good books for a 17 yr. old female?

I always liked Agatha Christie, the Harry Potter Series, and Stephen King books in high school. Actually, I still do. Here's A Link To A List Of Stephen King's Written Works:

I would definitely recommend The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King if you haven't read it yet.

Here are some ideas:

- If you like things outside the box that make you think, try Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. The first book is The Eyre Affair (but you don't necessarily need to have read Jane Eyre to enjoy this book). I can't recommended these books enough! It takes place in parallel universe, with time travelling, book travelling, and even quite a bit of humor.

-There is a new series called Hallowmere by Tiffany Trent. The first book is out and is called something like "In the Serpent's Coils". It is rather gothic, in the vein of "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. You might want to check this out. It doesn't take place in the present like the Twilight series, but the atmosphere is somewhat similar in some ways.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

For outside the box, you might like:

"A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore

"Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman

"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk

"Threshold" by Caitlin R. Kiernan

Could you be more specific about what type and whose music you like? There's a really good chance that my idea of good music and yours, while both equally valid, are miles apart.

I enjoy James Patterson a lot. I probably starting reading him when I was 16 or 17. He's exciting and suspensful. Also Janet Evanovich is good.

Goose Girl-Enna Burning-River Secrets = By Shannnon Hale

I loved these books and they have a magic touch to them.

Once you read them you will understand the titles.

Uglies-Pretties-Specials-Extras = By Scott Westerfeld

awesome books waiting to borrow uglies from a friend...she's been hogging it since yesterday so i won't get it until monday but she's been reading it nonstop!!

I would recommend Charles Dickens. He is really talented, absolutely love his books!

Something outside the box.... "The bloody chamber" by Angela Carter. But this is really violent and dark. Its short stories, some are almost perverted, but it is really outside the box and makes you think! But see for yourself...
