Thanks guys! I shall add those to my list.

@devigonewild, I started reading The Hunger Games yesterday. I'm about 80 pages in, and I love it ( big surprise )! I also have Divergent now, so we'll get those yummy ones out of the way.

Poetry: Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickenson, e.e. cummings, the Odyssey (by Homer)

Satire: The Hitchhiker's Ultimate Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams - highly recommend!)

Typical Fantasy: The Belgariad (by David Eddings), LOTR, Patrick Rothfuss (can't believe that no one has recommended him yet)

Horror: H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Dracula (by Bram Stoker), Frankenstein (by Mary Shelley, unrevised edition)

Mystery: Sherlock Holmes (by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), Dan Brown

Realistic Fiction: The Fault in Our Stars (by John Green), Wendy Mass*, Sarah Dessen, Artichoke's Heart (by Suzanne Supplee)

Dystopian: Delirium trilogy (by Lauren Oliver), Fahrenheit 451 (by Rad Bradbury)

Sci-fi: Ender's Game (by Orson Scott Card), H.G. Wells, The Host (by Stephenie Meyer)

Humor: Xanth Xanth Xanth Xanth Xanth & Hitchhiker's

Fair warning - Xanth is outrageously sexist. I'd recommend skipping the first book and watching out for titles like...well, you'll know. His world's based off word puns - bleeding hearts, night mares (the book Night Mare is one of my favorites), pancake ice, lady fingers and lady finger plants... You name it, Xanth has it.

Oh, a bit of advice: read some Amazon reviews before reading Divergent. The negative ones, not the ones at the top that adolescents "like" because they shine the book in a good light.

Out of My Mind is also a great read (suggested by TinyJarStoredDreams). It's only that the slang is outdated (cool beans, way cool, super, dead meat), and the author...um, portrays adolescents as stupid and cruel. But it's a very touching story. It's about a precocious girl with cerebral palsy, meaning that she's unable to speak, so everyone assumes that she's...you know.

*such as: A Mango-Shaped Space, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, Every Soul a Star

Um, anything by Khaled Hosseini. He is such a wonderful storyteller. Personally loved his A Thousand Splendid Suns. The Kite Runner's really beautiful too, but I felt like ATSS was such - I can't even find a word for it. Currently reading his And the Mountains Echoed. So far: I love it.

Margaret Atwood's pretty good too. I think any of her works are good picks.

For YA, I'd say Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke & Bone series, Maggie Steifvater's The Scorpio Races series and the Raven Cycles series, Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, Libba Bray's The Diviners. And there's more but those are the ones on the top of my head (the ones that stuck out to me the most). For realistic YA, then anything by Sarah Dessen. She's like the only realistic-fic YA author I'd always (ALWAYS) read. My favorites: The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby.

Um, anything by Khaled Hosseini.

I read A Thousand Splendid Suns in a day and a half. Favorite of all of his works. And the Mountains Echoed isn't my favorite but his words are no less heart-imploding.

Hm, calculator says I suggested 78 books.....yay!

TLOD has 13 that I know of, and The Mortal Instruments actually has 6. The sixth book hasn't come out yet.

Cool, thanks guys!

Ender's Game. It was amazing, one of my favorite series (my all time favorite book is it's parallel novel Ender's Shadow).

Thanks @WritingWolf! I'll try to check that out sometime.

Anne McCaffrey: Dragonriders of Pern
Robert Silverburg: Lord Valentine's Castle
Kevin Hearne: Iron Druid Series
Jim Butcher: The Dresden Files

Cool, thanks @Aley!

The Hunger Games is my life and I'm so happy you started reading it! Welcome to the family young tribute
Divergent is also a big part of my life and welcome to the initiate world (happy you're reading it before the movie)
If you like those two as much as I did I highly reccomend anything by Cassandra Clare such as The Mortal Instruments series and The Infernal Devices. (They are both YA fantasy)
You have GOT to read The Fault In Our Stars by the Lord John Green! I mean, that's just an absolute MUST. Anything by him is heavenly.
Someone else reccomended The Host by Stephenie Meyer and I agree. I loved that book.
Well, the Harry Potter series obviously!
