Bit late, but I concur that the Ender books by Orson Scott Card are very enjoyable.

Also, for some interesting sci-fi / cyberpunk try Neil Stephenson.

Some oldies but goodies in fantasy: Feist's first book "Magician" , and Robert Heinlein's "A stranger in a strange world".

Best historical fiction books: all books by James Clavell.
