My five-year old is reading by himself, and it's great... except I have to make sure what he's reading is appropriate for his age. He loves all of the Arthur books (Marc Brown), Olivia (Ian Falconer), Curious George (Reys), anything by David Shannon, Jan Brett, Laura Numeroff (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie), How do Dinosaurs... (Jane Yolen) Angelina Ballerina (Katharine Holabird), Clifford series, Froggy (Jonathon Londen) and he loves Calvin and Hobbes.
As he gets into chapter books, Cynthia Rylant has some good stuff (Poppleton), as does Barbara Park (Junie B. Jones) and Beverly Cleary.

As grown ups, kids need many kinds of readings. Some times they need explanations, fun, answers, private exploratoriums, stories, skills development books, etc.
You need to view this from two sides... one, your own perception of what your keed wants or needs, and, more important, the ones that correpond to your kid´s moods and needs first.
So you will need 2 or 3 new books. A typical place to look for books is
http://www.kidsatrandomhouse.co.uk/
Let me give you a little of my personal angle on the subject. We, as parents, have experienced thinks we like and hate, things that made one afraid of stupid things as darkness or strong mad voices. If you do not want to have your son on that seme line... find books that eliminate or explain that to him.
Bestsellers are books that have intererest or publicity. Do not trust them. Read a couple pages and decide fro yourself.
You may also trfy to download an illustrated e-book from the web, were you place the name of the people involved in the story.. just write your son, and family names instead... and you will see how happy your kid gets... let the kid be the hero!
There is also one interesting aproach that consist on creating your own book with your kids. You do 2 or 3 pages a day, you ask the kid for what is going to happen and who else is required for this story. Some times you just do a one day story, some others a weekly one... you will see your kid being so involved in the storuy, and you will also see your kid as a person with a mind.
Just enjoy the process...
and read your kids signs...

Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag. It's an old book, but your library should have it. Kids that age love this book.
"Millions and billions and trillions of cats...."
