The Giver is great. I enjoyed it much more than many of the more depressing novels mentioned in here (sad books just aren't my thing - I just don't enjoy them).

I'm more of a Fantasy guy in general, though. The Wheel of Time series, the Sword of Truth series, the A Song of Ice and Fire series and all of the Shanara series are among my favorites (and I'm awaiting sequels of all of them).
