I've been re-reading books lately cos I can't find any good books, I read a lot, I've read books by Tamora Peirce, J.K Rowling, Terry Pratchett, James Patterson, Dan Brown, John Grisham, and others and really liked them, but it gets boring after you read the same books over and over, I don't like Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and yes I've read two of them, and no I refuse to waste another minute on any of her books.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions(:

There may be some repeats here in my post, but here goes -
Dean Koontz - False Memory is my favorite of his
Tami Hoag - Several good books
Dan Millman - Way of the Peaceful Warrior & The Journey of Socrates
Alice Sebold - The Lovely Bones
Keith Ablow - The Architect
Gregg Braden - Divine Matrix & The God Code
Alexandre Dumas - The Count of Monte Cristo
Tim Weiner - Legacy of Ashes
Greg Mortenson - Three Cups of Tea
Dave Pelzer - Child Called It
Christopher Knight - The Hiram Key
Jodi Picoult - Several good books
Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird
Deepak Chopra - Several good books
I could keep going, but I'm not sure what your favorite genre is.

Dave Pelzer, Waris Dirie if you like true stories.
And I'll strongly recommend you to read "Tuesdays with Morrie"
If you like thrillers more I would suggest Dean R Koontz, Stephen King (especially "It") and Michael Connely.
It's really hard to suggest books to a person you don't know :-)
Take Care and good luck on finding new books to read!

I've noticed a couple of people have already mentioned Dean Koontz. He is my favorite so I, too, will suggest reading some of his. I think my favorite is Midnight.
I would also suggest Tami Hoag if you haven't read any of her books. I think you'd like her books based on the authors you listed (specifically James Patterson, I got into Tami Hoag around the same time as I started reading his books). I liked Still Waters and there is a two book series the first is Night Sins and the second is Guilty As Sin I believe. In all honesty, I've liked all of her books I've read.
Have you read Catherine Coulter's FBI Series? If not I recommend those. The first book is called The Cove and the second is The Maze. I have read the first four of them and liked them all.
