Default One book to suggest

I'm going to take it easy tonight, so after the gym I'm going to walk to the Barnes & Noble in my neighborhood. If I have one book to read tonight, what do you suggest? Please note, I do not read very often.

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Preferably Cat's Cradle.

I listened to this as a book on tape during a long road trip. It was very entertaining.

if your looking to read it in one night, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FINISH THIS BOOK. Its like a gazillion pg's long...

I would suggest BAGGER VANCE, if you haven't seen the movie the book kicks ass for golf stories...

I, of course second that. Breakfast of Champions is another goodie.

Are you planning to read it cover to cover tonight? If so, I suggest something along the lines of Pest Control by Bill Fitzhugh or Duncan Delaney and the Cadillac of Doom by A.L. Haskett.

If you're looking for a book to read serially, Catch-22 by Heller is ideal.

Happy reading.

edit: These are satire/humor genre books, btw.

More fun books
Just a Couple of Days by Tony Vigorito was lots of fun.
Fool on a Hill by 2+2er Matt Ruff is a good one, too.
