Let's see ... Last few books I've read ...
(we're only talking fun books, right?)
Alice in Wonderland
The Plague Dogs (Richard Adams)
Fireball (John Christopher)
When the Tripods Came (also Christopher)
The Lord of the Rings (read out loud to son)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
A Tale of Two Cities
Pippi Longstocking
Profiles in Courage
Essays (Bacon)
Moby Dick
The Aeneid

I've found that a lot of those "horrible" books on the required reading list are actually great books, if you don't have to write a bunch of stupid papers about them, and can skip parts you find boring.

All-time favorite authors:
Tolkien, C.S.Lewis, Asimov, Herriot
