Depends on what you like to read.
Mystery: Sue Grafton (author) she does alphabet books, i.e.:
A is for Alibi, R is for Revenge, etc. She is up to letter T now. Very good read.
Also books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (co-authors) with Agent Pendergast as main character. Fascinating books!!!
Psychological Horror: author Bentley Little is very good
Intrigue/Spy: any novel authored by Clive Cussler with Dirk Pitt as the main character.
Religious: the "Left Behind" series
Easy Read: the Harry Potter series
Science Fiction/Fantasy: J.R.R. Tolkein the Hobbit series is a fun read
Take what you are interested in and try to read along those lines.
Have fun!!!!!!

If you like reading non-fiction, about what goes on nowadays - I recommend these two -
1) "Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader"
written by Bradley K. Martin
2) "Rogue Regime"
written by Jasper Becker
These two well-written books give an insight about the North Korean Government.
Fiction?
Try all the books written by Clive Cussler.
The hero is Dirk Pitt, with his sidekick Al Giordino. These are well-written.

when you want a novel you simply cannot put down, go to Sheldon... his well-crafted suspense novels yarn to keep readers turning the pages... the endings are totally unexpected... definitely thought-provoking!
the naked face
the other side of midnight
a stranger in the mirror
bloodline
rage of angels
master of the game
if tomorrow comes
windmills of the gods
the sands of time
memories of midnight
the doomsday conspiracy
the stars shine down
nothing lasts forever
morning, noon and night
the best laid plans
tell me your dreams
the sky is falling
are you afraid of the dark?
have fun!

hi, if you want to read it just for enjoyment than go for "five point someone" by chetan bhagat. it's not too long and very funny at the same time sensible book. if you want serious philosophy which is not too boring than go for "fountainhead" by ayn rand but it's a bit long. you can check out "da vinci code" by dan brown if you want hard core thriller.
enjoy

well im into fantasy and romance. try these, i loved them:
twilight series-stephenie meyer (DEFINITELY!)
a great and terrible beauty/ rebel angels- libba bray
the immortals quartet-tamora pierce (i liked all her books- song of the lioness, trickster's choice, etc)
wicked lovely- melissa marr
the red tent- ? (this wasnt fantasy or anything, but it was really good. it is definitely emotional and a bit more mature i guess. it is a fictional tail based on a bible character (isaac's daughter). it is really good. i cried!)
