I have always like Scott Westerfeld's novels. The writing isn't very challenging, but the ideas certainly can be. One series I like particularly:
Uglies is written in a futuristic society where everyone is given an operation at age sixteen to become beautiful. Why? After an apocalyptic-like scenario the new leaders believe war was caused because of differences and inequalities. This was their solution. They didn't plan for people who might not want to be pretty. The main character, Tally makes a friend who doesn't want the operation. Will she change Tally's mind?
It's become a trilogy, with a companion novel as well. These books really make you think, especially in this world that is all about apperances.

He's started a new series as well. The first book, Leviathan, is out. (I loved it, especially because it was my first introduction to steam punk.)
