I just read A Dog's Life by Peter Mayle and loved it. If you hate dogs, though, it is not the book for you.
Another great one I have to recommend is Because of Wynn Dixie. It is a kid's book, but I think everyone should read it atleast once. It is sort of like Charlotte's Web or Pollyanna. A kid and an animal help to change a town for the better.
I also highly recommend The Blue Bottle Club by Penelope Stokes.

I just started Helen Fielding's _Olivia Joules and the Overactive Immagination_ (I don't know if that's how the last name is spelled because I don't have it in front of me). It's wonderful and fun summer reading. Fielding wrote _Bridget Jones_ which I loved and this is really similar but doesn't fall in the trap of being too much like her other books.
Also try checking out some classics like Jane Austen or Dickens. I just finished _Animal Farm_ which is nice and short but really good! I'm also working on Louise Erdrich's _Love Medicine_ which is part of a series but I'm reading it out of order and it's really really god too!

I second "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. It's sci-fi, but even people who don't like sci-fi find this to be a pretty special book.
"The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver is a good "girls" book. I say that because it's written in narrative from the point of view of the daughters in the story.
Non-fiction? "Freakonomics" is a quick read, but really interesting. For something a bit more in-depth, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond - it deserved and won the Pulitzer.

A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park is an amazing read. It's easy to follow and enjoyable. It grabs your attention and holds it the whole way through. This book is perfect for people who dream of travel and adventure, and are open to learn new things. It's my favorite book ever.
Journey with a young Korean orphan in the twelfth-century as he finds dreams, adventure, and maybe even...a family.
