What are some great books to read?

**Alright, first of all, NOBODY suggest Twilight. I'm never going to read those books... ever. And please don't suggest any vampire story. I might read vampire novels later when it isn't so cliche anymore.**

So... I'm 16, but I don't like any of those girly romance novels. I like the action, mystery, sci-fi, comedy and horror. I like a higher reading level of books intended for a more mature audience, although I do like to read some teen novels. I can stand a little bit of romance in novels but not a whole ton of that sappy stuff *coughtwilightcough*. I might, keyword: might, read a series but most likely won't because I 1. don't have enough time to bother, or 2. just don't care... or the first one didn't interest me too much to make me want to read a second or third one.

So... what's your suggestion?
List both the title and author, if possible. If not, just the title is fine.
:) Thank you all for the suggestions. All of these sound amazing so far. I will look into all of these, and I might look into the series. (It's funny how you mentioned the uglies, because my friends and I call ourselves and other people U.G.L.Y.: unbelievably gorgeous little youngins. Haha.)
