Fantasy - The Inheritance Cycle is alright enough. Considering that the first one was written when he was a teenager, it's an impressive endeavor.
I also liked the Fable books (the ones that follow the Lionhead games, not the comic series/TellTale games [haven't read/played those]) well enough.
Sci Fi - If you can ever find them, read the Perfect Dark books. They're phenomenal, and it's a right shame that they didn't get more sequels due to poor sales. There's also a comic that takes place between the two books that's worth checking out.
The first two Mass Effect books are pretty good (the second more so than the first), but you're better off ignoring the third and fourth.
Post Apocalyptic - Can't really think of one at the moment. I mean, I've read Warm Bodies fairly recently, but you're better off watching the movie since the movie doesn't take such a serious tone that the book does.
Crime - Never read one that I've liked, so I can't recommend one.
Steampunk - Not sure if I've read any, but I do know that there's at least one BioShock book out there. Dunno of it's any good or not.
It's weird. I read a lot, but I rarely find something I can recommend. The only book that I've read recently-ish that I can recommend is Dust of 100 Dogs, which is about this pirate that's cursed to live the lives of 100 dogs before she can be reincarnated as a human, and she's in search of her treasure, while going over her first life and some of her dog lives as she awaits the moment she can go out in search of her buried riches. Don't know what genre it is, thus why I'm sticking it here.
