Hmm... Well i love all the Harry Potter books, and I liked Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. (I must admit, though, that I enjoyed the musical more.) I also enjoy Ann M. Martin's books (The Baby-sitters Club series). I might be getting a little old for them, but I still read them once in awhile, plus other books she's written.

I like novels and non-fiction but I don't think anyone mentioned collections of short stories. I'll name just a couple but there's an endless supply of them to read. Some writers specialize in short stories and many novelists write short stories as well. Stephen King has written some good ones but I don't recall the title of his collections.
Joyce Carrol Oats has written several collections.
TC boyle is a good short story writer. Also:
Molly Giles
Carol Bly
Grace Paley
Raymond Carver
The list goes on. Check them out!
