Stoneheart ( never finished it, read like 10 pages then lost it)

City of The Sun (fiction, but can happen in reality. its a thriller/drama/....thingy

The chronicles of narnia

Eragon

ummmm....im thinking
 
Definitely Catch-22. That's another one of my favorites.

Also try Cloud Atlas. It starts out as a tough read because it makes no sense and drags for a little, but it's supposed to. It gets really good.
