I don't want anything political though, I need something to escape from all that crap.

I am pretty picky about what I read though. Most of the stuff I see sitting out on the shelves at the store are pop culture dime store novel drivel that bores me.

What have you got?

Edit: My two favorite books are: A Farewell to Arms and Wuthering Heights

The Adoration of Jenna Fox. It's part of a series and I've only read this one. The first one is a first-person sci-fi genre story. The series turns into a dystopia rebellion series.
