Ive gotten into clive cussler books recently... He is a decent author, but his books tend to repeat the same plot over and over again... but they are entertaining enough and cheap...
Otherwise, I also finished up a book called Next, by Micheal Chrighton... It was a good read, and pretty much kept me interested the entire way through...

If you want something 'out there' read Dean Koontz's "Watchers."

Educational yet entertaining. One of my favorites. 
I was aboard the George Washington while the author was gathering his info for the book. I know everyone on the cover and the guy in the Green jersey is a real good friend of mine.

I recently read "Night Falls" by Nelson De Mille. Very good.

Night Falls was great. Why don't you try reading some more books by him?
My current favorite is Under The Banner of Heaven By Jon Krakauer, same guy who wrote Into The Wild. It's about Mormonism, It's a nonfiction book but it reads like a thriller.
Someone else mentioned Dean Koontz. Good choice as well.

Lot of good stuff by Demille: Plum Island, Lion's Game, etc.
Ken Follet: Pillars of the Earth...this is a must read if you like novels, history, or architecture.
Military: Andy McNabb: Immediate Action, Bravo Two Zero (there is controversy surrounding these books within the special operations community, but they are good reads regardless).
If you're new to the airlines, keep a spreadsheet of all the books you have read...otherwise you'll end up buying them twice.
