I agree with Striker... hours of fun can be spent on Where's Waldo. 
But, uh, for reading... The Sword of Shannara is good, even if it does seem to copy the Lord of the Rings series a lot, and is a bit predictable... but still quite good if you like fantasy.
Flowers for Algernon is for the sappy person in all of us... it's about a mentally challenged person who becomes a genius. It's really sad, but probably one of the best books I've ever read.
The Great Gatsby was my favorite book that we read in Literature class this year.
Any edition of 1001 Arabian Nights is a good bet... most of the stories are fairly short, so it's good if you want some light reading for a break from a novel. And they're also quite fun to tell if you're into storytelling.
Mike Nelson's Mind Over Matters is, I think, quite funny... basically Mike Nelson (of TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000) rants about random crap.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is a good murder mystery... also check out Murder on the Orient Express.
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, which I enjoyed a great deal in 7th grade Literature (so much so that I bought my own copy). I dont know how good it is now that I havent read it in a few years, but I remember liking it lots.
Island of the Blue Dolphins is another seventh-gradeish level book, but amusing nonetheless.
That's about all I can think of for now... if all else fails, whip out the Gameboy and burn some dendrites.
