What do you like to read? Here's a little bit of everything:
spindle's End by Robin McKinley -fantasy, almost like sleeping beauty
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams- sci-fi/humor-earth gets blown up to make a galactic highway bypass
any of Sharon Creech's books- coming of age that are just sooo good
Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt- coming of age
books by Ann Rinaldi- US historical fiction

The Harry Potter books are great. I enjoy Patricia cornwell books too. I also read alot of Sandra Brown and James Patterson. Iris Johansen is a good author too. One of the favorite books is the true confessions of Charlotte Doyle. I also enjoyed Sarah Bishop. The Spoon River Anthology is a fun read of poems. I like the Swiss Family Robinson and Scarlett Letter.

All of the Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie are good, as are all the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Jane Austen's books are all fabulous, and George Eliot's Middlemarch is one of the greatest novels ever written.

Try Mona Lisa Overdrive by Wiliam Gibson.
This is a good place to start because it covers lots of themes/genres. Punk, Cyber Punk, Sci-Fi, Urban, Etc, Etc.
What a great author!

Beach Music by Pat Conroy is sooo good. You definitely have to read that one. Oh, and anything by David Sedaris - he's hilarious.
