the Uglies series i would highly;y recommend it it is awesome ( Uglies, Pretties, and Specials are the book titles.) then i have read the Twilight Series there are only two books out now that one and New Moon they were fantastic and even thought the theme is more magical it is written in a non cheesy way and i loved them. I have also read books by Nostradamus and the D. Code they were long but very good, if you want something classic Great Expectations or a Picture of Dorian Grey are very good classics If you are looking for a fast read that will keep you interested you might wantto read the book called Star Girl though it's an easy read it carries a powerful message, and another one of my favorites is ( i am not sure of teh spelling bacause it is spanish) Esperanza Rising that book is amazing THere is also a shorty read called a dogs life which sounds cheesy but is great and there is So be it thats a good book, THe Yearling, Withering Hights, BUt my so- close to favorit book is called Double identity it is amazing and it is so non-predictable. well good luck if i think of anymore that i have read in the pastcouple of months i will let you know

Everyone's taste is different. Are you looking for fiction or nonfiction? History? Biography? Horror? Romance? Poetry? etc etc etc. There are so many Genre's and so many styles that you just have to investigate for yourself.
Here's a start.
What's your favorite movie?
Chances are it's based on a book or there's a movie-tie-in book available somewhere.
And if there isn't one, then you can still go to any book store and just talk to someone who works there. Let them know what kind of movies or stories you like, and ask them what books would be similar.
It might not be specific but hey, it's a start.

u really need to specify wat type of book u like:
historical fiction
biography
sci-fi
action/suspence
romance
classic
mystery
comical romance
if u still dont no compare it 2 movies:
historical fiction (usually something like johnny tremain or anne of green gables)
biography (documentary)
sci-fi (harry potter)
action/suspence (i cant think of any books that they made into movies right now buy national treasure is a movie and the maximum ride: the angel experiment is a book)
romance (sense and senseablity, pride and predjiduce)
classic (narnia, huck finn)
mystery (the theif lord)
comical romance (chick flicks search authors like meg cabot, gail carsson levine, alice hoffman, shannonn hale)
ask a librarian at ur local library
or ask a friend who u no is a book worm
