Good Books?

Hey guys, I really need some advice on some good books to read... I like fantasy type books and...a variety of others.
Some books I've really enjoyed:

The Da Vinci Code
Angels and Demons
A Boy Called It (and the sequels)
The Death Gate Series
Memoirs of a Geisha
Harry Potter Series

So... Any ideas?!!

"A boy called it" ?!........that book ripped me apart......
If you want to read some books that are horribly beautiful and an intense read ,any Dennis Cooper books are good...but my favorite is "Frisky"
oh, and a book I just finished that I absolutely L-O-V-E-D is "HAPPINESS" by Will Ferguson, it is about a self help book that actually works. It is a comic satire about how wrong the world would be if everyone was content and happy.........it is awesome.

thanks Goose, i'll have to look that up.

and yea, i like reading/watching movies about things such as a boy called it because it reminds me of what a good life i do have and how good parents were to me and such. Real life stories really get to me and make me want to reach out to people and help them in whatever way i can, i'm not sure where i'm going with this other than reading stories like that keep reality closer.

A really good book i read once was "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime" It was a great read, and it is so different because it is written in an autistic kids point of view. It was also funny, and moving at the same time.

' the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime ' is an excellent book, have a look at ' lullaby ' by Chuck Palahniuk for a fantasy in the real world-ish kinda thing. ' The Book Of Lost Things ' by john connolly is a kindof adult fairy tale aswell
