Lots of good books that people have already said

Harry Potter, it's wonderful! The plot, suspense, everything is great about it!
Percy Jackson series. Love the humor in it!
Everlost. The second book is Everwild, but I'm not too sure if the third one is out. But it's great.
On the Run. It's a series, don't think a lot of you have read it. By Gordon Korman, kind of a simple easy book but the plot is really good.
Eragon if you're interested in dragons
Inkheart, interesting plot, it's a lot different from other books that you might have read.

And I agree, Twilight is weird. I don't see how anyone can go all crazy about a werewolf, a vampire, and Bella. No offense to any Twilight lovers.

If you like stories about animals, I can name a few.

Redwall series by Brian Jacques

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Warriors by Erin Hunter. (Actually it's a pen name; the books are written by 3 people.)

The Mistmantle Chronicles by M.I. McAllister.

Best books ever(and when I read it, as well as description):

Speak:Laurie Halse Anderson-This year-A girl in ninth grade, a little "sexual" if that bothers you; best book ever
Eleanors Story:Eleanor Ramrath Garner-6th grade-A girl growing up in Hitlers Germany;second favorite book
The Book Thief:Markus Zusak-This year-
The Resistance-see below(sequal, this is the second book)
The Declaration:Gemma Malley-7th grade- A book about a longevity pill that makes people live forever
Castaway:Iain Lawrence-6th grade- I don't remember to much accept that it was good, takes place in the industrial revolution of Britain, I think
The Lost Conspiracy:Francis Hardinge-Last year-About a girl named Hathin who uncovers a conspiracy about the "Lost,"
a group of people who can leave their bodies.
Ellin Hopkins books look good, too, somebody else mentioned them, however I haven't read any.
1st to Die:James Patterson-This year-Don't tell your parents you are reading it...Full of detailed rapes, sex and love, murder, and violence. But, great book. About a detective and her buds.

The Dark is Rising:Susan Cooper-this year-Utterly Terrible

I sugest the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is a great book that has fighting and romance. It's a great combination and I think that you should try it. Unless you already have, and then I'll feel stupid. But I didn't really like the last two books, so read them at your own risk. That's all I have to say about that.

Yeah, I'm like you too. When I was in 1st grade I had read every Harry Potter book that was out at the time. Now I can read adult books ( when I have the attention span for them). I can not find any new and good books, but one amazing series I have read is The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, or the Infernal Devices which is also by her. Good Luck!!

I echo the Riordan books. He is a great author and I'm sure you will love any of his books! Another one I suggest is The Alex Rider Series, by Anthony Horowitz. They have always been a favorite of mine, and were what got me into reading. Finally, I suggest The Ranger's Apprentice series, these books are truly great, written by John Flannagan.

Robert E Howard's Conan the Barbarian series

H.P. Lovecraft's mythos tales (Be warned these are some of the creepiest stories ever written)

Red Harvest ~ Dashiell Hammett

Bernard Cornwell's 'Sharpe's series'
