Any suggestion for a good book?

I'm an avid reader and I really enjoy getting immersed in the world of a good book. Recently I've been on a reading spree. I hadn't read a book for quite some time and I got back to reading with Alexander Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo and Cervantes' Don Quixote. Now that I've finished them, I feel a void in my life. So can you people suggest me a great book (maybe your favorite book) that I can pick up next?

I like all kinds of books but I do enjoy historical novels with gripping narrative and tight plot, something like Ken Follet's The Pillars Of The Earth (1989). But otherwise I enjoy books of all genres.

@Shine10Mathew That's nice. Have you read Fault in our Stars? It's a good read.

I usually like historical texts, novels with grand narrative and sweeping storylines and I'm a big admirer of Russian Novelists like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Gogol.

If it was the only book from Dumas that you read, you can look for his other masterpiece, "The Three Musketeers". Many movies have been made from this book, but the book is better than any movie.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely give it a try. I hope it turns out to be as good as The Count of Monte Cristo.

Try The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Already read it and I must say I'll be re-reading it again very soon. Jay Gatsby sits right up there with Bruce Wayne in terms of mysterious millionaires.

@JohnRoberts No, but after finishing Monte Cristo I think I'll read The Three Musketeers too. I am slowly turning into a Dumas fan :)
