Fun Reading (Score 1)

I enjoyed the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison. Light reading, but fun to read.

Not sci-fi, but Stephen R. Donaldson was fun to read when I was in sixth grade. Might be too deep, but it was something new to me.

Dune, except for the fact that Frank Herbert died before finishing the series, and the follow-on books by his son definitely don't have the same flair.
