If you want a morbid but interesting, informative, and sometimes fun book, try Mary Roach's "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers".

If you are looking for fiction try anything by William Gibson. He is a very well known and excellent si-fi writer and his books are nothing but clever!
For non-fiction try:
A Short History of Nearly Everything: Special Illustrated Edition
by Bill Bryson
or
A Brief History of Everything by Ken Wilber

I might suggest reading I, Claudius, by Robert Graves. It sounds really boring at first, but once you get onto the third chapter or so it's very good. It's historically accurate, and is written as if it were the autobiography of the Roman emperor Claudius.

You might try The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I read the entire book on a flight from New Jersey to Florida. Could not put it down!!!

Start off with Gulliver's travels by Johnathan Swift. If you enjoy that one move on to Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. Two radically different books, but enjoyable.

Anything by Anne Rice or Christopher Rice!!! Very rich in details. Anne Rice is more fantasy and Christopher Rice is more realistic fiction.
