No sci fi or horror leaves a big area, but I like John Grisham. I have read all of his books except The Brethren and The Partner. They usually involve a lawyer and the legal system, but they are not boring! I had a hard time putting any of his books down...And even if you saw some of the movie remakes, it doesnt matter, you will still enjoy the books. Now Nicholas Sparks is good too, but he usually has some romance in it. Also Mary Higgins Clark is a good one, romance included too. All of these authors I have mentioned have no real graphic worded scenes, I think Grisham uses the f word, but Clark has almost no swearing. Also, by romance I dont mean like a Harlequin book,,,just relationships. But anyway good luck. I usually judge a good book by picking it up and reading the first page...if it flows and I get "caught up in it", and dont have to struggle to picture what is happening, I tend to read it. Hope you find a good one!

10, actually, the entire vampire chronicles by Anne Rice (I know you said you don't like horror, but they're not really). Interview With the Vampire (obviously!); The Vampire Lestat; The Queen of the Damned; The Tale of the Body Thief; Memnoch the Devil; The Vampire Armand; Merrick; Blood and Gold; Blackwood Farm and The Blood Canticle. The way in which she goes through all the histories of the main characters and ties them all together...the woman is amazing.
If they're not for you, then try anything by Kathy Reichs or Tom Clancy.

You don't reveal your age, but if you're between 12 and 18 and into video games and best friends stories I think you might like my novel GAMEPLAYER: The Genesis Portal.
GAMEPLAYER follows the adventures of Nine-dog, Gator and Louie; three racially diverse buddies growing up in the skateboarding, video gaming obsessed Santa Monica, California beach life-style.
Their lives revolve around school, skateboarding and video gaming until a bizarre encounter with a run amuck video game propels them into a deadly world of terror, murder and intrigue.
It's available at the normal online sites like amazon, B&N, Borders, etc. and as an ebook on mobipocket.com.
You can check it out further and read the prologue on my site www.myspace.com/gameplayerbook.
Not meant as a commercial just a suggestion,

"Three friends" by Erich Maria Remarque
I have had so many good conversations about this book, it seems to have a bit of an underground following. Great love story but not in a cheesy way.
I also really enjoyed "Wonderland Avenue" by Danny Sugarman which is the ulimate Rock n' Roll bio.

Try Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn - a very clever but very entertaining book which is set on a fictional island off the coast of South Carolina. It addresses freedom of speech, totalitarianism and freedom in an ingenuous way, and is one of those books you can't put down. Have given it to various people who have then all lent it to other people - do try.

I like real stuff. Ladies First by Queen Latifah is very good. 8 Ball Chicks is by a reporter who infiltrated California female gang members. I am looking forward to The Diana Chronicles.

I highly recommend The Princess Bride by William Goldman. If you've seen the movie, you've only gotten a taste of what's in the book. Not only is this novel very funny, but it also manages to be quite compelling.
