Just read the Hunger Games, and then HAD to read Catching Fire. Now I am in suspense until the new one is released!
They are considered YA, I think, but are great reads. Also I've recently become a big fan of Tamora Pierce, who writes YA fantasy. And one other guy, Scott Westerfield, maybe?
Uglies is the title of one of his books. Science Fiction.
If you like gritty detective novels, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kathy Mallory books by Carol O'Connell. The main character is a police detective who is a functional sociopath.
