Haven't been to the library in years, I should get back to doing so and get the mind lost in a novel, without renting it, to read the whole thing, then return home.

AG,
Have you read The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul or Last Chance to See also by Douglas Adams?
Some recommendations:
Anything by Bill Brysen,
Inspector Morse - Colin Dexter
Inspector Banks - Peter Robinson
No. One Ladies Detective Agency series and Portuguese Irregular Verbs series by Alexander McCall Smith.
Read it, saw the movie, and acted out the court room scenes (debate team style) in front of maybe 1/3 of the school including faculty. But that was junior year of high school, 3 years ago, so even with all of that I still didn't pay attention.

If you don't want to read it again, you know where you can turn - to everyone's best friend in high school. SparkNotes: To Kill a Mockingbird
Odyssey and Iliad, both are fantastic, you can really see why these books have continued to be read for 1000's of years.
I'm sorry I can't say which translation I suggest the most, but they truly are great books.
I am also a Fan of Clive Cussler,- Dirk Pitt Novels, don't like his recent sell outs with countless co-authors, but the Mediterranean Caper, is a very fast read, and will give you the feel if you want to start from his first and move through the 16-18 book series thus far.
Christoper Pike, made a series "The Last Vampire" it was a Teen series that was actually one of my favourite series when I was 14, I must have read them 3 or 4 times.
