The most commonly used paper is (arguably) Newsprint. Because it's cheap, very easy to get hold of, and is non-archival (i.e.: it breaks down easily).
Pretty much every paperback in the west uses it for mass market paperbacks.

Other papers may be used; especially for large-format books that need to maintain their shape. They will tend to use acid-free paper that is usually white. It tends to have higher gsm, and is designed to be more durable.
