Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Series #1)
by Philip Pullman
Good books to read, well written!. Main person's name is Lara (kinda like you) and around the same age (as the book goes on!.)

Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness Series #1)
by Tamora Pierce
Best books I have ever read!. Main character grows up with the books!. In other books Tamora write they turn up again!. Nice that you keep seeing them and what's happening in their life!. Strong women too!.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide Series #1)
by Douglas Adams
Tells you the meaning of life!. Which is 42!. British humor!.

When Lightning Strikes (1-800-Where-R-You Series #1)
by Meg Cabot
Fun light reading!. Liked these books much more then I thought I would!.

Harry Potter
by J!. K!. Rowling
Umm, duh!.

Twilight (series everybody loves for good reason)

Uglies
by Scott Westerfeld
Three books total in series (four if you count Extras) and they are all very interesting!. Takes place in the furture but relates to our time very well!. Fun read!.

All very good books which are worth reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

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!.
