island" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson. If poetry is your thing, check out the works of Alexander Pope, especially "The Rape of the Lock."

Anything by Gibran, Proust, Kafka; Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, Old Goriot by Balzac, Madame Bovary by Flaubert, Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe, Justine Or The Misfortunes of Virtue by Marquis de Sade (this one may seem a bit sick, but keep on reading and you'll get the point)...

I liked "Angelhair" by Joseph Noga for a good thriller. Read a preview for free on the authors website www.joenoga.com Check it out and enjoy the read and pass the word along to others.

No matter what age, you can't go wrong with Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein!
And Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) might seem like a children's book, but it's a great book for all ages, especially 4, 5, and 6.

Faerie Wars Chronicles by Herbie Brennan.
they're as nutso as they sound, but not nearly the science fiction or nerdiness of other books they have out there...
They so far consist of:
Faerie Wars
The Purple Emperor
and
The Ruler of the Realm
identifies with these words:
comical. adventurous. suspenseful. innuendo. awkwardness. growing up. thinking and acting independently. intense. dramatic.
