Peter James - The Roy Grace series, I've read the 1st 5, enjoyed em.
Jo Nesbo - Harry Hole, an alcoholic detective in Oslo, very good. Can even be read out of order.
James Patterson - the Alex Cross series, plenty to go at there.
Jeffery Deaver is good too, agree with StevieB.
I read the odd biography, and about half way through I get bored with em. Gonna stop doing it.
Thinking of getting a kindle, but do enjoy the feel of a book.
