Michael Crighton is one of my favorite authors, and so is Michener. :) Dan Brown, who wrote The Davinci Code, also wrote 'Angels & Demons' and 'Deception Point', both really good books.
If you are into the thriller/horror genre, Dean Koontz is the man! Anything he wrote except Icebound or Demon Seed is great!
Other great authors: Anne Rice, Patricia Cornwell, Robin Cook, Clive Barker, Terry Pritchard, Mercedes Lackey, and the list can go on and on. :)

I hate it when you ask people the best book they have ever read and the first thing they say is harry potter without thinking.
If i have to answer a question like that then i will have to consider how much inspiring the book was.
One of the most inspiring book i ever read was "The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (Its a book written like about 100 years ago roughy)
A fiction about a happy doctor who performed experiments that affected his life and turning him into an inhuman and wicked creature. the settings of this story was based in Old London.
I also love crime fiction and investigation. Very interesting!
The Left Behind series by Dr. Tim Lahaye are also a very interesting books. There are about 12 volumes and still more are being written.
Dont forget to read books by Rudyard Kipling A Indian born British who writes interesting fiction books based on animal characters such as mowglis brothers and Riki Tiki Tavi.
Multicultural fiction based on Native american history and the Gold Rush Era and even the Oral Traditions are really fascinating.
Try books with all of these. Its like travelling back in time and Good luck.

If you liked Timeline, I'm thinking you'll also like The Time Machines. It's along the same lines and it's pretty good with somewhat of a surprise ending. Happy reading!
