Some people are interested in reading—in becoming readers, God bless their noble hearts—but many people are intimidated by the sheer number of books out there. It is with that in mind that I recommend the following titles, which I stake my artistic reputation on as being excellently written books that are worth your time if you're interested in becoming a reader:
The Godfather, by Mario Puzo;
Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut;
A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole;
Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk;
Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer;
Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer;
The Right Stuff, by Tom Wolfe;
In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote;
The Basketball Diaries, by Jim Carroll;
The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath;
The Stand, by Stephen King;
The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger;
1984 by George Orwell;
The Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris;
