chuck pahliniuk (sp?) the author of fight club, writes amazing books. Even if you've seen fight club, reading the book is a whole different experience. He also has other books that are my favorites like 'Lullaby' and 'Choke'

1984 by George Orwell is a terrific book.

L'étranger. it's in french though, but nonetheless a classic.

'odd thomas' is really good

'swan song' is a must read. It's not a girly love book like the name suggests.

One of my favorite books is On The Road By Jack Keroac.

the davinci code by dan brown is awesome. im just started angels and demons. we were the mulvaneys is a pretty good book too. i have to read candide by voltaire for my western civ class..it's a classic, but it's an easy read and surprisingly it's not that bad at all...rather amusing actually.
