Map of Bones by James Rollins (It's actually part of a series). If you're into Da Vinci code then you will like this book too.

Already said but I agree-
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand) Anything by S.E. Hinton Younger people- anything by Judy Blume The Princess Bride (William Goldman) (Not life altering-just fun!) The Bible (God) |

Wind Done Gone (Can't remember the Author)
The Five Love Languages by Dr. Robert Chapman (even if you're not in a relationship, it's great reading, but there are others under that umbrella that are great) I second "The Invisible Man" Tar Baby by Toni Morrison Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison |
