1. The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien
2. Eve & Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate
Alright, first of all, I'm apologizing for not liking Lord of the Rings. I'm sure it was good in your world. Unfortunately, I must regretfully announce that my world has an excess of homework and a lack of time, so therefore Lord of the Rings does not exist where I live. I'll try again during the summer. Second of all, holy-shit-that-book-is-good! I just finished Eve and Adam and, despite the god-awful cliche-sounding name, it's not actually that bad. Also, to add to the not-cliche-ness, the characters Adam and Eve don't end up as a couple. Thank god. The story actually has a really cool plot that's rather less non-romantic and more awesome sci-fi.
So, the book follows our protagonist Eve Spiker, the daughter of infamous millionaire scientist Terra Spiker. Right at the beginning, when Eve is hit by a car, she is completely smashed up and all but loses a leg. However, once in the hospital, she is rushed to Spiker Biopharms, the giant lab building where her mother works.
There, she meets the rebellious boxer Solo, saves her best friend's boyfriend from being beaten up by drug dealers, and sets out on a project to "play God" by creating a simulated human via incredible science and technology. In the midst of this, she inadvertently stumbles upon secrets about her criminal mother that disturb and dumbfound even her.
Read it; it's cool. There's some cussing and a lot of sexual references, but nothing horrible. Also, there's some really nasty descriptions of deformed animals, but I think you all can handle it.
