If you can sway away from the sci fi. I've been reading the Clive Cussler - Dirk Pitt adventures.

 

Fairly easy going. But enjoyable yarns. Only 2 have ever been made into films. Sahara and raise the titanic.

Jeffrey Deaver if you enjoy complex plotted thrillers - Lincoln Rhyme is his main character -some fabulous reads.

 

I also enjoy Michael Connelly and his Harry Bosch crime series.

 

Currently about to start Mark Webber's Formula 1 story.

The Inheritance Trilogy is a good read for escaping to another world. They based the film 'Eragon' off the first book but the film was disgustingly awful and is in no way a marker for the quality of the written piece. Give it a go!
