It depends on where your interests lie. If you have the title or author of a book you particularly enjoyed, type it into thisonenext.com and check out the recommendations. Ditto for Amazon.com or www.worldcat.org -- check out the lists of other readers' recommendations.
Personally, I recommend reading classic victorian literature, such as Charles Dickens, the Bronte Sisters, George Eliot. Jane Austen is worth a read, too.
If you prefer American authors, try Stevenson (Treasure Island), Steinbeck (the Pearl), F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby or any of his short stories -- 6 tales of the jazz age), Max Shulman (The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis), Sherman Alexie (Reservation Blues, Lone Ranger and Tonto, Fistfight in Heaven), Amanda Davis (Wonder When You'll Miss Me).
Visit your local library and chat with a librarian for further recommendations.
Hope this helps!

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method. The book was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/
