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.

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.
