OT: Book Suggestions?

I know I should really be doing homework or something else right now, but I wanted to put this out there before I forgot. If anyone has any good book suggestions, I'm much in need of a good one. I've put Othello (Shakespeare) down for quite awhile and I don't think I shall be resuming it any time soon.

Points to Consider:

Good characters
Plot that involves mostly action, adventure, suspense, thriller.
Possibly some romance, but not too much.
I don't like reading stuff with graphic sex, drugs, violence, language, etc. In other words, probably nothing worse than PG-13...
Something in the tradition of Alexandre Dumas (The Three Musketeers or The Count of Monte Cristo) would be nice.
I love the classics, but I also enjoy suspense-thrillers. ^_^

If you guys have any book suggestions, that would be muchly appreciated. I've been meaning to try to get my hands on a copy of George MacDonald's Phantasties, but haven't been able to. Which is rather unfortunate, if you ask me, but it's life.

Purpose Statement

Rating System

All stories that I post to this blog will have a rating before them. Most of what I write is somewhere around the PG rating with a distribution that would fit nicely under a Maxwell-Boltzmann curve.
For the pieces that I actually write (versus commentary), I shall be tagging them with a rating for easy searching.
G: Stories rated G are appropriate for almost all ages of children, teenagers and adults. They won't have any language past what one would hear in normal conversation or violence or adult themes.
PG: Stories rated PG will usually have mild language or fantasy violence. Nothing major and no character death within the actual story.
PG-13: Stories rated PG-13 will include one or more of the following: character death, more mature themes, possible language and sci-fi/fantasy violence. These will probably be linked off-site.
R: Though I don't foresee myself writing anything of the sort, this will be linked to somewhere off-site. That's mostly so that you won't have to read it if you don't want to.
