Brittney l- I'm 17, and I'm open to any genre. Doesn't matter as long as the book is good :)

SEARCH FOR THE SUN by Ellen Anthony
Donal Yorkson is 16 and a rookie cop on a science fiction world. When a great lady is murdered and disgraced, he sets out to discover why.
There are many obstacles in his path. First he is transferred to another city to further his education, then his family attempts to keep him out of it. And he even suspects the queen of barring his path. Her prime minister is one of those he suspects, but how could Lord Robar kill his own sister? And how could the Queen be protecting the man who killed her daughter-in-law? And why did the killer murder all the lady's servants, but leave her three month old son alive? And who killed Donal's partner in the initial investigation?
This mystery allows you to go through the murder scene no less than four times. Each time you learn something new and something else is disproved. If you like puzzles and you want a really good mystery to solve, this is it.

The Stand by Stephen King. Its a tale of Good versus Evil set in modern day America pitting Mother Abigail and the good in Boulder Colorado against "The Walking Dude" and his cronies in Las Vegas Nevada. The ending is real intense.

Julie Garwood, start with 'HeartBreaker'
Nora Roberts, Luanna Rice, Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series John Saul, Lee Child, Iris Johansen,Karin Slaughter (her books can get very detailed...the main char is a coroner...) "sisters" by Danielle Steel is good. Robert Crais, Karen Marie Moning, Jennifer Wiener, Tami Hoag, Lisa Jackson, Jodi Picoult, Penny McCall, Janine Latus (her's is about her life and her sister's who ends up murdered...very sad, but very good)
Most of these authors' books you can read randomly, but most have charcters that are in other books as well...
O! And there's the Beacon Street Girls series by Annie Bryant. (u'll find it in the kids section at the store =] ) its abotu five best friends in the 7th grade. LOL it's good tho. I like. And there's the "uglies" series...i forget who writes that one, but its good too.

My favorite book is a tie between "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll and "'Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. Totally on opposite sides of the spectrum, but they are both amazing!

Naughts and Crosses by Melanie Brown
Think reversal of roles...African Americans are in charge of the severely segregated Caucasians. Spies, love and the whole shebang.
:D

East of Eden, by John Steinbeck.
I second that Ozgard, the Stand totally rocks. Definite number two for me.

If you've never read John Irving, I recommend anything by him. Especially "A Prayer for Owen Meany."
