I used to read quite a lot, only problem I have is if I've had a drink - I end up reading the same page a few times and completely forget what I read.
I've read all Terry Pratchett books (all the discworld anyway). Think men at arms or guards guards was my favourite.
The Amtrack Wars by Patrick Tilley is a really good bunch of sci fi books - read them when I was a young teen and still have fond memories of them.
I read a couple of dan Brown books, they were quite a compelling page turner.
Ian Rankin - the Rebus series is very good.
Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton was very good.
Time Machine by HG Wells was pretty cool too.
I've read a few Andy McNab books, they are quite funny (it's like Topsy and Tim do SAS) his literacy skills are on a similar level.
I've been meaning to read some KRS-1 books. Saw him live in Penzance, Cornwall many years ago - he gave me a shout out on the mic for doing the robot dance on the floor. Big guy he seemed about 6 foot 4 or larger; I didn't want to annoy him!

Maus is superb. Have you read Persepolis? That Murakami book looks good, I liked Norwegian Wood.

Terry pratchett can do no wrong. Very fond memories of those books. I'm just starting my older kid on The Colour of Magic but it's not as compelling as I remember. Might skip to a later one.
Piglet:
Start with The Wee Free Men Kops. That's right for this age group.

Ahh yes Persopolis is great, I liked the first one the most. And you can't go wrong with Murakami!
As for Terry Pratchett, my favourites are Reaper Man and (if it's Christmas time) Hogfather :D
