Hunger Games.

I second the Hunger Games. The story is good, and it seems to repeat a lot of the same vocabulary.  Now if I can get past the hump where it takes me forever to mine a couple pages worth of vocab...
There's also *cough*Twilight*cough*.  If you're a bit of a masochist, it's an entertaining series of books, and the vocab should be pretty simple. She just basically repeats how Edward is a 'marble Adonis' and how sparkly and dreamy he is. Simple!
Aoi Tori Bunko and Tsubasa Bunko also have a collection of English-language books. You could try Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, the Secret Garden, or Alice in Wonderland. Those books also have furigana if that helps at all.

I ALWAYS wanted to read Sex and the City in Japanese. Haha .

That's a book?

Originally, yes, though the book that inspired the TV series isn't even the main link in wikipedia, nor on the first few pages of an amazon search... there is still some record that it's the original work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_th … %28book%29

^ Yeah me too. When I read it in English, I used to write down quotes from the book. Will do that in Japanese too.

I think I'm starting to prefer it! If you lead with your finger, just remember to drag your finger along (or skip/bounce your finger for even faster reading with a little double hop at the end to finisht the line) the right side of the text. I learned when I was showing a line I was unsure about to someone that apparently the Japanese point to a sentence or word in tategaki from the right side of the line it's in
