Sci-Fi/Fantasy.  My favorite author was Andre Norton.  I also like Mercedes Lackey and the dragonlance saga.  A good author can take you to another planet with their details and engrossing stories.  I tried to read a romance novel but I couldn't get into it. To much staring into each others eyes etc,stuff.   Some of them are almost like soft porn but in a prettier package..

It would make the novel interesting, which is something rare in the newest novels over the past few years! :o)

Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" is great. You should also read Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird." That is a truly awesome book.

well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here! this is exactly what i told someone else, idk if you read that, but if you did, thats why it looks familiar :)

I think The Diary of Ann Frank is one of the mos tpowerful novels you could do with young people.  Where the Red Fern Grows is another good one, as well as Streams to the River, River to the Sea: A NOvel of Sacagawea.  Call of the Wild, Julie of the Wolves, Black Beauty, and Old Yeller are great for animal lovers.   Summer of My German Soldier is interesting. \n\nI hope these thoughts help you in your decision.

Start reading the classics, also read general knowledge magazines. I know, but a little trivia keeps you from being too boring.

I just read "All the King's Men" by Robert Penn Warren for the first time since high school. I forgot how good that book is!\n\nOther good fiction: (1) "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen is just all-around great, (2) "David Copperfield" or "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens are light and entertaining, and (3) "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl is imaginative like the movie but darker. \n\nGood non-fiction: (1) "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz is possibly the best books I've read in a long time, (2) "Baghdad Without a Map" by Tony Horwitz is a close second, and (3) "Family" by Ian Frazier is a well-written account of the author's ancestry.\n\nHappy reading!

Sue Grafton's novels are good.  (P is for Peril, for example).  On, Off by Colleen McCullough and 5th Horseman by James Ptterson are also great.  Vanished and Superstition by Karen Robards are two more possibilities.

I actually have three favorites.\n\nThe first book is Shogun by James Clavell.  I've read it so many times it fell apart, and I had to buy a new one. It's about an explorer whose ship runs aground in "The Japans."  He has heard about fabulous riches there.  He finds himself in a strange place where he can't speak the language at all and where the customs are completely alien to anything in his experience.  Worst of all, the samurai can kill him for the slightest of affronts.  Fascinating book actually based on the life of a real person (Will Adams), someone who was the ancestor of a man my family knew in Japan.  He moored his boat next to ours.  \n\nThe second is Watchers by Dean Koontz. It's about a genetically enhanced golden retriever, the man who finds him in the woods, and the Other, a creepy creature. \n\nThe third is The Stand by Stephen King.  This one is basically about a Super Flu which escapes from the lab and proceeds to decimate the country.  There are very few survivors, and they are drawn to one of two places - to an old woman (the good) or to the Walking Dude in Vegas (the bad).  Basically, it's about the battle between good and evil for control of the remaining people.  M-O-O-N that spells great book!!

Try James Patterson - his books are top of the line suspense! Also, Dean Coontz is good, although his books are sort of horror/suspense.  \n\nGood luck, and happy reading :)
