Depends on your mood really.
If instant gratification is the need of the moment then Mills and Boons, Danielle Steel, Anne Rice, and Stephen King will pretty much do it.
Otherwise, I could recommend you Georgette Heyer and her romantic period pieces. Not only are they romantic, but are superbly written and her sense of period is unrivaled. She's like comfort food.
However, if you're in the mood for something a little more gritty, then go for James Frey "A million little pieces". Brilliantly written and brutally honest. Who cares if he made some stuff up? (Now thats an oxymoron.) Anyhoo, read it. Its actually pretty good.
Also, if you want some insight into today's political, economical and social canvas, read a compilation of essays written by Adruyati Roy. Its called, "The Algebra of Infinite Justice". It'll make you think.
Anyway, good luck and happy reading.

Jeffrey Archer, Caine & Abel. Wonderful sweeping story from the early to the late 20th century based around two guys, William Caine and Abel Rosnovsky. It has a followup called 'The Prodigal Daughter' about Abel's daughter who ends up in the office of... well, that would spoil it for you!
Devil's Alternative by Frederick Forsyth. Rock and a Hard Place by Aaron somebody about cutting his own arm off when he was trapped in a climbing accident.

Dumas is always an excellent read. I highly reccomend The Three Musketeers (as well as the sequels) and The Count of Monte Cristo. The Maltese Falcon is another favorite of mine.

I think you need to read 'cereal' boxes until you become better at spelling. I don't think 'shoul' is a word in the English language.
