I've just got off of a stint of reading 'heavy' books, including 'The Historian' (Evocative but a smidgen overwritten).
I decided I needed a light read, and plucked off the shelves a book that 'I liked the cover of' (I just gotta try and bust a cliche every now and a again)
I picked the Dresden files by Jim Butcher., If ever there was a masterclass in pacing then this series is it. Granted the prose is workmanlike, but the structuring and pace as well as likable characters are like geek crack. Trust me if you want a 'fun' read then this is a great series.
