I need your book suggestions, I plan on reading 100 books in 2010, and I need some ideas. I am really into the Last Vampire series, and (gasp) Twilight. I am also into My Sisters Keeper, Harry Potter, umm...Lisa Gardner and crime books. I also do not mind Non-fiction, so if you have any suggestions that are similar to these books or totally different, let me know!

Anything by Jostein Gaarder... particularly The Solitaire Mystery. One of my favourite books of all time!
Also, have you read the Eragon series? It's quite good. |

My co-worker just let me borrow the first Eragon book. I've never actually heard much about it, so I'm glad to see that someone I know likes it xD.

There was actually an Eragon movie (the first book in the series; it's a trilogy). Did you guys (America) get the movie? Or was it only a southern hemisphere thing? xD

I do think we had the movie here, because my co-worker that let me borrow the book mentioned the movie as well. Is it called Eragon too?

I thought it was an American movie. And I seem to remember it not getting very good reviews here. :P

If you like crime books, have you read The Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson? There are currently 9 out and they're one of my favorite series. They're ordered by number: 1st to Die, 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, 4th of July, The 5th Horseman, The 6th Target, 7th Heaven, The 8th Confession, and The 9th Judgement.
If you like murder mystery books, the "Prey" series by John Sandford is also very good. There are..er..20 (?) in that series. You can see all the titles at the authors website here. The author of My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult, has a lot of great books. Some of my other favorites are Handle with Care, Nineteen Minutes, and Keeping Faith. |

I second "Hearts in Atlantis" by Stephen King. It's one of his good, not-as-creepy ones, but it's still weird.
