Hunger Games which I currently reading
The Game of Thrones series is a great one to read, but only if you're 15/16+ because it's very mature in a way that still creeps me out a little now!
The Hunger Games - the film is out and you've probably already heard of it, but if not then that's a good series.
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman is one I've heard a lot of good things about.
And the Discworld series - you've probably already heard of that too but I'll still mention it anyway. 8)
