George Bataille's Story Of The Eye. It's a thriller and a short read - you'll love it.

No wait, don't get the one I recommended. Just don't.

Though the Hitchins one looks like it could be really interesting. I'd go for that one.

I don't recommend the Hitchens book at all. I found it very dull.. It's mainly quotes, old articles, and tales of the ridiculous stuff people have said/done related to religion in the past. I think everyone knows by now that it has resulted in millions of deaths and held back human progress. That's common knowledge and the Hitchens book is just a dry historical account. If you want a more thoughtful book on the subject..something putting forth solid arguments in favor of reason and against the religious/mystical mindset, check out The God Delusion instead.

to be honest i'm looking more for an escape and entertainment, more than thought-provoking stuff like religion lol

Ender's Game is totally a day-read, but not because it's short.
