Wicked by Gregory Maguire. It's a retelling of Wizard of Oz from the witch's perspective. It's quite a dark and adult book in places though.

Waiting by Ha Jinn. Not the most accessible book and it's not very long but it is good. It's about a man who wants to divorce his wife and marry another woman but due to the time and place (China back in world war times I think) He can't.

World War Z. A book about the world trying to recover after a zombie Epidemic. It's quite good

Lovely Bones By Alice Sebold. It's a great albeit sad and hard read at times. It's being turned into a film but it's a good book.

Anyone who's into crime/thrillers, I'd recommend anything by James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver and David Baldacci.

Particularly:
James Patterson - Along Came A Spider
and Jeffrey Deaver - The Sleeping Doll

If you're up for a real scary read, though, I recommend:
Stephen King - Salem's Lot

As for classics...
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray
Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange
and Chekhov - The Shooting Party

are ones I've enjoyed lately.

Best. Book. Ever.
Stephen King is simply a God.
Read "The Shining" if you're into a good spook as well. It kept me awake for days. lol.
