I am going to Borders soon and want to pick up a couple books. What are some good easy reading books? Nothing really deep, i gotta pass a lot of time driving soon, maybe some mysteries or something like that.

audio books? (or are you not reading while driving?)

maybe a bit off what you're looking for, but good nonetheless: Chuck Palahniuk (fight club, survivor, etc) and Nick Hornby (high fidelity) are good, easy reads popular amoung young, american males.

anything by tom robbins....i'd start with 'jitterbug perfume' though.

How about "Harrington on Hold'em"?

The popular Dan Brown novels are very quick and engaging reads. For nonfiction I recently liked both 'Into Thin Air' and 'Under the Banner of Heaven' by Krakauer.

The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy.

Wolfe's new book is great. The audiobook has a tolerable voice reading it too.

I assume you're talking about A Man in Full Wolfe and not Look Homeward, Angel Wolfe? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
