I don't think that The Scarlet Letter belongs on this list. The book sucks.

[Lifes.Lover]

The Green Rider series. 3 long books, but well worth the read if interested in fantasy/historical other world.

Not sure who would like it, and I don't remember the genre, but back in 7th or 8th grade I had to read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I'm pretty sure I liked it. It was rather interesting and not how I thought it'd be. Had a slightly creepy feel at times, but I guess that was because of it's oddness and the setting I read it in. Anyway, that's my recommendation.

I recommend Macbeth, the classic by Shakespeare that I just finished reading. What an amazing play.

Also, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. I saw the musical, then just had to read the book. It's an amazing example of a fantasy world much akin to those in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Also amazing.

And finally, The Hours, by Michael Cunningham. I'm not sure which genre' it would go under (I suppose just realistic literature), but it was also amazing. Afterwards, I found myself immediately going to read more about Virginia Wolf.
