-Kushiel's dart, Jacqueline Carey
A massive fantasy tale about the violent death of an old age and the birth of a new one. Here is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Born with a scarlet mote in her left eye, Phedre no Delaunay is sold into indentured servitude as a child. When her bond is purchased by an enigmatic nobleman, she is trained in history, theology, politics, foreign languages, and the arts of pleasure. Above all, she learns the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Exquisite courtesan, yet talented spy, she may seem an unlikely heroine... but when Phedre stumbles upon a plot threatening her homeland, Terre d'Ange, she has no choice but to act. Betrayed into captivity in the barbarous northland of Skaldia, and accompanied only by disdainful young warrior-priest, Phedre makes a harrowing escape and an even more harrowing journey, to return to her people and deliver them a warning of the impending invasion. And that proves only the first step in a quest that will take her to the edge of despair and beyond.
--Shadowland, by Meg Cabot (writing as Jenny Carroll)
Suze is a mediator -- a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations.
But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind ... and Suze happens to be in the way.
-The Silver Kiss, by Annette Curtis-Klause
A mysterious teenage boy harboring a dark secret helps Zoè come to terms with her mother's terminal illness.
-Blood and Chocolate, by Annette Curtis-Klause
Having fallen for a human boy, a beautiful teenage werewolf must battle both her packmates and the fear of the townspeople to decide where she belongs and with whom.
-Shadow game, Christine Feehan
The classified experiment is the brainchild of renowned scientist Peter Whitney and his brilliant daughter, Lily. Created to enhance the psychic abilities of an elite squadron, it can transform their natural mental powers into a unique military weapon. But something goes wrong. In the isolated underground labs, the men have been dying-victims of bizarre accidents. Captain Ryland Miller knows he is next. When Dr. Whitney himself is murdered, Ryland has only one person left to trust: the beautiful Lily. Possessed of an uncanny sixth sense herself, Lily shares Ryland's every new fear, every betrayal, every growing suspicion, and every passionate beat of the heart. Together, they will be drawn deeper into the labyrinth of her father's past...and closer to a secret that someone would kill to keep hidden.

Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game
Laurie R. King's The Beekeeper's Apprentice, or, on the Segregation of the Queen
Robin McKinley's Beauty
Tamora Pierce's Trickster's Queen (Trickster's Choice)
and although I haven't read Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment I hear it's good.
And I'm reading Charles Dickens's Great Expectations... its actually really good! Way better than that REALLY long book I read, rememeber?
And also Jim Lovell's (the actual astronaut) and Jeffrey Kluger's Apollo 13 (and I think it was previously called Lost Moon) thats great too!
OOOh!!! OOOh!!!! And the Pendragon series Josey and I have been telling you about by DJ MacHale. Bâ¥bby is wayyyyy better than Edward, you'll see...âº

I can suggest you to read "The Mist of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It's the well-known story of King Arthur narrated by Morgana. It's really a magical book.
Try also to read "Eragon" and its sequel "Eldest". Those are well-written books with many echoes of other stories.
The last suggestion: the books about Deverry written by Katherine Kerr.
Have a good reading!

Well, I'm not sure if this would be in your prefrence, but you might call it an adventure, I suppose?
Anyway, it's Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
It's about a man who is mentally retarded who undergoes experimental surgery designed to boost his intelligence.... to learn more about it, you can visit this page: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/algernon/summary.html
