The girl with the dragon tattoo series was great.

The hunger games trilogy was great too.

I've recently been reading Carl Hiaasen. His characters are HILARIOUS. Sick Puppy was great and now I'm reading Basket Case.

I was on a vampire book rampage for a while after I read the twilight saga (3 times), then I read the sookie stackhouse novels, and all of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

For action I love Clive Cussler books. My favorite is probably Inca Gold, but any of his Dirk Pitt books are great.

Oh, I love historical fiction too. Phillippa Gregory has some great ones.

Almost finished reading "The Help" and it may be one of the best books I've read in a lonnnggg time. I've been laughing, in suspense and almost in tears the entire way through (minus the beginning which always takes some time getting into).

I second that sugestion! I really enjoyed reading it. Kept me laughing and crying all the way though..

Also have you ever read stuff by Sophia Kinsilla? The Shopaholic books are great, as are her other books. Janet Evenoich's Stephanie Plum novels are a great read.

I just read Something Borrowed, and Something Blue...those were really good as well....

Lets see..what else.....The Namesake was really good too...not as girly as my other books. lol Anything by John Gresham is okay with me.

I just got Sick Puppy on my kindle to give it a try.

I also like historical fiction. I really liked Ken Follett's books and Bernard Cromwell is pretty good too.

All of the Prey books by John Sandford are good.

George R.R. Martin a song of ice and fire is a great series, it is fantasy not murder mysteries, but still a good read.

I think you'll like sick puppy! I'm in the middle of Basket Case right now, and it's very entertaining. I'll definitely look into Ken Follett and Bernard Cromwell! Thanks for that! Have you read The Da Vinci Code yet? that was great, so was The Lost Symbol.

i just read this too and really liked it a lot. As far as other books i would reccomend, im a huge Dean Koontz fan, especially the Odd Thomas series

I really enjoyed this series.
They're making it into a movie!

i heard that! Cant wait to see it, hopefully its as good as the book, sometimes its so dissapointing to read a book and then the movie sucks!

Lee Child - Any of his Jack Reacher series.

I second this.. Any Jack Reacher (Lee Child) is brill... Love them. Reacher is an Ex Army MP who just roves around the US..

Also the Harry Bosch (Michael Connelly ) books.. Along the lines of Reacher, except Harry Bosch is a detective solving crimes..

Favorite book of all time - Servent of the Bones by Ann Rice.. Amazing book..

Also second "The Help" by Katherine Stockett ?? Not sure thats the correct spelling. Takes a little to get going, but a very good book...

The Magic Kingdom of Landover by Terry Brooks is a good series (6 books total).

Stephen King...pretty much any of his stuff (The Dark Tower series, Desperation, The Dark Half, Under the Dome).

Dean Koontz, again the Odd Thomas series is good - as are most of his books (i.e. Icebound).

The Drizzt Do'Urden series by R.A. Salvatore (not quite sure how many books are in this series, as the "series" is broken into smaller series).

I've also enjoyed Sue Grafton's Alphabet (Kinsey Millhone) series, as well as Janet Evanovich's Number (Stephanie Plum) series.

George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series!

Yeah, put me in with the Lee Child fan clubbers. Every one of his books is insanely great. I also like the Butch Karp series by Robert Tannenbaum and Daniel Silva's series featuring Gabriel Allon. Michael Connolley rocks, and although I'm not a huge fan of scary stuff, I really like the three (or four, maybe) books featuring Odd Thomas (yeah, that's the main character's name), written by Dean Koontz.

Excellent book - House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Give it about 50 pages and then you're hooked.

Fabulous book - Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Just finished and loved? - 11/22/63 by Stephen King
