Try some of these:

Neil Gaiman is an amazing author! Any of his books are good!. Try Neverwhere, Stardust or Coraline!.

Edgar Allen Poe is a really good author!. Check out his poems and short stories!.

Any books by Scott Westernfeld or Neal Shusterman are really good too!.

Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator!. And then there is the The Kiesha'ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail!.

I would try something by Meg Cabot!.!.!. she has single books and series too, so you can pick what you want!.

BY FAR, what you would enjoy the most would be The Mediator series (Shadowland, Ninth Key, Reunion, Darkest Hour, Haunted, Twilight) about a girl who sees ghosts and has to help them move on!.!.!. what she doesn't count on is the hot ghost living in her new bedroom who doesn't seem to want to go anywhere!.

There's also All-American Girl, Teen Idol, Avalon High, and the 1-800-WHERE-R-U series (5 of those, I believe)!.

Meg also has the Princess Diaries and some adult stories as well (I think "Size 12 is Not Fat" is amazing!)!.!.!.

She's the queen of teen fiction, check her out on bn!.com or amazon!.com!.!.!. or megcabot!.com

Then there's also Tamora Pierce books--- She did the Lioness quartet, Circle quartet, well!.!.!. a lot of them!.

I'd try out the Lioness one first!.!.!. Alanna: The First Adventure is the first book of that series!. It's about a girl who decides to switch places with her twin brother so she can become a knight!. However, she must disguise herself as a boy and gets way more than she bargains for when magic and evil forces begin to interfere with her plans!.

tamorapierce!.com has a listing of all the booksWww@QuestionHome@Com

I do that and find it helps here are some books I like but cannot remember the Authors name(sorry!.)- Ransom, the portal!. here are some that I know the authors are- By Dean Koontz- Odd Thomas, Brother Odd, Intensity!. Sometimes you just have to pick up a book even when it does not interest you and read it you never know you might like it!. hope I've helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fantasy! I have just the list:

The Chronicles of Narnia by C!.S!. Lewis
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/The_Chronic!.!.!.
The Chronicles of Narnia present the adventures of children who play central roles in the unfolding history of the fictional realm of Narnia, a place where animals talk, magic is common, and good battles evil!. Each of the books (with the exception of The Horse and His Boy) features as its protagonists children from our world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon to help the lion Aslan handle a crisis in the world of Narnia !.

Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld
http://www!.scottwesterfeld!.com/books/ugl!.!.!.
UGLIES trilogy follows the high-tech adventures of Tally Youngblood!. As an ugly, then a pretty, and finally a special, Tally works to take down a society created to function with perfect-looking people who never have a chance to think for themselves!.

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
http://www!.philip-pullman!.com/pages/cont!.!.!.
Lyra and Will, children from different worlds, share two common bonds, the loss of parents and the possession of objects which give them unique access to knowledge!. One is an object which communicates truth about any situation to any person wise enough to be able to read it and the other an instrument which can cut open windows to other worlds!.

Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Inheritance!.!.!.
Fifteen year-old Eragon discovers his destiny as a Dragon Rider!. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and his dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds!.

Xanth Series by Piers Anthony
http://www!.amazon!.com/Xanth-nbsp-Series/!.!.!.
Fun series full of fantastic creatures, a unique parallel world and a magic system based on puns!. Yes I said puns! These are a light read and funny as heck (by the rules of the Adult Conspiracy if I say the other word really bad things will happen!.) Anthony has taken puns sent to him over the years by readers and woven them into a tongue in cheek universe where babies are actually delivered by storks and children are kept innocent at all costs!. Fun reads!.

Shannara Series by Terry Brooks!.
http://www!.terrybrooks!.net/bio!.html
This is epic fantasy (14 books) with LoTR overtones but set in a post apocalyptic world where magic has replaced technology!. The first book that was written, The Sword of Shannara, follows Shea Olmsford in his quest to recover the magical sword and use it to defeat the evil Warlock Lord!. When this book was first published it rocketed up the best sellers lists, and with good reason!. This is high fantasy at its best and a must read for anyone who loved Lord of the Rings!.

Mithgar Series by Dennis L!. McKiernan
http://www!.amazon!.com/Mithgar-Dennis-L-M!.!.!.
The first book was originally written as a sequel to LoTR, but once written the Tolken family backed out the deal!. So in an attempt to save the story, McKieran rewrote it, changing a few elements, names and so forth to make it unique!. But its still an LoTR sequel and that doesn't remove its charm!. He went on to write 17 books in this series, and each was better then the last!. The battle scenes are better, the characters are portrayed with more warmth and as long as you realize the parallels are intentional, you'll enjoy these as much as LoTR!.
They have all of the ingrediants of high fantasy, elves, dwarves, warrows (hobbits), orges, trolls (by other names) a group of loyal companions on a quest against evil!. I stumbled onto this series late (Hel's Crucible)!. By then his writing had greatly improved and I enjoyed the books throughly!. Purists may wish to start at the beginning and watch the story, and the writer, grow but you can start on later books and not really miss out on anything!. Fun reads!.

Truth Series by Dawn Cook
http://dragonsheroesandwizards!.blogspot!.!.!.!.
This series is delightful!. The characters are kept to a minimum; a welcome change from heavier epic fantasy!. There is romance, mystery, heartache, humor, prejudice, magic (or is it science!?) and dragons!. Well I picture them as dragons, Dawn Cook names them Ruka but they are still huge, winged, magical, intelligent lizards, yep, thats dragons! There is also an evil villain bent on taking over the world, but that just adds more flavor!.

Dragon Riders of Pern by Anne Mcaffery
http://www!.iblist!.com/series130!.htm
Anne Mcaffery is one of those authors whose books just leave you feeling good once you read the last page!. While a combination of Sci-fi and Fantasy (the argument continues about which one it is) they sit on my fantasy shelf!. Anyone who has ever dreamed of riding a dragon should read these!.

Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey
http://www!.mercedeslackey!.com/biblio_ser!.!.!.
This is a large collection and every book in it is excellent!. The concept of being *chosen* by a companion, which is essentially a telepathic horse with amazing powers, is delightful!. Once chosen you become one of the elite heralds, protectors of the realm!. Start with Arrows of the Queen!.

The Belgariad (5), The Malloreon(5), The Elenium (3), The Tamuli(3) by David and Leigh Eddings
http://www!.eddingschronicles!.com/index!.h!.!.!.
I can't say enough good about these books!. They are full of rich content, fantastic worldbuilding and plenty of sorcery!. One of my biggest draws is the humor, the interaction between characters can be side splitting at times!. They are rift with dry wit, affectionate banter and personal quirks!. My favorite books hands down!.

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Mists_of_Av!.!.!.
I've always loved her writing, even her Sci-fi books and I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan!. In this book she gives a feminist light on the Celtic era where Merlin reigned supreme by telling the story from the viewpoint of the women who played a part!. In a topic that has been done to death, somehow she manages to make it all fresh and new, and a great read!. There are more books in this series that she wrote with Diane L!. Paxton including a prequel called Forest House!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
