Thirteen Reasons Why [By Jay Asher]

Crime and Punishment is a fantastic work. Depends on what genre you're looking for, what level of intensity you can handle, and what you mean by good, but I recommend the Kite Runner and a Thousand Splendid Suns. Other good works are things by Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Bradbury. Read Orwell. Animal Farm an 1984 are classics for a good reason. Murakami. Did you know the phrase "life is a like a box of chocolates"? That comes from Murakami's Norwegian Wood. Dazai Osamu. Faulkner. Tolkien. I hesitate to put newer authors (Hosseini being the exception), but the Road was great. The Hunger Games, Divergent, and the Maze Runner are all overrated and, in my humble but accurate opinion, will never, ever qualify as classics. Read To Kill a Mockingbird, and after you've finished that, read Go Set a Watchman. Steven James's the Bowers Files are very good (even though he's a newer author), but won't be classic work. Hosseini will be classic work in my opinion.

Just read any book by Lois Duncan, for she is an amazing author!
I recommend you start with Killing Mr. Griffin, though.
Another series I would recommend is The Naturals series (i forget the author's name, sorry). It is a very good book with GREAT plot twists and such!

Depends what you're looking for. I for one, am a huge fan of fantasy books. But right now my favorite series is The Edge Chronicles.
Magonia is also a relatively new book and the author recently released the second novel in the series, but the content is very creative.
