I've been reading the Ender series by Orson Scott Card and it's pretty awesome. You can start with Ender's Game, then go either way. I started with the Shadow books, such as Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets and Shadow of the Giant. Now I'm reading Speaker of the Dead. He has a lot of different books in the series that you don't have to read them in a row to get them. :)

If you like fantasy then I very much recommend Lord of the Rings (slow at first but worth persisting with as books have far more in them than the movie), The Hobbit and His Dark Materials.

As for non-fiction, I'm currently reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert which is very good.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte! There's a reason people still read it over 100 years later!

Wicked by Gregory Maguire
The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith
Christine by Stephen King
Phantoms by Dean Koontz
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl (non-fiction, about his time in a concentration camp and how he kept himself alive and gave himself hope by searching for meaning in his life - very good book! And easy to read for a non-fic book)
The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith

Anything written by R.A. Salvatore (He has a TON of fantasy type books).
Wiz Biz by David Weber.
Hell's Faire (forget author's name) is pretty good.
Pinheads & Patriots by Bill O'Reilly.
Most of Robert Jordan's books are good.
The Shannara series by Terry Brooks (like 8 or 9 books, at least...I think).
The Warded Man (forget author's name).

For me I love mystery books & fantasy books. So anything by J.D. Robb especially her In Death series for Mystery. I love love love love love LOVE Raymond E. Feist!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His fantasy writing is AMAZING! First book is Magician: Apprentice. Start there & just keep going. He's even written some books that go back to the first Saga but about the people surrounding the main war. Its a great read, it has mystery, love, war, & fantasy. Another good book is called Kindred. I forget who it's by but I had to read it for my Junior English class. The sad thing is I can never find it in a library. I think it's one you will have to get online. Also To Kill a Mockingbird. If you like romance novels I recommend the authers on my Book List

I love sci fi and fantasy. My favourite authors are Steven Brust (humourous fantasy), Steven Erikson (EPIC fantasy - huge books but awesome reads), Patricia A McKillip (fairy tales ftw!), John Ringo (military sci-fi), David Weber (also military sci-fi - both he and Ringo do some great fantasy works tho), and Robert Rankin (because I love British humour). Look into some of those :D

The Mortal Instruments series (And it's prequel series, which starts with Clockwork Angel) - Cassandra Clare
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

I'm currently reading "Fallen" by Lauren Kate, and it's good so far.

Well, I have't big as big on reading my whole life as I should have, so pretty much everything I would have said has been said. haha. But just to reiterate - Catcher in the Rye, The Bell Jar... And if you're looking for a hilarious book that isn't really a novel, check out "America" by Jon Stewart, lol. I know he has an Earth one out now, too, which has to be just as good.
