I just read (a few weeks ago) The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks & The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller because I felt like a little fiction written by men. Both were made into movies, so I guess they inspired me to get the books before seeing the films.
Both books were 'just okay.'
I read more non-fiction or history or if I read fiction, I will often read teen fiction (shorter books, quicker plots).
I agree with Bill Bryson's books. He does a lot of 'travel' type/cultural stuff. I liked Notes From a Small Island because I am an Anglophile.
Have you read the Harry Potter series? I enjoyed them very much.
I haven't read Harry Potter.. I tend to like well written and researched historical fiction. I read everything Eugenia Price wrote. Much of it was set in the deep south before, during and after the Civil War.

Jean Plaidy is known for her historical accuracy and has a huge back catalogue (over 200 novels) but her books are mostly about European Royalty.
If you have not read any books lately, you might want to start out with one of the best storytellers ever, W. Somerset Maugham. All of his books are awesome. He was a prolific writer during the first half of the 20th century and his most well-known book is "Of Human Bondage." Quite a few of his books have been made into movies, the most well-known are "Up At The Villa" and "The Painted Veil." I would suggest starting out with "The Moon And Sixpence" or "Christmas Holiday." He is a genius at telling stories that deal with the emotional and eccentric side of the human condition. Check him out!
