This would really depend on your tastes.
I like to recommend The Dresden Files. The link goes to the first book in the series, and the first chapter is available on that page to see if it is something you might enjoy.
Also I liked The Golden Compass. Don't dismiss this book because it is for young readers anymore than you would dismiss a pixar movie. They are still enjoyable for adults, a good story is a good story.
If the fantasy stories aren't your thing, Hunt for the Red October is a fun read. It is also the gateway to a bunch of other novels from Tom Clancy. These are more suspenseful/action driven stories.
My preferences are mostly in the direction of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, so if you would like more things along that path I'd be happy to offer more suggestions.

Read Red Storm Rising, Hunt for Red October, Submarine, and maybe Fighter Wing, then walk away and never read another of "his" books.
Amazing author.
There is a history of data systems technician online, which explains how the Navy changed it's way of operations in tracking enemy ships and planes up to the modern aegis system. Gives you an idea of how the Navy transformed from guns to missiles.
