And just to bring in some more classics:
The Robe by Lloyd C Douglas
The Count of Monte Cristo
Great books that I read in high school and that still remain on my top 10 list.

Think I'll start The Book Thief next...

It's quite good. What else did you stock up with?

I really like John Irving...but haven't read the most recent one....oh, this makes me think it would be a nice thing if I spent more time actually reading!

It's quite good. What else did you stock up with?

I added Thirteen Reasons Why, a few John Green books, The Hunger Games series (for a reread), a few Mitch Albom books, Perks of Being a Wallflower (shocker, haven't read it yet), and I'm going to try and find some Sophie Kinsella too.

If I talk about the Carrie Diaries, and Summer In The City, will I get kicked out of this thread? I may or may not have liked them...a lot.

If you like "cozy" mysteries, Carolyn Hart is a wonderful writer, especially her Death on Demand series.

Anything by P.J. O'Rourke, Carl Hiaason, Tim Dorsey, Dave Barry.

And I love old books by authors including Irvin Cobb, Westbrook Pegler, HL Mencken.

I am a huge legal/political thriller fan. Can't go wrong with a good John Grisham novel. I am also embarrassed to admit I read wonky political non fiction - in other words, I read stuff like Game Change and Too Big To Fail before they become cable TV movies. :)

-Theres a book called "Dear Zoe" by Phillip Beard and i pretty much bawled through most of it. i thought it was good.
-The House of Night series by Pc Cast and Kristin Cast is good- kinda like twilight but less.. creepy; and its better. Actually the only similarity to twilight is vampires...

13 Reasons Why sounds good.

I LOVE THAT BOOK SO MUCH.

Delerium is good:) I'm half way!

i loooved that book. another one that was good by that author is "before i fall"

If you like sci-fi suspense, you might try Dean Koontz. Watchers is my favorite, by far. I had to quit reading Stephen King, somewhere along the way he decided he couldn't let people have a happy ending.

YAYY!! BOOKS!! I love books! :P

The Great Gatsby- It can get a little confusing but I absolutely loved it when I understood it thanks to Shmoop
13 Reasons Why- I loved this. I resonate very well with it as I can relate (if you want to know my story, PM me). It's the only book that made me cry
The Twilight series- Some of my favorite books. yes, Bella is very much a "Mary Sue" character but I love the story. I'm a teenage girl :P
Of course The Hunger Games trilogy. I love them :)
The House of Night books are really good (if you're into Vampires like me :P)
