Depends on what interests you, Lately I have read true stories, the last one was called 'Paddle to the Artic' by Don Starkell He also wrote 'Paddle to the Amazon'. He's a guy from Winnepeg Manitoba that wanted to fulfill some dreams so he planned and set out to paddle to the artic and the from just below the Canadian Border to the end of the Amazon River. I retells his experiences during the trips. If you like to travel or do different things, reading this opened my eyes that it neveer hurts to try, just be ready for what is thrown at you. Another book is the Great Escape about POW's during WWII. The Germans built an escape proof camp and it's POW's were determined to prove them wrong. Good Luck

It Depends what time of books you like. If you like Fantasy for example: Eragon is a good book, and Terry Pratchett and so on and so on.
If you like crime and mystery Da Vinci Code is a good place to start, but if you like more of the classic stuff then you need to specify which genre of book you prefer. Douglas Adams - The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy is an awesome book for people of all preferences, so if you haven't read that yet you should do so immediately. Also other new good books are A Million little pieces, the known world, and the Richard Branson autobiography :)

Difficult, Russian, suprisingly funny = Brothers Karamozov or Master and Margarita
Paranoid sci-fi style = Ubik or Flow My Tears the Policeman Said
Forgotten American absurdist history = The Jerusalem Trilogy
A lot of fun, fantasy trilogy with bad *** talking polar bear, first book = The Golden Compass by Philiip Pullman
Everyone I've recommended Golden Compass to has blazed through it. The others I've added as long shots, because I don't know your taste. So one more, American west, dark humor = Blood Meridian

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman they are a set of three and are the most creative thought provoking books ever, they just might change your life lol. But really they're great, my all time fav.
The set goes The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. :]

I answered another question just like this one awhile ago, but I absolutely love the James Patterson books. I really enjoy the books with the character Alex Cross in them, but you should try all of them.
