What are some good (newer) books to read?

Just got a B&N Nook. Like to read sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, horror, would like to also read historical fiction (like western, etc). Authors I like are Dean Koontz, Stephen King, R.A. Salvatore, Michael Crichton, James Patterson, but I want to expand my repertoire as well. Let me know what you’ve read that’s really good. Thanks!
