Book Reading Suggestions
CCM:
I have to agree with a few of the other posters that Stephen King's The Dark Tower series is excellent (even though I haven't finished the last few books).
Abarat by Clive Barker is a wonderful book, it's supposed to be geared toward young adults, but I'm 33 and loved it. I highly recommend it! The second book in the series just came out, but I haven't had a chance to get it yet.

Dredging up an old but good thread.
If you are looking for a quick read, try Animal farm by George Orwell. All told, 100 pages, but very good. "All Animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
Preview:
"Mr. JONES of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-house for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himsef a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring.
