The Stand by Stephen King. Its a classic tale of good versus evil along the Armaggedon lines. The Characters stand out. The ending is unreal.

I'm close to finishing a very good book: "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt.
Don't let the thickness of the book put you off, it is an easy and compelling read. The cast of characters are enigmatic and your perception of them and the meaning of the story changes constantly but subtly throughout the book.
The basic synopsis: an elite group of ancient history students are involved in murder and conspiracy, blackmail and evil.

The Harry Potter books are great. The latest is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Other great books are The Series of Unfortunate Events, Uglies, & Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Hey have you read "the house of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer its really interesting book hear read the back.
"Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the united states and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster-- escept for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.
As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patron's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom, Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect"

I liked A Child Called It by David Pelzer... It's very shocking, and at the same time, you learn about things...

"El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes.
Or as it is known in english: Don Quixote.
People will stare at you because you will be laughing reading a THICK book with no pictures.
Make sure you try it in Spanish.
