I really really enjoyed High fidelity when I read it. Thing is with that book

you have to read it at the right time in your life.

Otherwise the majority of it doesn't relate.

I read it first at about 22/23 after a break up, read it a couple of times since.

If I read it now, I doubt it'd work as well, not if it was for the first time anyway.

I could give a few ideas, none would probably be classics though, I suppose a lot of my reading material would be frowned upon. (shame that, I believe any reading should be encouraged these days, breaks my heart when people won't even try, they don't know the pleasure they are denying themselves).

King is worth reading for light entertainment, and occasional flashes of brilliance, The Stand is one, and I loved his Dark Tower series.
Richard Layman keeps me amused, without ever being brilliant, Dean Koontz has his moments too. All Horror/fantasy type stuff, good fun in the main.

Just finished a novel by Tony Parsons - Stories We Could Tell. Enjoyed that, only got it as aprt of a mulit buy offer, will be checking out some more of his work now.
