But does anyone have any good books in mind?
I like pop fiction.
Anything by Kenneth Oppel has been sweet.
I just read the Hunger Games and I enjoyed that.
Alexander Dumas was sweet too.

maybe one of these

Firestarter or the Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. the first is a paranormal thriller, the second a midieval tale of betrayal and heroism
By the Rivers of Babylon by Nelson DeMille. a violent and political action thriller about a mass of hostages in hostile territory
A Time to Killl by John Grisham. a story about the trial of a man amidst racial disparity. similar to To Kill a Mockingbird

Song of fire and ice - George R R Martin
