I second the Hunger Games by Susanne Collins. Also, try the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.
I'd also recommend any of the books written by Karen Kingsbury.

CoN is good, the Hunger Games was also good, BUT, only the first of that series. the 2nd just encourages you to read the 3rd, and one must never, under any circumstances, ever read book #3!! *shudders at memory*0 -
I'm seconding fifty shades of gray. I freakin' hate reading and in 2 days I finished the 2 out of 3 books from the trilogy. I highly recommend it if you like sex.0

It's a sadism, whips and chains, BDSM trilogy And before everyone opens their mouth all appalled at me. I didn't know what it was, bought it, every security guard in the airport stopped me to ask what chapter I was on, and they were all farther. The flight attendant also stopped me and asked about it.
I finished it and left it at my very 'vanilla' moms house one night and in the morning I found it half open in the living room table. I asked her how she was finding it and she said "oh I guess it would be ok for anyone who would be into that kind of thing" and then she told me she was on chapter 16...after one night and staying up late to read it lol. She's now on the second book and has recommended it to several people, including dad. She told a friend in the hospital today that she had to put it down a couple times because it leaves nothing to the imagination and was sick...but I would say that's lies considering she was on chapter 16 :P0 -
To appreciate people - Mitch Albom
To understand subtle behaviours - Malcolm Gladwell
Science Fiction - David Weber
Jack Welch - Straight from the Gut
History of devleopment of technology - James Burke - Day the Universe Changed and Connections0 -
Joe Abercrombie - The First Law Trilogy
Essentially its a Lord of the Rings style book, with added sex, more violence and is far less predictable.0 -
Yep, I'll second the Hunger Games. And Fifty Shades of Grey. Just bought it today and I'm already on page 125! I had to put it away or else I won't be able to go to bed. I also just finished Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah and that was great!0

Oh so THAT's why every woman on Earth is reading it... I did wonder.
However, if you (people reading this thread, not you necessarily, ironanimal) enjoy that, check out the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by A.N. Roquelaire (better known as Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire et al.)0 -
Any book by Janet Evanovich (brain cheetos) or Lee Child (great murder/mystery/suspense)!0
-
depends on your personal preference. some of the authors i've read this year are:
Patrick Rothfuss
Kim Harrisson
Jocelynn Drake
Faith Hunter
Devon Monk
Stephen Lawhead
Brian Lumley0 -
Bumping cause I am always looking for a good book.0

If you liked hunger games etc, try delirium by lauren Oliver, Uglies by Scott Westerfield z(rubbish book name but great story) and divergent by Veronica Roth.
For something a bit different try Dark inside.0 -
Give Jasper FForde a try. He's got a pretty long Thursday Next series that involves her going into 'Book World', expect to see classic characters and places you've probably read about. Also has a nursery crimes series. It's murder/mystery involving all your favorite nursery rhyme characters told in a darker, crazy witty way. And my favorite..Shades of Grey, which is a crazy inventive book about people being ranked in society by their color-sightedness.0

I'm a huge werewolf buff. Movies, books, tv shows. I've been hooked since I was a kid. I've been reading Patricia Briggs. She has a whole Alpha/Omega series. But she does other story lines too.0
-
Cassandra Clare- Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series.
YES, my fav book series!! It's aimed at 15 - 25's (The main character is 15-16) but the story is awesome if you love magical creatures.
I also reccomend The true blood books (10 of them so far), Vamire academy is also an AWESOME series too!0
