These are more for kids/teens, so I'm not sure if you'd be interested in them...
A Walk to Remember
(one of my favorite books ever. It's completely different from the movie, it's much better.)
Twilight
(I just started reading it, but it's great so far. And a lot of people seem to love it)
Spiderwick Chronicles
(Short, but great. Another one of my favorite series. It's a great alternative to Harry Potter. And a movie will be coming out next year.)
The Clique
(haha, I am addicted to this series. Just about a bunch of girls, being girls. Except they all lead amazing lives we wish we had. Definitely more for teens.)
A Series of Unfortunate Events
(This is more for kids, but a lot of adults read it too. I just finished the last book today. Great series, you learn a lot from it too.)
And of course... Harry Potter
(if you haven't read it, you probably know what it's about anyways. Books are always better than movies though.)

It's quite tough to suggest because you forgot to mention what genre you're into. Fantasy? Horror? Chick flicks? Adventure/Thriller?....
For me, enjoy reading from quite a large range of genres from fantasy, thrillers to historical fiction. To list a few:-
1. Temple, by Matthew Rilley (action/thriller)
2. Pompeii, by Michael Crichton (historical fiction/thriller)
3. Queen of the Dammed & Blood and Gold, by Anne Rice (horror)
4. The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown (mystery/thriller/ historical - combination)
5. Harry Potter series, by JK Rowling (I guess you can say fantasy)
6. The Client, The Rainmaker, The Pelican Brief, by John Grisham (legal thriller/crime fiction)
...and many more.

I don't know what sort of books you like.I love supernatural,historical and romance books.So I'll recommend those.
Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.Each novel in the series is told from the fictional perspective of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (named by his father after Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield). Dresden is the only professional wizard in modern-day Chicago (he is in the phone book, under "Wizards").In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and more. The general public that Harry Dresden works to protect does not believe in magic or the large array of dark forces which regularly conspire against them. This makes it tough for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.
Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.
'The fire rose' by Mercedes Lackey.In this book 'Beauty and the Beast' is updated to 1905, where fabulously wealthy rail baron and Fire Master Jason Cameron has transformed himself into a wolfman and he needs the help of an tame scholar (female so that she is no threat) to help translate the Magickal texts that will give him clues to breaking the spell. Instead of the mouse he expects, he gets a lioness, Rosalind ('Rose') Hawkins, a classicalist and medievalist whom he has brought from Chicago to his San Francisco estate under false pretenses, supposedly to be a governess to his non-existent children. Penniless, she is more than willing change the terms of the initial agreement to do interesting work in luxurious surroundings, even with someone who may be a madman. She eventually learns the truth about Jason and begins to grow as a Magician herself. But Jason has enemies who do not want him to return to human form and full power, or wish to exploit his power for themselves. And then terror strikes, both from Magickal and natural sources....

Depends on what you enjoy really. Most recently, I fell in love with the work of Daniel Silva. He is a fabulous spy fiction writer. I literally couldnt rest until I had every single one of his books in my library. His prose is magnificent. I plug him here so much that he should send me some signed first editions. (In case you're reading Mr. Silva - write me for my address) Pax - C.
