So for school we have to pick out any book and do a summary on it after reading it. I don't really like reading much, so does anyone have any books that you've read that are good?

Preferrably erotic novels.

nice!

"The Secret History" by Dona Tarrt is really good. Quite thick, but a really good read I'd say.

Want to take your teacher for a trip and make him remember you forever? Choose The Holy Bible. Bonus: You can get it for free, and your local pastor, preacher, or monk will help you with ideas for your report.

If you can do non-fiction here are a few good ones:

Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto- Stewart Brand

Good book if you are interested in enviromental issues. It's not your typical "environment book" though (which is why I enjoyed it).

A Brief History of Time- Steven Hawking

It's pretty old now but still a good read and pretty short. Definitely a must-read for just about everyone.

Into the Wild-Jon Krakauer

I'm sure you've heard of it. It also is short and has a movie if you really want to slack off.
