Dragons of the autumn twighlight by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weiss. It's a brilliant book sort of David-Edddings-ish but better. It made me cry, in parts and laugh almost immediately after. I LOVED it ( though terry's book are still better, of course ) 
Some of the Dragons are very scary, but a few are really, really kewl. I agree WeeKelda, that is a good choice.
I liked this series until about 1/2 way thru the last book. Just went too silly and preachy for me. Shame, had good potenial.
I would recommend World War Z, by Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks) It is an account of what happended when the world was over run by zombies from key and not so key figures from before, during and after the 'war'. I don't knwo where he learned to write but the social breakdown of goverments, and people is so realistic to be scary! Great book. Had me up late most nights reading it. An off shoot to this book is the Zombie Survival Guide. B

I've just recently bought and read The Zombie Survival Guide and loved it, it was great fun. I'll have to remember to pick up a copy of World War Z the next time I'm in Newcastle.
I recommend Chase The Morning by Michael Scott Rohan; a bizarre - yet curiously effective - mixture of horror, fantasy, swashbuckling naval adventure and magical realism. A yuppy (remember those?) has his life turned upside down when he turns the wrong corner in his local dockyard and finds himself drawn into a shadow world of magic, adventure and horror. The three sequels are rather good as well, but I can't recommend them due to the rules.
However, the first novel was initially written as a stand alone story, rather than the opening of a series so can be enjoyed in it's own right.

The Discworld Series!
Just joking.
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl.
The first book only has Artemis Fowl as its name. Its not my favorite in the series, but everything else makes much more sense if you read it first. Total 6 books in series as yet.
Note: That's still only one book. I was giving EXTRA INFORMATION!
