I just finished The Help and Room. Also, Laura Lippman is a really great mystery writer (and I don't even really like mystery) but she is probably the best author I have ever read.
I can give you a link to my good reads if you are interested.
Ditto the suggestions of The Help and Life of Pi. Also, I really enjoyed "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." It's one of the best books I have ever read.
Have you read the Stieg Larsson books yet? If you haven't, I would highly recommend them. I am on the second one now. I may or may not have been up reading it at 5:30 this morning;)
Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter. Not your typical vampire crap story. Also, I don't know if it's anything like the ipad, but we get classics for free and those are always a good read.
Re: I need a good read
Life of Pi
Little Women
Night Over Water (Ken Follet)
