I second The Martian by Andy Weir. So far, I haven't met a person who doesn't like it yet, so I recommend you give it a shot. I recently recommended it to my friends and co-workers and it got their seal of approval. The great thing about it is it's not solely for science fiction genre lovers. Also, the great extrusion of the author's humor among the characters is refreshing.
I haven't read Battle Royal by Koushun Takami, but it was recommended to me by a former colleague and said it was better than Hunger Games. I can't say for sure since I haven't purchased it yet.
