The Pillars of the Earth

I know this much is true - Wally Lamb

We need to talk about Kevin

To kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

A million little pieces - James Frey



Thanks for your time =)



Oh and please no Stephenie Meyer.. tried to read them and not a fan =]Book suggestions =) Please?
No Stephenie Meyer?



Oh well, at least you tried. I have to say though, she's my favorite author.



Anyhoo, here are some book suggestions, although i think that other person has you pretty well covered:



From Where I Stand is a book I read recently, and thought it was absolutely amazing. It really touched me. It's a physiological thriller about a deeply disturbed boy who witnessed his mother's death. A real page turner.



The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime is another really interesting and thought provoking read.



this website http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/ has a massive list of authors and a ton of great book selections. On my first go i found a list of 18 books that I now really want to read.



I hope this helps and happy reading :)
If you enjoyed Harper Lee there is a chance you will also enjoy a Truman Capote novel... they grew up together and remained friends in adulthood. His work is excellent. What are you looking for classics or contemporary?

For Classics I would recommend:

Shakespeare

Homer (the Iliad, The Odyssey)

The Scarlett Letter

The Crucible

The Picture of Dorian Grey

Lord of the Flies

The Inheritors

Valley of the Dolls



Contemporary:

Phillipia Gregory's novels; they blend fiction and history well

The Beach

The Virgin Suicides

I must confess, I have been reading more classics lately but I did enjoy Phillipa Gregory's novels.



Sorry about the lists being so short, I have shelves of books but these eem to be the only ones that come to the top of my mind.Book suggestions =) Please?
I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells %26amp; Queen of Babble, and tons of others), Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] %26amp; Remember Me), Jennifer Weiner (Good in Bed %26amp; Certain Girls) and Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed %26amp; Something Blue) books.They are all great authors!



For a young adult/teen 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.
