Nekee, are there any books you have read that were great? Are any of them books you would like to re-read? You could use those.

You could browse books that have won all sorts of awards here:

If you are into sci-fi, looking at the Hugo and Nebula awards will bring up tons of books. Hmm, I just saw American Gods by Gaiman won a Hugo, Nebula, and a Bram Stoker's award. That seems right up my alley, if I didn't have two dozen other books I already bought and want to read.

Of course, just because a book won an award doesn't mean it will be interesting, fun, or even worth reading. You would still have to read the summary of the book and do some research to see if you might like it.
