I recommend anything by James Patterson. He's my favorite author. His books are suspensful and real page turners.

It depends on what you are into. Below are just a few books by some of the authors I read regularly.
Romance/Paranormal Romance/Gothic Romance:
Christine Feehan~Dark Series, The Scarletti Curse, Fantasy(anthology with Sabrina Jeffries, Emma Holly, & Elda Minger)
Angela Knight~Master of the Moon, Master of Wolves, Bite(anthology with Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, MaryJanice Dickinson, & Vickie Taylor)
Ronda Thompson~The Wild Wulfs of London Series
Horror:
Edward Lee~Flesh Gothic*High sexual content, violence, and very strong language
Fantasy:
Barb & J.C Hendee~Dhampir Collection
David & Leigh Eddings~The Belgariad(5 book series), The Mallorean(5 book series), Belgarath the Sorcerer, Polgara the Sorceress, The Rivan Codex, The Elenium(3 book series), The Tamuli(3 book series), The Redemption of Althalus, Regina's Song.

Here are a couple of possibilities...
Thriller - "Relic" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It's a horror/thriller about (without giving too much away) a series of murders in a museum. It's also the first book in a series.
Dark Fantasy - "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman - an ordinary man gets pulled into a dark fantastic world under London.
Fantasy - "His Majesty's Dragon" by Naomi Novik - Napoleonic war story where each country has an air force made up of dragons. Really good read.
Humor - "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Nail Gaiman - hysterical book about the Apocalypse. Really.
Non-Fiction - "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston - all about the Ebola virus. Reads like a thriller, but it's a true story.
Science Fiction - "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson - classic cyberpunk.

Tom Clancy: The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, his entire Op-Center Series, really everything he's written.
Mary Higgins Clark: the whole collection, which has many different stories, all in some sense mysteries.
John Grisham: Famous for The Firm, he has yet to write a book I didn't love.
Tony Hillerman: Navajo cops and lots of spirit
Frances Parkinson Keyes: Known for Dinner at Antoine's, she wrote many good romantic stories
Robert Ludlum: Does a great job with spies and similar complicated characters
Ngaio Marsh: wonderful, wonderful mysteries
Anne Perry: Writes mysteries set in Victorian England with two couples as the main characters, the Monks and the Pitts. Both charming, complicated.
Luanne Rice: Stories of young women, but not simply romances. Confronts real problems, makes real sense in the solutions. Still, these are fictions with appealing characters, not sermons.
Irving Stone: Historical fiction is his specialty, and he's one of the best. All are biographical; famous for The Agony and the Ecstasy, about Michelangelo.
Margaret Truman (yes, the daughter of former president): Good, well-crafted murder stories all over D.C. Murder in the White House, on Capital Hill, in the Supreme Court, the Smithsonian, etc.
Scott Turow: Up there with Grisham for my favorite lawyer stories. The Laws of Our Fathers prompted one of my recent questions here; uncanny insights.

Fiction or Non-Fiction? Try Angela's Ashes, Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil, Robinson Crusoe, Moby Dick, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man In the Iron Mask, Wuthering Heights, for some. Do you like History? Read Manhunt. Check your local newspaper's best seller list, visit your local library, or your nearest bookstore. You'll be overwelmed with choices.

I finished "The Color Of Water" by James McBride. not too long ago. It is about a black man's tribute to his white mothe and being riased during the 50's and 60's
Another good book is "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou
Or any of the Alice books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I read those along with my 11 year old daughter.

I recently finished Jimmy Buffet's A Salty Piece of Land and Walter Moseley's Bad Boy Brawly Brown. Both were very good.

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts is a brilliant read soon to be made into a film starring Johnny Depp. Also anything by Dean Koontz is worth a read

It kind of depends on your mood and personality you know..
Me, I enjoy reading Catcher in the Rye, Veronika Decides to Die, Mrs. Dalloway..etc..
Try also reading Agatha Christie mysteries...
And Sue Grafton..
Why don't you try Harry PotteR?
Too many books..
Too little time...
