Some books that are quick reads, and that I found enjoyable are Dresden Files Series By Jim Butcher. The ones I've read, and I've only read the 1st 4 are not deep reads, but they are entertaining.

Elric saga as has been stated is a good series. Earthsea books by Ursula K Le Guin, well just the first three are very good. Nuromancer by William Gibson is very good.
The Stainless Steel Rat Series by Harry Harrison are also pretty good quick reads, and entertaining.

Classic books
Crime, And Punishment is one of my favorite books all time. The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the Canterville Ghost by Ocsar Wilde are great. The Jungle Book, and The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories by Rudyard Kipling are great books, and quick reads.

You've really just scratched the surface with the Dresden Files then honestly. From book 5 on it really starts to ramp up. Dresden Files is probably my favorite "fast read" series right now. It's a great series. You should really dig the rest of them if you enjoy the first couple.
