It's been a while since I read any of these, but I remember them being pretty good.
The First Law Trilogy and Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie ( Very dark fantasy, similar to George R.R. Martin's series)
God Stalker Chronicles by P.C. Hodgell (Classic epic fantasy)
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (High fantasy, unique magic system)

Brandon Sanderson is the guy finishing off Wheel of Time now that Robert Jordan has died...I really like his writing style, I may check that out.

50 Shades of Grey.
No but seriously, 1984 is amazing read.

You should be punched in the face for even the mere whisper of that "book". /sarcasm
All of Neil Gaiman's stuff is great.
Stephen King's newest novel 11/22/63 Is pretty damn good. It's more thriller than horror. Personally I thought it was pineappleing great.
Song of Ice and Fire - There are 5 books out of 7 that are planned, and it's a long read but totally worth it.
Throne of the Crescent Moon- A fantasy/adventure novel. I'm currently reading it, so far I like it.

Oh I second this so f'ucking much.

Alex Rider books are pretty cheesey and meant for kids, but they are the only books I've read in the past 5 years that have actually held my interest, so they must be good.
...or maybe my mind is that of a 10 year old.
...Hmm.

If you like Alex Rider, you may like the CHERUB series.

All Quiet on the Western Front was a good read.

Didn't read any of the other comments but (mostly) anything Stephen King is amazing.
I have yet to read one I did not like.

Wool - Hugh Howey - I dare say this series will go down as one of my favorites......ever.
I thought it was fucking amazing. Find the Omnibus edition. It's compiled all 5 into one book.

hhmm The Last Song, The Lucky one & Me and Orson Welles are pretty good if you disregard their sub-par movies..
A Thousand Splendid Suns, Kite Runner, The child called "it", The lost boy & A Man named Dave on the other hand are really good books and you definitely MUST read them... just prepare a box of tissues.
Ive also read a few girly books(NOT twilight) and i thought they were pretty okay story wise. But i cant remember their names sadly. And lastly, Fifty shades of grey.
