that I can get at the library. No scary ones or Sci- Fi though. Here's an idea of the kind of books I like...
One Door Away From Heaven- Dean Koontz
Othello- William Shakespeare
They Cage The Animals At Night- Jennings Michael Birch
Their Eyes Were Watching God- Zora Neale Hurston
The Notebook- Nicholas Sparks
What Dreams May Come- Richard Matheson

I love Their Eyes were Watching God! Have you read, The Poisonwood Bible? It is an excellent story. I highly recommend it for the pacing and beautiful unfolding of it. You are hooked by the first page. I hardly ever read fiction anymore because I am so hard to please. I have to have a really good story to keep me interested and I detest overwriting. Here is an amazon page with it. I have found the reviews very helpful on many of the books I choose to read. For non fiction, I suggest The Emancipator's Wife. It is a book about Mary Todd Lincoln which reads like a novel and illuminates her character to a new degree, not paintiing her as simply a shrewish nutcase.

It would help if you gave your age and interests, but here goes:
http://www.life-after-harry-potter.com
Included is a list of only the best sorcery fantasy books, grade reading level, a short review of each book along with a brief summary of adult content. There is also a "Reader's Choice" list of favorite books, and a list of heroine sorcery fantasy books.
Also these: http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grtother.html#great . Lots of lists, but I especially like the Harvard Classics list - all the books that I should have read, but (mostly) never did.
Finally, these: http://www.awardannals.com/wiki/Honor_roll:Genres - pick your genre, find the best books ranked by how many awards they've won.
I hope this helps.
