I would put a disclaimer saying no Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse suggestions!. Otherwise you'll get 1,000 answers!. lol!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

most people are going to say twilight
(even though i recommend it myself)
but there is the harry potter series
and it just depends on what you like in booksWww@QuestionHome@Com

try the enders series by Orsen Scott Card also there is the Dragon riders of Pern by Anne Mccaffrey, these are both sci-fiWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you have already read Jane Eyre, I recommend The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You Don't Know Me by David Klass!. i'm not sure if i got the author's name right but its a really good book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Giver by Lois Lowry my personal favorite!. :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

"The Guards" by Ken Bruen
"Caught Stealing" by Charlie HustonWww@QuestionHome@Com

Depends on the genre!.

If you're looking for a general sort of book, then I definately recommend "Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathon Foer!. It's kind of trippy -it spans three different time periods/is essentially three books in one- but it's also very, very good!. It was made into a movie starring Elija Wood a few years back-which may or may not make you want to read it- which has become one of my personal favorites!. Part of it is about this man Jonathon who goes to the Ukraine to help him write a book about his grandfather and his time during WWII, another is about his ancestor's life, and still another is about Jonathon's english translator!. http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!.

If you're into fantasy, I would suggest The Sevenwaters Trilogy!. It's very hard to explain, but still very good nonetheless!. http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!.

Romance, well!.!.!.!. Historical would have to be anything by Julia Quinn -the best in my opinion being The Viscount Who Loved Me- or anything by Lisa Kleypas!. Very, very good!.http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!.
http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!.

Dark fantasy (vampires, witches, etc!.) would have to be Karen Chance's novels around Cassandra Palmer!. Touch the Dark is the fist book in the series!. http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Touch-t!.!.!.

If you're looking for teen fiction, then Sarah Dessen is a great author!. I'm especially fond of The Truth About Forever!. http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/booksea!.!.!.

Some other really good books:
Cat's Cradle
The China Garden
The Other Boylen Girl
Of Mice and Men
Prey
Andromeda StrainWww@QuestionHome@Com

Since you don't care what kind of book it is, I'll offer some suggestions from different genres, so that you can choose what type of book you're in the mood for!.!.!.

For historical fiction (a lot of these contain underlying romance, as well):
-Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery (this series has eight books overall, the first one being Anne of Green Gables)!. This series takes place in the early 1900s, and is about a hot-headed, stubborn orphan girl who finds a way of fitting into the little town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island!. As the series progresses, the main character (Anne) grows up, marries, etc!.!.!.
-Anything by Jane Austen, such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, etc!.!.!.Many of her books are about women of the 1800s and their attempts at fitting into society, finding romance/love, etc!.!.!.
-Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - This is about four sisters in the 1860s, and it portrays how the sisters grow up, find romance/love, etc!.!.!.

For fantasy/fiction:
-The Hobbit by J!.R!.R!. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings trilogy by Tolkien!. Tolkien's books are filled with creativity, wonderful and imaginative characters, intelligence, and excellent writing!.!.!.
-The Chronicles of Narnia by C!.S!. Lewis - These may be written technically for children, but even adults can enjoy this series; this series is a very fun and magical read!. And the underlying messages in these books are very profound and intelligent!.
-I don't know how old you are, but when I was a little younger I enjoyed the fantasy books/series by Tamora Pierce!. Her books are technically for young teens and young adults, I believe, but even those older can enjoy her books!. My favorite series of hers was always Circle of Magic, which has four books, each one revolving around a kid with a special power!. I also heard that a good series of hers is The Song of the Lioness, which is about a girl named Alanna trying to become a knight!.
-For somethig a little more mature, perhaps, you could try George R!.R!. Martin's fantasy novels/series!. I have actually never read his stuff, but my dad enjoys his works (and so do many others I've talked to!.!.!.)!. His books are written for young adults and mainly adults, I believe!. One fantasy series of his that is popular is called A Song of Ice and Fire!.

For horror/suspense:
-H!.P!. Lovecraft's short stories, such as "The Dunwich Horror," "The Dreams in the Witch-House," "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" etc!.!.!.Many of his stories have an excellent spook factor and eerie endings (and there are some excellent books that are collections of Lovecraft's greatest works)!.
-Books by Dean Koontz - Koontz's books are filled with excellent suspense!. His book called Watchers is good, and its suspense starts on page 1!. Watchers involves the consequences of a top-secret government laboratory genetically altering two creatures - one a very intelligent dog and the other a savage, violent monster!. Koontz's books have excellent suspense and even a little horror intertwined in them!. Some of his books have some brief mature moments, but nothing absolutely terrible!.

For something a little more classic, perhaps:
-Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift - This is about a sailor/captain of a ship who, throughout the book, ends up in four different, interesting lands - one of the lands is inhabited by tiny people, one is inhabited by giants, one is inhabited by talking horses, and one of the lands is a floating island!.!.!.
-Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
-A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (and many other novels written by Dickens)
