Random books I've recently read and recommend:
"Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline: I'd call it a mix of Harry Potter, Willy Wonka, and the Matrix. It's young adult, I believe, but a fun quick read.
"House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski: Strangest book you'll probably ever read. It's not for everyone, but I loved it.
"Snowman" by Jo Nesbo: Dark Norwegian mystery/thriller book in a series. The others are good as well, and you don't need to read them in order.
"The Contortionist's Handbook" by Craig Clevenger: along the lines of a Chuck Palahniuk novel, but a little less nonsensical (I like most of Chuck's book, but some are just too out there)
"Down and Out in Paris and London" by George Orwell: a lesser known Orwell book chronicling a poor chef in 1920's Europe. It could be classified as "slow", but I personally kept picking it up...just a interesting, good book.
"Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson" by Jeff Guinn: as much about Manson as it is about 60's culture in the US. You'll finish it in a couple days...great biography
