Ender's Game. It's not the best book, but I find that people not that into reading can still really get into it.

I finished it a few months ago and agree... only if by "Good", he means "Sci-Fi"... The Doors of Perception by Huxley is one of my favorite short reads... its only about 70 pages, and amazing if youre willing to do some research about the things he mentions.

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie The Giver - Lois Lowry. It's probably not as good as the other books recommended but I enjoyed them.

You should definitely read A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Very good memoir/fiction. Plus the follow-up, My Friend Leonard, is even better.

1984 by George Orwell what a great book. Also, the Harry Potter books are a good read but you have to read them all.

Right now I'm reading Tom Robbins "Another Roadside Attraction". If you're into funny books and hippie culture a long the west coast (or making fun of it), then you'd enjoy it.

I don't believe I've ever read Slaughterhouse Five >_> I've read a few other Vonnegut books, Cat's Cradle, Sirens of Titan, Breakfast of Champions, and those are really good.

I was sure I had, but reading the wiki summary, I no longer think I have. I don't have a clue how I missed it.

Slaughterhouse is my first Vonnegut book and I definitely have to read the rest of his works. I think my dad might have a bunch at his house.

I Am Legend and The Martian Chronicles are both good and neither is very long.
