If you like modern fiction try anything by Chuck Pahlaniuk (author of Fight Club) or Arthur Nersesian(The -up is good... Dog Run is another great one).
And if you don't know about Kurt Vonnegut, definitely check out his writings. |

Vonnegut is awesome
Slaughterhouse-5 , Cat's Cradle, & Breakfast of Champions are all great pieces of literature |

I totally agree. I just read Slaughterhouse-Five for the first time, and it blew my mind.
The four books in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhikers Trilogy are also a very good read. |

it is a pretty good book but not his best. worth a read. out of his latest i prefer "by the light of the moon".
just finished "fury" and "black river" by G M Ford. good books. Ford writes in a style that is in the middle between Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben. anyone who enjoys both of them, would enjoy fury and black river.
i recommend: anything with michael marshall smith, aka michael marshall |

The Da Vinci Code
and Angel & Demons (both by Dan Brown of course)
bomb reads, especially if you're into conspiracies and adventure
