Title: Excession
Age: Adult
Awesomeness rating: To quantify the awesomeness of this book on a normal awesomeness scale would simply break the scale and leave us all dead.
Reason: Iain M. Banks, the greatest Sci-fi author to ever grace this planet wrote it. That's why. You wanna fight about it?

This was hard to choose, but here you go.
Title: Peeps
Age group: Teen-Young Adult
Awesomeness rating: 97.5
Reason: It has a very interesting take on vampirism. Yes, it is a vampire book, however, the vampires are BADASS! According to Peeps, vampirism is caused by a parasite(which is where the title comes from; Peeps is a slang term for vamps, meaning "Parasite Positive&quot that puts your muscles and instincts into overdrive. It causes you to hate everything about your past life and want to destroy it. It's punctuated with action, humor, romance, and of course, every other chapter includes a dossier of some disgusting parasite(the main character is Cal, who was a biology major before he became a peep, then the Watch taught him about parasites so he knows about parasites and whatnot). He goes undercover as a regular human to track down and destroy Peeps using memoirs from their life(since they hate everything they used to love, that's their only weakness), but in order to find their weakness, he pretty much has to find out everything about their life.
It's pretty awesome, and spawned a less-awesome but still-cool sequel, The Last Days.

Title: Dante's Divine Comedy
Age: Adults
Awesomeness: 98
Reason: Well it's not a book but an epic poem and it is a really hard read but the way Dante Alighieri explains [iInferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso] makes for a great read although a very difficult one
