Book Recommendations?

So today I spent a lot of time reading (well, I also went to the doctor since I'm trying to get to the bottom of this vertigo business that is plaguing my life) in Chapters. I have been reading Wicked for about a week now and I am not that into it. I find it pretty boring so far, honestly. I'm pushing through (almost halfway!) but if I keep picking boring/hard to read books then I will never make my goal. I am looking to my dear readers to help me out. I need a few compelling, well written fast reads. They don't have to be "easy" and really, I am a snob, I hate really fluffy stuff. I actually read almost half of a book in Chapters- a memoir of someone with Asperger's syndrome. This is an easy read for me. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Some of my favorite books are by Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Wally Lamb... I also like non-fiction stuff but it has to be interesting. I am particularly bad with history or anything dry or really complicated. No Stephen Hawkings for me. Also no Rudy Wiebe. Thanks in advance!
