Winnie-the-Pooh and The House on Pooh's Corner by A.A.Milne.
I know it may seem childish, but it really is a good read, and the pictures alongside (by E.H.Shephard) it are adorable. I used to read it when I was little, but now that I've gone back to it there are a lot of subtle adult ideas there too.

First off, I'm kinda proud of myself that I've read most of the books on this list...(*gigantic egotistical grin)
But books to recommend?
First off, this is an incredible book about teen struggles. Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. It's a real diary. And it's incredible.
A book that I received for Christmas and am loving, is The Roald Dahl Omnibus. It's a collection of his short stories; and they are not kiddie stuff like The Witches and such.
And a book that I'm surprised hasn't made this list yet, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Not a kiddie book, but incredibly well written. However, if you know that you are not able to handle *****, do not read this!
That's all that I'm going to say, 'cause I could go on forever!

Peter Pan In Scarlet I can't seem to remember the author at the moment. It's like a sequel to the very well known "Peter Pan" I haven't finished reading it yet, but I like it alot so far.

Definitely Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Vampires, romance, and a bit of a thriller. They're really good.

I went out and bought the Hunter's Blades Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore yesterday. It gets boring around here when you've read everything more than a million times.

'Night' - Elie Wiesel
'Uglies', 'Pretties' - Scott Westerfeld (and probably 'Specials', but I haven't read that yet)
'Life Expectancy' - Dean Koontz
'Losing It' - Lizzie Wilcock
Gackt, I can't remember the name of the book, but I can describe it...
An unlikely cohort of four meet on a roof as they're all about to kill themselves and they work together to turn their lives around. There's Maureen, with a disabled son, Martin, accused of having sex with a teenager, Jess, whose sister's run away, and JJ, whose band has fallen apart.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Hm... most of the books I was going to suggest were already on this list. I can't think of any others except Speak, and I'm not sure if I remember seeing it or not. Oh well.

I enjoy Dante Alighieri. Although I'll be old and gray before I spell his last name correctly. The Divine Comedy is a spectacular read. In addition to him, I would recommend anything by Stephen King or John Grisham. I know they are mainstream writers, but I love their work.

For those of you interested in science fiction, I highly suggest the Ender Wiggin series by Orson Scott Card.

I really enjoyed Good Greif by Lolly Winston. I liked it enough that I am going to send it to my mother so that she can enjoy it as well!
