Time to read!

I love to read and I have for all my life (well it started when I was 4). It's a great past time and books can teach you many things. I went to Barnes and Noble today and I had no idea what I wanted to buy. I was walking around looking at books for about an hour and a half when I stumbled across The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I've heard it's a good book but I want to see for myself. The second one I bought is The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. I saw the movie and it was great. So I thought that I should read the book and compare it to the movie. I'm eager to get started on these two. :) I'll write what I think about them when I finish.
Are there any other books that you think are great reads?
