Dan Brown is really marvelous but the problem is its vocabulary is too tough.
what I prefer as best one is "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy.

If you want an easy read, guessing from your post up there ^, then you should read the Percy Jackson series. It is great, the vocabulary is easy, and the best thing of all for new readers, the story is quite fast paced, meaning you won't get bored at all. It is based on greek gods in the modern world, and it really is good.
Btw, what is the "god of small things about"? I heard an indian wrote it, and from what i know, isn't the book huge?
My favorites include Tolkien, George Martin and Rowling
Any recommendations in the fantasy genre? (nothing related to vampires pls, or romance

If you mean lengthy bu the word huge, its of Ideal length. Don't go to its number of pages.
I have started The God of Small Things these days and its far more better than any other novel I have read so far. Even I find it better than Dan Brown and The series of Harry Potter. The use words is so easy, and plot, amazing.
Its a story of twins, Estha (male) and Rahel (female), facing the extreme stark realities and difficulties of life.
But you can only understand it when you are in a routine of reading novels, or have at least read any of novels with that style of description (e.g. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, even enough for reading its first few chapters) not vocabulary-wise.
You can find more about it on Wikipedia, the novel also holds a prize.

Another which I recommend as humorous is "The day when my but went psycho" by Andy Griffiths.

How can one not go to number of pages when looking at the length of a novel -____-
Understanding isn't gonna be much of a problem for me i think. Though i still don't understand why you are comparing Angels and Demons for description, cuz that novel is not really that descriptive
