Just go watch a movie. I hear the Contender is a good book though.

Introductory Practical Pyrotechnics

Anarcist Cookbook anyone?

Anarchist's Cookbook isn't something you'd sit down and read night to night.

If you're into WW2, I'd highly reccomend Stephen Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers, it kept me rivted through all the pages, one of those books you don't want to put down.

Just go to a book store or library, and browse, you're bound to find something.

Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

It's neat—basically the story of a psychologist who marries one of his patients and slowly breaks down while caring for her. Also, this novel is written by one of the best writers to have ever lived.

EDIT:

Thinking about the subject, I can suggest some more, too . . . .

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner is an extremely entertaining and experimental read if you're into literature for real. If not, you may just find it to be too weird. Either way, it is a classic. The story basically describes the journey of an impoverished, Great Depression family to bury their matriarch. Oh, and most of the characters are either mentally impaired or otherwise facing major issues—that makes it a bit more interesting.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is just crazy, about as experimental as it gets, really. Sometimes the text isn't even in English, and sometimes there isn't even any text at all on a page. A modern classic as there is nothing else like it. —Scary as hell to read but tough as hell, as well. I'd only recommend reading this book if you are a very good reader, have a great deal of free time, and can stand to use a dictionary quite often.

"Inherit the Wind" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee (not the general) is actually a play, but read it anyway; it only takes a day at the very most. Contrary to the other two, this piece of work is actually pretty traditional. I like to skim over it when I'm feeling rebellious.
