Hmmm, well I haven't read that many books but I'm about half-way thru "Go Ask Alice" It's a really good book. But I guess it depends on what kind of books you're into. Also, The Series Of Unfortunate Events books are good.. I read up to the third one. Hope that helped at all..

All of Chuck Palahniuk's books are awesome:

- Fight Club
- Choke
- Lullaby (highly recommended)
- Invisible Monsters
- Survivor
- Diary

Mitch Albom is another of my favorite authors:

- Tuesdays With Morrie (best book he wrote)
- Five People you Meet In Heaven

you dont really have to ask. if you go to like a barnes and noble place and theres like a section of novels. theres so many to choose from. i always have a hard time. but i recommend "DEATH BE NOT PROUD" a non fiction. its not new but everyone is reading it now for some reason. i'm also reading it and its pretty good so far.

Ahh, I hardly EVER read, except for the occasional Harry Potter. (: But there are these romantic-comedy books by Meg Cabot (who also wrote Princess Diaries) that are uber cute. They're both similar, cause they're entirely written in e-mail form, along with notices and other forms of print, if that made sense. The two that I know of are 'The Boy Next Door' and 'Boy Meets Girl'. I like 'Boy Next Door' better than 'Boy Meets Girl', because it has a deeper plot, I suppose? But yeah, they're both nice if you want a quick read.

Or you could go with Harry Potter<3.

All Quiet on the Western Front
Lord of the Flies
Complete History of Jack the Ripper <- Quite informative
And yeah, those are just a couple to add to the list above - they're good as well. I didn't feel like repeating myself or posting a pointless post.
