Looking for well-paced, easy, guilty-pleasure/enjoyable books. Trying to get my mind out of the fast-paced internet, and back into reading books. My guess is that this will allow me to flow back into reading again, any recommendations?

The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley. It's a great book for bibliophiles.

Anything by Nathanael West. His longest book can be read in like 4 hours if you're concentrating.
James bond was my guilty pleasure. Then I read some Le Carre and was blown away.
Nigger city of god is about young thugs in the favellas of Brazil. Slinging drugs and killing each other.

Shit, sorry, thought you were referring me to St. Augustine
kerouac is easy as shit to read (unless his edgy stream of consciousness syntax fucks you up) and either leaves you with a generally entertaining and pleasant story or something depressing to ruminate over or usually both
Coelho's The Alchemist

OP is faggot, I know. But why do you want him to have cancer?

Not OP but that's what came to my mind first
Palahniuk and Bukowski are simple as heck. You can easily read a book a day with those fellows. Of course everything they write is basically the same, but you probably won't mind the first few times.
I'd start with Ham on Rye for Bukowski and Choke for Palahniuk.
Haruki murakami and paul auster are easy

Ill second murakami
simple and fairly enjoyable reads
The Hobbit

Discworld books, Hitchhiker's Guide, Neuromancer, Sherlock Holmes, A Clockwork Orange, maybe some Chuck Palahniuk (a lot of people dislike him; I think he's fine).
Discworld. Dirk Gently. Agatha Cristie. Harry Potter. Metro 2033.
