Enchantress from the stars by Sylvia Engdahl is a really really good book and it makes you think about things (in a fun way). It's complicated to explain how it works but it's wonderful.
Graceling and Fire by Kristin Cashore. Both exhibit strong female leads and are very very good.
White Cat (Workers Series), Tithe, Valiant, Ironside (Modern Day Faerie's tale) all by Holly Black.
Violet Wings by Victoria Hanley. All about faeries in a different world interacting with humans. Seer and the Sword, Light of the Oracle, Healer's Keep also by Hanley are set in a more medieval setting. They are all amazing books.
I have others, but I'll leave it at that for now. X3
Its quite a long read and definitely has some adult content, but if that is not a problem, I highly recommend The Mists of Avalon. It is a really amazing take on the Autherian legends written from the view point of several of the prominent female characters. It really is a good read.
I liked The Mists of Avalon movie. I have the book, but I haven't read it yet!
For moving stories and books I would say To Kill A Mockingbird, The Giver, pretty much anything by Oscar Wilde, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar by Roald Dahl, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Les Miserables, maybe Only Time Will Tell and Hospice and Grief: Paul & Sylvia's Love Across the Veil. You've probably already read most of that stuff though!
