Hmmm...Well, Harry Potter heart and Lord of the Rings heart is a given, and most people have read them anyway...

So, here's my suggestions. I only know some author names, so don't get too mad if I don't put those:

Blood and Chocolate
The da Vinci Code by Dan Brown heart
The Only Alien on the Planet
The Seer and the Sword
The His Dark Materials Triliogy (The golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass) heart heart

That's all I can think of for now. I'll edit my list and add more later.

Ah I am a big fan of the Abhosen trilogy by Garth Nix. Its not to well known but has three books, Sabriel being the first, Lirael, being the second, and Abhorsen being the third. They are all so very well written. If you enjoy reading about strong women, magic, and necromancy these are definatly books you will want to pick up.

I also loved the deltora quest series. Its a small book series written for younger audiences but it is still something worth reading. I am twenty two and I still love those books! Very well written with an excellent story.

I suggest reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was really deep, and it felt like it taught me something, but I'm not exactly sure what sweatdrop

The Outsiders is another great one too. I had to read that in class last year. I didn't think I'd like it because it was an old book, but I was really wrong

Others:
Babylon Rising By the same guy who wrote The Left Behind series
Memories Of Summer
The Westing Place (I think that's what it's called, I can't remember though, it was a murder mystery and we read it in 7th grade sweatdrop )

Dangit! I wanted to say Twilight and New Moon! stare Meh, oh well.
Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
When the Wind Blows
Both by James Patterson, both very good books. They have to deal with a place called the School and in the School, they change humans to have animal properties. The main characters are part bird, and they are very intresting! 3nodding

OOHHH!!! Twilight was EXCELLENT!!!
I loved it!!!
Oh, and I know most of us are into fantasy, but I've recently been reading John Grisham. He's known for writing about politics and lawyer...stuff. Anyway, I've recently read The Firm, and it was Excellent. I must admit that for some it may be slightly hard to get into, but it was an excellent book. ^^

The book called "Stiff" was a good one. We read it for class a few semesters ago. Since I am too lazy to get up and get it I cannot give the author right now, but when I decide to get up I shall add that with the name of the book.
