Night Watch is great, very unorthodox fantasy, and the setting in Moscow gives it a unique flair. Tip: Don't watch the movies.

I actually liked the movies also, might have to do with the fact I saw them before reading the book. If you mentally set yourself up to view them as separate entities having nothing to do with each other it's possible to enjoy them both. But yeah, the book is better.
 
If you like Japan, samurai and ninja... try the Young Samurai Series by Chris Bradford. Excellent stuff! There are 8 books in total so far in the series with Book 8, the Ring of Sky, releasing August this year.

What?!?!? Theres 8? I only thought there was 3! Where would you get the other 5 cause I can't find them anywhere!
 
One I finished recently, and it's probably been mentioned, is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

It was very good. Set in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust and the entire story is narrated by Death, who really wants a vacation.
 
I just read the Hunger Games trilogy while I was on vacation with my family. I really loved it. IDC if that makes me a hipster lol. Harry Potter was also top notch. There's a reason they're so popular.

As far as stuff that's not so obvious, um, I liked the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. It was really original. The Uglies quatrology by Scott Westerfeld was fun, but a little similar to Hunger Games. I'm just starting on the Skinjacker trilogy. IDK how it is yet, but I've heard it's good.

For something really obscure, try The Gods of Pegana, by Dunsany. I imagine being on drugs might make it even better, if you're into that, but it's pretty trippy all by itself.

For a book that will make you bawl your eyes out, "The Cat Who Went to Heaven." It's a classic and won some kind of award I think too.
