Try books by Kay Hooper. Her Fear trilogies are great! Once you start reading her books you won't be able to put them down.
It's kind of hard to suggest a book, not knowing what you like and don't like.

As an alternative to Harry Potter, try "The Hobbit" by Tolkein. A very amusing book, lots of action, easy to read, and extremely well written. The other Tolkein books making up "The Lord of the Rings" are more complex and more advanced reading.
They'll still be reading "The Hobbit" when HP is long forgotten about.

What are you interested in? Do you want to read fiction or non-fiction? Go to your local library and search their catalog for books related to your interests.
You can often find fiction books related to your interests. For example, The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters is about people living in the Victorian era who are Egyptologists. The books are in the mystery/thriller genre and are complete fiction. But she includes a lot of facts and events that really did happen. She just inserts her characters into history.
Decide what you're interested in and you'll find books to keep your interest.

First check out your public library to see what type of subjects grab your attention. For instance, if you're between 12 and 18 and into video games and best friends stories I think you might like my new novel GAMEPLAYER: The Genesis Portal.
GAMEPLAYER follows the adventures of Nine-dog, Gator and Louie; three racially diverse buddies growing up in the skateboarding, video gaming obsessed Santa Monica, California beach life-style.
Happy summer reading,
Gary Anderson

The Harry Potter series. Wonderful books, great story, and magic is only a small part of what happens. I'm hooked!
Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise, because though they don't know it, it's based on philosophy. (Read: 'If Harry Potter Ran General Electric', you ignorant HP bashers!)

Try Little Women by Louisa May Alcott or Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. These appeal to all ages.

You have to figure out what you want to read, spend a day in the library checking out different topics of books. You will discover what you like.

If you're a beginner, I'm absolutely certain Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" is a good way to start.
