The Cat Who... Books are fun to read and there is a cookbook out that is fun to read and has great recipes in it. Any of the books of the Pendragon cycle by Stephen Lawhead (I would recommend starting at the beginning though it can get confusing skipping around). Any books on King Arthur or the Arthurian Legend.

The Crimson Petal and the White - Michael Faber
An Instance of the Fingerpost - Iain Pears
The Baroque Cycle - Neal Stephenson
(A trilogy, heavy going, but infinitely worth sticking with: Quicksilver, The Confusion, The System of the World)

Read Paul Auster a great novellist. I like the Book of Illusions and Leviathan. Good to start you off and get you hooked. For a bit of a philosophical read you must buy 'Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance' by Robert M Pirsig.

Micheal Connelly, The Poet and real good read and then the follow on to that The Narrows
The Poet is a book that has more twists and turn then a roller coaster, and The Narrows is just as good

I really enjoyed THE LIFE OF PI. It's an adventure story, not something I would normally go for but I was pleasantly surprised. Sorry I'm awful at remembering authors.
SOPHIE'S WORLD is a good choice if you're in a philosophical mood. Here I CAN remember the author - Jostein Gaardner.

I really enjoyed "Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruis Zafon, it's a mystery set in Madrid.
I also enjoyed "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire
A good biography is "Behind Enemy Lines" by Marthe Cohn, she was a French/Jewish spy during WWII and is alive today (86 years old) living in California. She still gives speeches about her life during the war. Very interesting woman!
I don't know your age but if you're young "Wicked" may not be for you. Hope this helps!
