I recommend you find something by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. The Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle, Slapstick, or Slaughterhouse 5, just to name a few.
You cannot go wrong with Vonnegut.

I've recently fallen in love with the books by Richard Bachman (who is Stephen King's alter ego), especially The Long Walk. It is a page-turner, and an excellent morality play.
Cheers! People will read again!

In God we trust, all others pay cash by Jean Shepherd (the movie A Christmas Story was based on a story from this book)
