I wouldn't dream of preventing a full blown obsession from forming 
but because you asked so nicely:
 I'd first like to second The Princess Bride, Hitchhiker's Guide to 
the Galaxy, Aubrey/Maturin Novels, and Lloyd Alexander, all of which 
I've really enjoyed.
Also I am a huge children's Literature Fan (and I'm still young 
enough to get away with going into the kids section at bookstores) So 
I'd like to recommend anything by Gail Carson Levine, but especially 
Ella Enchanted.  I enjoy The Series of Unfortunate Events, but 
recommend reading the second book first, it moves much better.  
Although I know from personal experience that reading five books in 
three days will make them seem very repetitive.  Then I also enjoyed 
The Artemis Fowl books and another by the same author called The Wish 
List.  Besides that I have a new hobby of reading some of those pesky 
classics everyone thinks is so impressive and my favorites by far are 
Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice.  I've gone on for awhile so 
that'll be enough for now.

Don't let the muggles get you down!
