Default Good book reccomendations (trolls gtfo)

I wasn't sure if I should post it here in Chat or Entertainment, so I decided on Chat, since more people come here.

Anyway, I need some good book recommendations, but I don't really want very complicated books, I wanna read to have fun, not to have to go too deep in thought. I enjoy light reads, but it can be extensive.
I like science fiction books and romance books. And I also really like vampires.
On a side note, I read a review on Twilight saying that it sucked compared to other romantic vampire novels, but I really haven't found any good ones, so this is my main focus right now, any ideas?

Right now I have these in my list:
1984, Fahrenheit 451, Lord of the Flies, probably A Clockwork Orange (read a summary and it was pretty freaky, the Aversion Therapy freaked me out a bit, I guess).

But I'm looking right now for romantic vampire novels <_<... Any ideas?

If your answer is \"yes\", then that\'s all you need to know. Hit that shit. If your answer is \"no\", then leave it be.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven. Short, but good IMO. And its not all that religious despite you would assume it is because of the title.

The Vampire Chronicles by Anna Rice. I looked it up, it's 10 novels, and then there's The new Tales of the Vampire? So 12 novels so far?
Is it more of a lovecentric thing or is it more violence, or what can I expect from these?

If you like romantic books, and vampires, then the Twilight series I recommend to you.

The series includes

Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse, and
Breaking Dawn.

These aren't exactly "light" reads, but they were good nonetheless.

lol, already read them. I even stated it in my first post. This is why I want more.


EDIT: My definition of light is more along the lines of: If I can read it in one sitting, it's light enough. I read all the Twilight saga's books on one sitting, only taking breaks to go pee. Breaking Dawn had me take a lunch break, though.

The Dresden Files. Supernatural mystery series.
the NightWatch series. basic story line goes like this:
a couple thousand years ago, the forces of light and dark were fighting eachother (like always), and had pretty much brought the world to the brink of destruction with the war, so they signed a treaty to stop it. the treaty says that--for example--if a Light Magician helps someone using magic of a certain tier, then it allows a Dark Magician to hurt someone using magic of the same tier. the tetrology mainly focuses on the elaborate plans and traps set up by the leaders of the opposing sides to gain a definite advantage over the other side without openly breaking the treaty. once one side gains an advantage big enough to completely wipe out the other without much collateral damage, it's implied that one side will be completely eradicated. EXTREMELY FUCKING GOOD BOOKS. they're being written by a russian author and translated into numerous languages. there are also a couple of movies--NightWatch, and DayWatch--that have been made in russian, and dubbed into other languages. the 4th and last book are due out later this year.

not quick reading, but if you can read a book in one sitting it's too short.
