Ok, so, my faaaaaavorite used book store is going out of business. :’(

They are having a huge going out of business sale starting this week, and I’d like to use the opportunity to buy books that I wouldn’t have considered buying before, in a variety of different genres.

The genres I’m looking for include (but are not limited to):
Regular Fiction
Comedy
Historical Fiction
Classics
Suspense / Horror
Fantasy
Etc…

Please name your favorite authors, the genre he or she writes in, and a few of their best books (in your opinion). The only restrictions I have are:

A. No science fiction. None.
B. No cheesy romance (a la Nicholas Sparks.) I like romance as long as it is not the main story line of the book.
C. I’m not really looking for the James Patterson-type “thriller”… I went through a phase of those and have grown a little tired of them.

Thank you all so much!
I’m 25 and enjoy books that are aimed towards adults.

My friend is asking me for 3 titles of novels that I want for my birthday.. But I don’t really know what to choose!

Anyone have any recommendations? (Feel free to name more than 3!)

I don’t really want any classics though.

I love romance and science fiction/fantasy. But they don’t necessarily have to be only in those genres.

Thanks!

Okay.. Seriously, no Twilight or Gossip Girl or ANYTHING along those lines.
