There are a lot of good ones out there. The best one I've found was King Fortis the Brave by LaMontagne and Snyder. It's about a pair of twins that are pulled into a magical land where they find themselves caught in the middle of a battle for control of the realm. The boy twin, Rodney, is mistaken for King Fortis, an Arthur-like figure that is to someday return in the time of the land's greatest need. It's really a great book full of humor and adventure. I recommend it to my students all the time and have had students that really hate to read come back and tell me how much they love it.

Currently reading At Risk by Stella Rimington former head of Britain's MI5. Synopsis from back of the book:
"A terrorist is set to strike at the heart of Britain. And to make matters worse it;s an "invisible"-- someone traveling under a British passport. Virtually impossible to find before it's too late. The job falls to Liz Carlyle, the most resourceful counterteror agent in British intelligence. Tracking down this invisible is a challenge like none she has faced before. It will require all her hard-won experience, to say nothing of her intelligence and courage. Drawing on her own years as Britain's highest-ranking spy, Stella Rimington gives us a story that is smat, tautly drawn, and suspenseful from first to last."

Of course the Bible. I just finished reading Nightime Is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark. That was really good. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is a good book for people of all ages really.
