chuck pahliniuk (sp?) the author of fight club, writes amazing books. Even if you've seen fight club, reading the book is a whole different experience. He also has other books that are my favorites like 'Lullaby' and 'Choke'

1984 by George Orwell is a terrific book.

'odd thomas' is really good

'swan song' is a must read. It's not a girly love book like the name suggests.

One of my favorite books is On The Road By Jack Keroac.

^ thisangelicrage, that would be assuming that a majority of the NS members do more than surf this site insulting each other- as IF they've read a lot of that list- I read every day and I still haven't, but I will! Catcher in the Rye was amazing...

the davinci code by dan brown is awesome. im just started angels and demons. we were the mulvaneys is a pretty good book too. i have to read candide by voltaire for my western civ class..it's a classic, but it's an easy read and surprisingly it's not that bad at all...rather amusing actually.
