What is a really good book to read?

I want to read something extremely good. I mean something I can't put down. So I want you to tell me the best book ever (please?) But keep in mind that I'm between the ages of 18-25, I'm not looking for a story with a character that not in that age range ( a little older is ok with me though.).

So, if you have any great ideas for me, please let me know.

Thanks!

    Fire by Kristin Cashore. It's a teen book, but it's very well written, and has more to it than the average teen book does. It's also fantasy, so it very much depends on what you like to read here.

    The Vast Fields of Ordinary by Nick Burd is another outstandingly written teen book. This one is reality based, but it's about a gay teen, so again, you ahve to be okay with that.

    As for the person who read "The Lovely Bones" and said it was a "Really Good Book" Please, do not listen to them. That book was worse than Twilight. The writing was rubbish, the plot was a fail, and the ending was hopeless. Most of the book had nothing to do with what the reader wants to know, or cares to know, and it feels like it's going on forever and ever. But the ending.... it's just... bad. Don't ever pick it up.

    I recently read "Water for elephants" by Sara Gruen and it very good. I loved it. And I've heard it's being produced into a movie. With Sean Penn ad Robert Pattinson. I already know that with some good direction and an exceptional script Penn will exceed my expectations. But I'm worried Rob will ruin it. Now I'm just babbling, but to get back to the point:READ THIS BOOK!
