I'll definitely give some of these a try, I love reading. I'm reading The Inheritors by William Golding, it's about a tribe of Neanderthal who struggle to come to terms with humans appearing.

Mainly in to non-fiction shit. If you're into space and shit try Cosmos by Carl Sagan, interesting stuff.

Back when I used to be a book worm I read about 3/4ths of the books Brian Jacques wrote. I found them extremely entertaining.
Here's the list of the books: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall#Books

Percy Jackson and the Olympians  - awesome fiction novel cause I just LOVE Greek Mythology

Heroes Of Olympus - the sequel series to Percy Jackson still haven't read the last book because I don't wanna end it so soon :3

Artemis Fowl - still reading the series but love it so far.

The Kane Chronicles - not as good as Percy Jackson but good novel.

That's about it. (yeah I love Fiction Novels)

To Kill a Mockingbird. A novel about a black man being racistly accused of raping a white woman, really moving and makes you consider all the prejudice that went/goes on.
