It's definitely not "great literature" but I enjoyed the series that the TV show True Blood was based on. The first book is called Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. Quick, easy read. I call them "cheeseburger books".

I really enjoyed Stardust by Neil Gaimen. I haven't read anything else by him so I don't know if his other works have the same feel. But I loved the characters, the magic, and the adventure. So something with a similar feeling maybe?
