At the moment I'm hooked on James Patterson's "Alex Cross" series (Along came a Spider, Kiss the Girls etc). Lots of unpredictable turns and twists yet easy to read.

A Place Called Here
Matter of Honor
Sophie's World
The Last Templar
Tenth Circle
Plain Truth
Sister's Keepers
Time Traveller's Wife

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

Fiction: "The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis;

Non-fiction: "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet;
"Watch Your Dreams" and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton;
"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck (warm, funny, and profound).

You have to be more specific! What are you looking for in a book? Junk read? Or intellectually stimulating? What genre? Also how old are you/phase of life are you in? All these things can greatly change the definition of "good".

I could spend hours answering this question so I'm just going to keep it short and simple and go with the book I just finished.

I really enjoyed "Time Traveler's Wife" as a lighter, more on the junk-side read. It's still pretty well written. Look it up on amazon.

If it's written by J.D Salinger then i suggest you read it.
