I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells & Queen of Babble) and Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] & Remember Me) Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed & Something Blue, Baby Proof) books!. I am in the process of reading Jennifer Weiner's (Good In Bed & Certain Girls) books!. They are all great authors!

For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books!. She is the best author!. also best selling!. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more!. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her!.

If you want more info or any of the authors website's email me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just read the Devil in the White City, which I thought was really interesting--and it's nonfiction!. It's by Erik Larson, and it's about the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, and two very different men who were at the fair: one was an architect, the other was a serial killer!. They never met, but it was a very interesting way for the author to write about this event in history!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It all depends on what you like and how old you are!. Some of my favorite books are the Alanna series by Tamora Pierce (actually all her books are really good), Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (the same author who wrote the Uglies series), the Faerie Wars series by Herbie Brennan, the Bloody Jack series by L!.A!. Meyer (it isn't actually about a pirate, but a girl who becomes a sailor), and Dr!. Franklin's Island by Ann Halen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I loved these books BEFORE the tv show even came out (I still haven't even watched an episode now that I think about it) but Gossip Girls is such a good series of books!. They're light readers but so addicting!.

also, some timeless favs would be To Kill a Mockingbird and Great Gatsby!. I know it's some mandatory high school books, but they still hit the spot when you need to have faith in the good in people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really love all of the books by John Grisham!.
Especially "A Time to Kill" "The King of all Torts" and his latest work "Innocent Man!."
His books are mostly about law and murder but are always very interesting!.
My favorite by Grisham is "Street Lawyer!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

fiction: 1984 by george Orwell
an amazing book, so many great ideas in it, the origin of the phrase 'big brother' but there's so much more packed into it!. Not too long either but it will change your life!

A 'popular maths' book about a mathematical problem that remained unsolved for hundreds of years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

MissyLu, The Great Gatsby by F!. Scott Fitzgerald!. Try that; I had to read it in sophomore English in high school!. also, try the Lost Boy trilogy by Dave Pelzer!.
