Re: Books - What do YOU read?
I've read and enjoyed the majority of authors that Sparhawk listed.
Some other favorites of mine:
Dennis McKiernan--obviously Tolkien inspired series of interesting fantasy books. I especially like how many of the books take on a philosophical issue--like how to define good vs. evil or what affect living potentially forever would have on how the elves approach life.
Peter F. Hamilton--Sci-fi series dealing with ideas of how humans might explore and spread through space. He constructs very detailed worlds.
Doctor Who novels--I've gotten into the book series based on the recent Doctor Who shows (9th and 10th Doctors). They come as small hardcovers that weigh around 200-250 pages. I like the fact that I can start and finish one in a single evening. The quality of the books varies as with any series by multiple authors, but overall, I recommend them to Doctor Who fans.
