Does anyone know any good books to read?

I've never been big on reading because I always seem to pick the wrong book. (I don't like romance or horror.) My mother got me reading Janet Evanovich's series (One for the Money, Two for the Show, etc) I read through the whole series very quickly and thoroughly enjoyed them, but did not enjoy any of her other books.

Does anyone know any other books like hers that I'd enjoy reading??

    Oh we love Stephanie, grandma Mazur, Lulu and the whole gang in my house. I wish I could recommend something like those but they are pretty unique.

    It sounds like you might have enjoyed them because they are fast moving and funny, if that's a good guess on my part then try Piers Anthony. His Xanth series is fantasy, set in a world full of puns and magic. The books move very fast and have a lot of humor. The first is

    "A Spell For Chameleon"

    They aren't anything like Evanovich but maybe you might like them anyway.

    Well, I've never read any books by that lady, but I know of a few books that I love that you might like as well.

    - The Princess Bride, by William Goldman

    - The Once and Future King, by T.H. White

    - Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket

    - Uglies, Pretties, and Specials (three individual books), by Scott Westerfield, I think.

    Those are just a few of my favorites, the first two especially. Look them up, I'd really recommend them all. Hope this helps.

    Try reading Lemony Snickets Series Of Unfortunate Events, I think it's a really good story, it might be a bit scary but not really. It has i think 13 series. The first ones called 'The Bad Beginnig'. Hope you like it, Bye =D
