The Empire trilogy by Raymond Feist & Janny Wursts starting with 'Daughter of the Empire' are very good.
All Jane Austin books
(Also Joan Aiken, a modern author, copies Jane Austins' style & writes about characters from Austins' books. I am reading 'Jane Fairfax' at the moment.)
Brave New World (Aldus Huckley) & 1984 (George Orwell) are good reads.
All Issac Aismov, John Grisham, Anne McCaffery, Harry Potter Series are worth reading.
Jean Auel 'Clan of the Cave Bear' series. Currently 5 books have been published out of a projected 7. (Though book 3 onwards has small inserts of sex which serve little purpose, the story is very good and she researches her books well. She has actually learnt how to use herbs & flint knap etc & spent 10 years researching book 5 to 7...)
The 'A boy called it' series are worth a read but very very sad. I cried though all 4 books (The fourth book outlined his views on life & how to deal with problems, very uplifting, I can't remember the title)
Thats all I can think about at the minute.
