You can start in a Book like Romans, and do a chapter a day, and when done with Romans, move on to 1 Corinthians, and so on. The website can help explain anything that you might not understand.
Nothing you can read will make you stronger in Jesus than the Bible :)

Also Benedict Groeschel is good if you are a RC. I've read Arise from Darkness, and A Still, Small Voice.
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.
It would be well if everyone here read this classic by the former athiest
I've heard good things from Fire Proof. It's more about marital issues, but it's still a good one.
I love the Love Comes Softly Hallmark movie series, but the books might be better.
Definitely reading the Bible itself will support you academically, and emotionally through college.

If you will be attending a secular college, the DVD “Lies in the Textbooks” by Kent Hovind is an absolute must have! You can watch it or download it for free here:
http://www.drdino.com/media-categories.p… I also highly recommend Dinosaurs and the Bible from that site as well as the rest of the seminar series and the college series. Gird yourself up, girl!
I have a 19 year-old daughter, and some of her favorite Christian fiction (that she enjoyed enough to hold onto) are:
When Dreams Come True by Eric and Leslie Ludy
Solemn Oath by Hannah Alexander
The entire Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oke
http://www.amazon.com/Love-Comes-Softly-…
Some of her favorite non-fiction have been:
Prisoners of Hope by Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer
Hearts of Fire, The Voice of the Martyrs
Jesus Freaks and Jesus Freaks Vol. 2 by DC Talk
The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel
Jesus: The Great Debate by Grant R. Jeffrey
As far as Bible reading, I recommend doing a really deep study of the book of John and following all of the cross-references from John around into both the Old and New Testaments, making note of what you learn as you go. It will really strengthen your faith.
God bless you with college success!

Ooh, ooh! How about "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins?
╔═══════════════════════════════════
║In the end, all actions are justified.
║No matter how heinous, there is always a reason
║for all that happens. And to feel anger over such things
║is as logical as being mad that apples fall to earth.
║I sought to understand everything...
║and even still, I've got a long way to go.

YES! Somebody brought up the God Delusion!
I personally love to read the Necrenomicon, great book about stuff.
I wish all religion ceased to exist. It just creates problems in a society. Look at those Muslim extremists blowin' $h1t up and those Christians who had their crusades in Jerusalem and their missionaries in America. I mean, if religion had never come to the minds of men, then those 6 million jews wouldn't have been massacred!
To answer your question:
Can't you just type in 'Christianity' or 'religion' on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles or something else? It would have taken you a significantly less amount of time.
