If you want a good whodunnit I would recommend one of the Janet Laurence 'Canaletto' Books (real page turners).
For science fiction/humour you cannot do better than Terry Pratchett (Postal is brilliant).
For an excellent biography I'd highly recommend Kate Adie's The Kindness of Strangers - an impressive lady who has been shot three times in the course of her career as well as getting minor ailments like amoebic dysentry and Congo-Crimea haeorrhagic fever. A very funny book as well (mentioning for instance the difficulties of getting knickers and bra on in a small tent while conducting a conversation with half a dozen male colleagues who are also wrestling with their underwear). You should read this.
[Have to admit though my wife got a bit sick of me sitting there reading this and chuckling away to myself].

For fluffy and easy going try Jilly Cooper books - she tells a fantastic story. For gritty drama and thrills Quintin Jardine's Bob Skinner series and for a bit of light releif the same author has written the Oz Blackstone series - all superb and page turning in their own way .
Other chick lit is Fiona Walker, Sophie Kinsella and Lesley Pearce

What do you like? Recently read Grave Tattoo by Val McDermid Mystery novel with lots of twists and turns and a very original storyline.

I'd highly recommend 'The Time Travellers Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. It has a fantastic plot, and I couldn't put it down! Read it several times since, and it's still great after several reads.
Note; I've put a link to the plot summary on wikipedia, but if you're intending to read the book don't read the whole article - it tells you the ending.

If you like Patricia Cornwell you should try Kathy Reichs - similar sort of thing but I actually think Kathy Reich's books are better.

If you're ready for a challenge I recommend House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a total mind-trip, but can be a little hard to follow if you're not paying attention.
