I'm going out to buy more books today, and I'm not sure what to get.
I like a wide variety of books, though I can be pretty picky at times.
I like:
- The Nanny Diaries
- Harry Potter
- Gossip Girl sometimes
- Jodi Picoult's books
- A couple of Meg Cabot's books
I like longer books with good plots, like Jodi Picoult's books and the Nanny Diaries, but I like the more humorous ones, like the Nanny Diaries, though I'm not really a fan of the 'chick lit' category. I also like books about big cities. (London, New York,...)
Also if it helps, tv-wise, I'm a fan of the OC, Beauty and the Geek, One Tree Hill, and America's Next Top Model.
Help?!

You come across as a prolific reader. Yet you never mention a 'classic'. The reason they are classics is because they have stood the test of time. Generations later, people are still reading them, so there must be some reason.....
Try;-
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
War & Peace - Tolstoy (Long, & hard work at times - but worth it)
The Old Man & The Sea - Hemmingway. Shortish, but moving.
Cancer Ward - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Anything by Joseph Conrad. (Life at sea)
The following are more modern, but well worth reading;-
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller - amusing
Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K Jerome - really funny.
Thornbirds - Colleen McCullough.
The last is enjoyed by everyone who has read it, male or female. It is heart-rending, but at other times really uplifting. To the extent it was made into a film.
Whatever you chose, good luck. It is nice to know that there is still someone out there that can find enjoyment other than sitting in front of a box or a monitor.

If you like sience fiction, Dune is really good, any book by Louis Lamour and Talor Caldwell (very deep). Also Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes, don't read it at night alone, hehehehe

I'm not sure if you'll like these books. If you like fantasy, try the Pendragon series. It makes a lot more sense if you read them in order, but I don't think you can buy the 1st one in stores anymore. I'm not sure. I love these books, I didn't want to read them at first, I just started because I had to read something for school, but I ended up loving them. I started from my mom, who started from my brother.
If you want to know what they're about...
This kid, Bobby Pendragon, goes to different world-like places called territories. He battles evil and prevents the territories from having a turning point. (like a war)
I don't know, I think they're a LOT better than my summary makes them seem.

My favorite book of all time(other then Harry Potter And Deathly Hallows) is a book called "A Dog's Life" it changed my life. It made me laugh, cry, be mad,and puke at the same time!!!!It's about the amazing life of a stray dog.It's by Ann M. Martin. (Yes, baby sitter's club author) But believe me, It's AMAZING!!!!

The god of literature.... Terry Pratchett. I read my first Pratchett book at thirteen and I haven't stopped laughing since. If you enjoy fantasy i'm sure you'll love his works. I suggest starting with 'Guards! Guards!'.

OH seeing what you like you'll have to try Stephenie Meyer. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse. New moon wasn't as good, but whatever. Good enough.
