Depends on what you're interested in. Do you want something heavy and factual?

Any particular area of science that interests you?

Also, if you want something non-fictional and thrilling, look into accounts of epidemology.

Also, I read alot of medical thrillers which are fiction by the author Robin Cook. There are many true facts about science mixed in so you might want to consider that.
