I don't know anything from YA, but these are definately not boring or old lady-ish.
Fight Club, The Beach, Lord of the Flies
I thought I'd give you some more psycologically deep, and slightly darker books than the other columnists.

I would go for something scary like Remember Me its about a girl who got pushed off a balcony and came back as a ghost and is sad because nobody came to her funeral because they all think she jumped off the balcony and she won't go into the light until she finds out who killed her. If you read it tell me if you liked it.

The Virgin Suicides- Jeffery Euginides
sisterhood of the traveling pants series
Angus, thongs and full frontal snogging(verry good and funny i highly reccomend)its a series there are like 6 or something its by -->louise rennison

Well, my first impulse is to tell you to listen to "The Good Book Song" from "A Mighty Wind" but that's probably too bad a joke for even ME to make. And that's saying something. I'll tell you what I read though:
-Cirque du Freak: Kind of low-level horror book, but it's got a great plot!
-Redwall: Medieval book... and mice are the main characters!
-Harry Potter: Who doesn't know what Harry Potter is?
-Eragon or Eldest: Really cool fantasy books written by a 19 year old. Get Eragon first, and then Eldest.
Yeah. Now for some good authors:
-Mark Twain
-Avi
-Kurt Vonnegut
-Ray Bradbury
-Michael Paolini
Hope I was of any assistance!
EDIT:: Oh! How could I forget? Animal Farm by George Orwell!!! Man, I love that book!

The Virgin Suicides- Jeffery Euginides
Running with Scissors- Augusten Burroughs
The Perks of Being a Wallflower. . . I don't know who wrote this, but it changed my life. It's an excellent read.

i would suggest if you are into scifi that you read the Lord of the Rings series. Yes they are hard books, i myself and still reading the first one, but they are very good! start with teh hobbit tho, it is easier reading than the other 3. but they are very very interesting and i do believe that you will enjoy them a whole lot! enjoy!

Riiiiight, I've recommended this one on this very column, but it rocks faces so I'll do it again: 'Across the Nightingale Floor' by Lian Hearn. Its the first in a trilogy called 'Tales of the Otori' which are all awesome. Enjoy.

well if you like fansty books you could check out "Eragon" and "Eldest" by istopher Paolini the "Chronicles Narnia".S. Lewis, the "Chronicles of Prydain" by Lloyd Alexander are all good ones
i hope this helps u out, let me know if it did

Gossip Girl, Red is for Rembrence(theres a series there not all called Red is for Rembrence) anyho there are tons of great books. You will love The Year My Life Went Down The Loo series they are hilarious.

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.

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I read that this summer and its such an amazing book.
And Then There Were None and Endless Night are good thrillers by Agatha Christie.
The Jeeves series by PG Wodehouse is super hilarious, but you have to understand British humor somewhat.
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger is really great, don't think its boring just because it's a classic, its a very intersting novel.
I recently read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, couldn't put it down.
Hope that helps!
