I suspect if you did an `ls -l /var/log/squid/access.log` that the owner (root) would have read access already, but you can be certain of this by doing:
sudo chmod o+r /var/log/squid/access.log
Some commands are a little funky if you're running them through sudo and not actually at a root prompt. Have you tried that?

Try:
sudo chmod 755 /var/log/squid/access.log
sudo chown root:root /var/log/squid/access.log
