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 (mystery/adventure/drama type). I would suggest you start the books from the first; some of the story lines tend to follow into subsequent novels.
The hero is Dirk Pitt, with his sidekick Al Giordino. These fiction books by Clive Cussler are well-written.

How old are you, what is your gender, what are your interests? I would need to know all of these things to give you a really good answer.
Having said that, try Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It's about a teenage girl who falls in love with a very nice vampire. It is romantic but not mushy, has lots of action and suspense, and some humor. Great for anyone over the age of 12, though it's more of a chick book than for guys.
Or, just ask a good librarian -- she or he can match you up with a good book based on your own tastes.

STOP for a minute, and don't discount grammas. I love reading and enjoy a full range of fiction.
I have found that Clive Cussler's NUMA books have a wonderful combination of suspense, light humor in terms of the banter between characters and excellent topics. NUMA is a fictional underwater agency, and Dirk Pitt (my personal favorite main character) is one of their top agents.
I suggest you browse through his titles at the library, and you may find that gem you're looking for.
