Any of John Green's books. Their short, or at least seem short when I couldn't stop reading them. So they may not be more than a quick hit for you. But luckily, he has four to choose from. And on top of that, he already has his own page on that wiki-whats-it thing. Man, ever feel like you haven't done anything lately?

If you're still needing a book, I like Vampire Plagues by Sebastian Rook. They're published by Scholastic, so they're PG range. London 1850 is the first, and they're actually pretty decent for a young adult fiction.

If you like historical fiction, you need to look up Edward Rutherfurd, awesome books. He takes a city - London, Dublin, Moscow, New York etc, and spans their development by following the fortunes of several fictional families or characters through the centuries, using factual history. Highly readable.
Other authors I would recommend to anyone -
Tracy Chevalier
Terry Pratchett
Iain M Banks (amazing sci-fi)
China Mieville
Kazuo Ishiguro
Anchee Min

Kryptik Chaos I don't suppose you read Stepen King do you? Cause I read this really great book recently by him.....it's called "Under the Dome" It is really awesome work. Try it out some time. I actually used to read his books many years ago but I don't like them anymore. I might try the cat books. I have seen those around and wondered if they were good. Edward Rutherfurd sounds interesting too. I heard of a book called "The Winter Sea" by Susanna Kearsley. Does anyone know if that one is good? Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I appreciate it!

Don't know if this help since I'm terrible with ratings. Yet Conn Iggulden Rome is just awesome. Written to make you feel you where there. Then Ken Follet is also a great writer but he might be to rough if you like the pg but I don't know. Yet Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth is something special if one likes Medieval times.

I'm reading The Westminster Poisoner by Susanna Gregory at the moment, it's a murder-mystery set in Restoration London, apparently the fourth in a series but I haven't read any of the others. I'm enjoying it.

I'm enjoying it. I looked it up on Amazon and it has excellent reviews and looks very interesting. I love historical settings. So far, have you found it to be basically PG rated?

It is PG-rating, in the sense that there is no nasty languge or lurid sex scenes etc.. it does make mention of brothels and corpses - not in any lurid detail though, just as a fact of life in London at the time. I think the most salacious thing so far was a lady fell over and showed her lace bloomers!

Look up
Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children
Although I haven't myself read it I have heard great things. I believe it is a young adult book so it should be in the pg 13 range. It looks uber interesting IMHO. It's next on my buy list once I get some moola!

The last book series I was able to get into was the Resident Evil books, they put the movies to shame.
