In all honesty, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are pretty tough to get into, since they are practically the ur-examples of fantasy, written back when a lot of commercial fiction methodology was still being developed.
When i read a book, I worry first and foremost if I'm entertained, if I am, I'll give it my recommendation, regardless of the flaws. These are the ones I think you'd find best for jumping in with.
YA/Middle Grade Books
Fantasy
Discworld by Terry Pratchet (I'd recommend not starting at the beginning.)
Sci-Fi
Urban Fantasy
Thrillers/Suspense
Very cool. This is from that book Leviathan, right?
edit: after scrolling over, why yes, yes it is.
It's been a while since I've checked in. Last week I finally finished the Chaos Walking trilogy by getting around to reading the third book Monsters of Men. I absolutely loved this series and I seriously hope the author is planning on writing more. It was nice, he wrapped up the storyline but also left it a point that was basically the starting of another story. I really wanted to find out what happens next. This series is definitely one of my favorites of the year so far.
I've started on Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I'm trying really hard with this one but it just doesn't seem to be working for me so far. It isn't calling me to keep going back to it. I've had it on my shelf for quite some time now, and have been meaning to get to it, but haven't. When I saw the trailer for the movie, I got re-interested in it again and want to read it before the movie comes out. I've only gotten like 50 or 60 pages in though after a couple of days, so I am worried I might give up on it. It's definitely more difficult than some of the other books I have been reading so I think that might be giving me some trouble.
I am also working on Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. I've been wanting to get into this one for a few months. I've been in a steam punk kind of mood and this one seemed interesting. It's a alternative version of the events leading up to and during World War I in Europe. It's fun but it's a lot more simple and easier than I was expecting. Shouldn't take long to finish this. I attempted to set a to-be-read list for the next couple of months to get to ones I really wanted to but already this one is making me deviate from it...
Leviathan by Scott Westerfield and Keith Thompson^(don't pay attention to the covers with real people, they're shitty and inaccurate)
It's classified under "young adult fiction," but I think anyone can appreciate it, if anything for the amazing art.
I've never read a book so imaginative, I can honestly say it inspired me significantly in my own creative work.
It really wasn't my style, but a lot of people like it. The Amazon reviews speak for themselves.

It's from Leviathan, by Scott Westerfield. It's really good.
My son really loved the Series of Unfortunate Events books, all the Harry Potter stuff, The Hobbit, the Wrinkle in Time series, and he just finished Leviathan and said it was good. He mainly leans toward sci-fi and fantasy though, as an outgrowth of the book piles myself and my wife already have sitting around. For mysteries I always like the old Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigators way back when I was a kid, but dunno if those are attainable.
