Here's the list so far. If you have anything to recommend then post it here.
Green Rider
First Rider's Call
Cry of Icemark by Stuart Hill
The Harry Potter books probably don't need to be recommended for people to read them

I really loved 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'. I can't remember who wrote it. But it was simply beautiful. Though, it was hard to read at first. The people talked funny...

I need your love to get up from my knees;
I can't seem to see the forest for the trees. House of Leaves is a good one. Strange, but interesting. It's been the only thing that's held my attention recently. It's er-something fiction (no, not "erotic"), which means it's got a strange set-up. It's got upside-down pages, pages with single words in it, things like that. Some sections are completely missing.
It follows two different storylines.
Zampano is this old guy who dies. He leaves behind this manuscript for a book he was writing. It's a documentary about this movie called The Navidson Record, but this movie doesn't exist.
Johnny Truant is a friend of someone who lives in the building Zampano lived in. He takes the scraps of paper and envelopes and anything that has this manuscript on it back to his apartment and begins piecing it together. His story is told through footnotes to The Navidson Record. As he's piecing together this manuscript, he gets more and more paranoid, but he can't stop working on it.
The Navidson Record itself is a documentary about this house on 34 (I think) Ash Tree Lane. The Navidsons (Will, Karen, and their children Chad and Daisy) moved into it. Will (called Navy in the book) is a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, and he sets up cmaeras throughout the house to capture how his family lives.
One day, a door appears out of no where and gets longer and shorter every time it is opened. Navy starts taking measurements of the house and discovers that it's half an inch larger on the inside than the outside.
Then the closet in the living room disappears, replaced by a black void, which they later discover to be a long black hallway. The labyrinth shifts and grows and shrinks depending on the person's attitude.
I won't give away any more. It's a real good book. A bit confusing to look at if someone who wasn't in the middle looked at it, but when you're the one doing the reading, it makes sense.
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
Wow. On the author's website they have audio of the characters reading them. O__O This is really neat. As I wait in my silent misery,
All I'm asking is please, forgive me?

^I'll have to check some of those out! Oh, I have another book (well really it's more of a series) It's called Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. It is told from the POV (point of veiw) of nine year old Cassie Logan. Don't be fooled, just because the narrators young doesn't mean it's for that age group. It's about an African American family living in the 1930s. There are two books after that, and a prequel. The books are by Mildred D. Taylor.

1 gardens of the moon
2 deadhouse gates
3 memories of ice
4 house of chains
5 midnight tides
6 Bonehunters

10 The crippled god
i cant remember the names of 7 and 9 but its a great series.
it is a liitle difficult to follow since they dont esplain much about the workings of the book, but it does include maps a dramatis personae (tells you who the characters are) and a glossary. If anyone needs help about it, just pm me.
