Seriously, I don't read books too often, but i love reading carl hiassans stuff. It is not the least bit boring and  you can zip through them.

Michael Crichton, but you probably really have to like reading to get into his stuff. James Patterson is good too.

clive cussler, the books are really wasy to read along with being quite entertaining. if you do choose to read his, make sure you read the dirk pitt ones, not the ones he cowrote with paul kemprecos. i dont find those ones as good as the dirk pitt numa files.  btw theyre adventure books where a guy named dirk pitt who works for NUMA(national underwater marine agency) basically do james bond like stuff.
