Arial.
Definitely not Times New Roman. Times New Roman was designed for newspaper to use. Because newspaper needs to pack so much news into so many pages of paper, they jampacked the text into the smallest space as possible.

Most serif fonts (serif are the small whiskers you find at the top and bottoms of types like `times roman) are easy to read, cause the human finds it easy to link one character to another using the `serifs'.. but on the other hand sans-serif fonts (fonts without serifs), like Arial are tough to follow.. you will find the best example, when the text is kerned (the spaces between the characters are reduced)

In traditional printing seriffed fonts are used for body text because they are widely believed to be easier to read than sans-serif fonts for this purpose. Sans-serif fonts are used for shorter pieces of text and subject matter requiring a more casual feel than the formal look of seriffed types. Sans serif types have recently begun to supplant seriffed types for headings with a 'cleaner' look.
Seriffed fonts are the overwhelming typeface choice for lengthy text printed in books, newspapers and magazines. For such purposes sans serif fonts are more acceptable in Europe than in North America, but still less common than seriffed typefaces.
While in print seriffed fonts are considered more readable, sans-serif is considered more legible on computer screens. For this reason the majority of web pages employ sans-serif type. Hinting information, anti-aliased and sub-pixel rendering technologies have partially mitigated the legibility problem of serif fonts, but the basic constraint of coarse screen resolution—typically 100 pixels per inch or less—continues to limit their readability on screen.

Arial is a good general-purpose easy to read font.

Years ago I had a superb statistics textbook printed in Palatino. I've always credited the easy-to-read Palatino type and superb paper quality with my doing well in that difficult course.
