"Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. Really, anything by Amy Tan. She's amazing, and she gives a look at women in Chinese/Chinese-American culture that is beautiful and realistic, yet open to a Western audience. She is one of my favourite authors.
I still reccomend Harry Potter. It's J-fiction, so it's easy to read, but I know college professors who sit around and analyse the book to death. Very fun, whimsical and just a good read.
