"The Stranger"(L'Etranger) by Albert Camus

the best book i read in my English class(ironically a french book, we read the English translation), it's a very quick and easy read.

"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams

a great comedy made into a shitty movie a few years ago, it was also made into a TV series, and i believe a British play at one point.

Anything by Dan Brown is good.

Books in the Sigma series by James Rollins are good.

David Baldacci and Dean Koontz are okay.

A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain

Honestly probably one of the best books I've ever read (in the middle of reading it)

So far it has made me laugh out loud at least once.

WATCHMEN is without question the greatest book i have ever read. i could go on and on and on about how perfect it is. but I wont. To put it simply, it has an amazing plot, amazingly developed characters, amazing artwork since its a graphic novel, and amazing amazingness.

Farenheit 451 is also pretty good.

Triplanetary
First Lensman
Galactic Patrol
Grey Lensman
Second Stage Lensmen
Children of the Lens

above all by E. E. Doc Smith
As the individual books, or Chronicles of the Lensmen, Volumes 1 and 2.

A bit dated, but a great science fiction story.
