Q: I'm in the mood to read some good books. Does anybody have any recommendations (preferably from young adult or if not from there than not too boring and old lady like). Thanks!

The Shining - Stephen King. He's a great suspense (and fantasy) author. Anything by him is good.
I'd check out some Nicholas Sparks books as well. Especially recommended A Walk to Remember and the Notebook. They're both tearjerker romance stories.
Borrowed Light by Anna Fienberg is a great one. Her writing style is very eloquent, and it's full of many insightful passages. Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta is a great one for teens. It's studied in a lot of schools, but don't let that put you off as it's a wonderful book. Borrowed Light and Looking for Alibrandi may be difficult to find though as they're Aussie books.
Oh, and you MUST read The Virgin suicides by Jefferey Eugenides. A book will NEVER affect you as much as this one.
Happy reading! Drop one in my inbox if you ever get around to reading them and tell me what you think.
