What genre do you like to read? Name two or three of your favorite books so people can get an idea of your tastes.
Books by Carl Hiaasen are great fun. Skin Tight, Basket Case and Lucky You are amongst his best imo. Also recommend The Crow Road by Iain Banks.
I love my Jonathan & Faye Kellerman, Richard Noth Patterson, & James Patterson, as wicked thrillers...
I just read, and enjoyed, The Quiet American and The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene, although the former isn't really a mistery if you know the history behind the Vietnam war.
Thriller?
The Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett; you won't be able to put it down.
If you want something deeper, go for The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini or Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Both are excellent works of modern literature.

I am also a fan of Orwell's work. I recommend Animal Farm I found it hilarious and makes you think too.
Messiah by Boris Starling
James Herbert's written some good thriller/horror books. 'Sepulchre', 'Moon', 'The Ghosts Of Sleath' and The Rats trilogy are all good reads.
And although these aren't really in the genres/types you mentioned, they're both excellent books- two of my favourites:
'You're OK, It's Just A Bruise' by Dr Rob Huizenga
'Nine Lives- Confessions Of A Master Jewel Thief' by Bill Mason

another recommendation for 1984, amazing novel
also try Ender's Game, that's another book I couldn't put down
And after that read the Shadow saga (Shadow of the...).
Those books don't conform to what you like because they are sci-fi, but give it a try if you haven't. You could like a different genre!

I haven't, but it's on my "need to read" list. Have you?
If you liked The Kite Runner, I'm confident Life of Pi is right up your alley. The beginning is a little slow, but follow through, because it has an amazing ending.
