HARRY POTTER! =]
A northern light is really good too.
I think twilight is a book for kids a bit older =]
It's amazing though.

Girly lame? I am not a girl and I am not a woman either but your question is as "girly lame" as it gets. Get over being the proud owner of a noodle.
You do need to read some substantial books but I'm afraid anything I could suggest would be way over your lame brain.

I think my favorite book would have to be "Northen Lights" (also known as "The Golden Compass") by Phillip Pullman and book one of His Dark Materials Trilogy.
PS: The Other Two Books Are "The Subtle Knife" and "The Amber Spyglass"
here's the website for it
There's extracts from the each book at the bottom of the page

Kira, that's tough without knowing you better and what your preferences are.
One book you might really like is called "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt. No a girly book in any sense of the word and focuses on he consequences of the choices we make. Excellent book.

I like anything by Sylvia Browne. You can pick them up at Amazon or Half Price Bookstore
It is nice to know that kids are reading out there.

try mystery novels... All of my fav books would be considered "too girly" like 'Memoirs of a Geisha'
