Put down any book that is big that will last me at least for a week or two (I read an entire series in 1 week before [7 books all about 200-300 pages]). Write down the author and what the book is about please no horror stories.
 
the biography of alexander hamilton by ron chernow, really really good (im not normally a biography person) and really long
also i know it isnt that long but the razors edge, it is a combination of the great gatsby and sidartha
 
George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. There are currently four books, with a fifth due in September. You will have plenty to read. These are fantasy/adventure books and are one of the best collections to come out since Tolkein.

If you're not into fantasy, try reading James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux mysteries. The most recent is Swan Peak, but there are several in this line. My favorites were Tin Roof Blowdown, Pegasus Descending, and Black Cherry Blues.

For a single volume, try Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana or A Song for Arbonne (both fantasy). You might also like Jodi Picoult or, better yet, Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees and Pigs in Heaven. It depends on what type of book you like.

A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel was a great, modern memoir that was hilarious in parts.
 
Well you can simply try any of the Halo books (they are nerdy, but VERY good) Obviously Harry Potters. Velocity by Dean Koontz (Drama about a bartender who gets mixed up with a psychopath that toys with him.) Also look up more books form Dean Koontz such as the Husband where criminals kidnap a man's wife and ask for a one million dollar ransom.
 
Bernard Heuvelmans
"In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents" (1968)

645 pages by a Belgian zoologist chronicling sightings in the worlds oceans of sea-serpents, together with an attempted taxonomy of the animals observed.

Took this to sea with me. Excellent reading.
 
Clearly if you haven't read the Twilight books, they are good. There's also Sarah Dessen Books. Tamora Pierce rights really good books and they are also very lengthy. Wicked is a very big book. The Host is a big book and its Amazing! It all depends on your type of book, what genre you like the most, but I read like crazy! I can finish a book of 200 pages in 2 days. My parents get very frustrated because I spend around $50 dollars at the bookstore every time I go. Just walk around your Bookstore and you will find one you like. To me its just walking around and a book will jump to me. Check out Melissa Marr, Ellen Hopkins and Holly Black they are all very good writers.
 
Running With Scissors was awesome. A memoir of Augusten Burrough's very screwed up childhood.

The Bell Jar- Sylvia Plath - A brilliant young girl slowly cracks up

Little Children - Tom Perrota - An unhappy man and woman have an affair one summer amidst crazy problems in their town
 
My friends all recommended me to read "The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Berinstein" or something like that, they said it was really interesting, so idk i guess that you could check that out...
