I normally love a good mystery.  However, I have recently gotten into authors like James Michener and Clive Cussler.

I can go for a little suspense or drama but I prefer a romantic mystery. Also, any book written by Mary Higgins Clarke.

I love to get into a gripping thriller/mystery.  A lot of my favorites have been mentioned here already but I'll add a couple of REALLY excellent ones:
Lee Child writes about a character named Jack Reacher who is a former M.P. vagrant of sorts and is one of the most fascinating characters in a series.  Bonus is that there are at least a dozen Reacher books.
I just finished a book by David Baldacci - a mystery/thriller - excellent!  The name of the book is "The Forgotten"

Tana French writes mysteries set in Dublin and they are fantastic.  She develops the characters beautifully and you remember them long after you have forgotten the plot.
P.D. James has been around for awhile and she also has wonderful characters.  A central character is Inspector Dalgleish.  He is also a poet.  She is one of my very favorite authors.
I also enjoy some biography and read lots of "how to" books to help with using Photoshop, doing my photography, art etc. Never enough hours in the day.
One more series I must add:  The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo and the 2 follow up books by Stieg Larsson are gritty but excellent.
