A book to read !?

Question

now after i finished my college. i have a 1 month summer break and i would like to read a book in that break.
well the reason im asking is cuz im a real beginner in reading books,i dont read alot, so i wanna know which book can be good and useful for a newbie !!. im into mystery stuff. like fiction n mystirous stories or things, 4 example the davinci code or stuff that has all that type of old signs and historical things.........
so what do u recommend. and by the way, if u know a movie of that type, plz tell me the name as well.......
thx in advance !

first let me say sumthing to Kostagh !!..
thx for answering any way, and ur concerns are not in the right place, maybe i didnt express what i want well, but thats isnt a reason to panic, if u read that much, u should have better realization of things now.,..
first thing, i did not mean that i dont read , even college books, i mean that i dont read extra books ( things that are not in my cyllabus !! ) 4 example, iam studying aeronautical Eng. so i read all my college books, but ive never bought a book about sumthing from the library and read it , thats wat i meant, and seconde thing is i didnt even graduate from college, as a matter of fact, i just finished my 1st year of my bachelor's, and i dont know what else u said there, but i dont think im supposed to waste more time to explain sumthing to sumone claims to read thousands of books, and yet cant judge things correctly

and btw, i dont know who to chose as best answer cus u allllllllllllllllll helped alot n gave me alot of great answers, thx all i really really appreciate it !!!.

Answer 1

get KITE RUNNER by Housenni (i might have spelt that wrong). it's a FANTASTIC summer read, and it's quite simple! it's interesting, quick-moving, and EXCITING. you'll love it; i promise!

Answer 2

Lord of The Flies, Soylent Green, The Running Man,Mad Max,The Lawnmower man,Pygmalion,The Glas Menagerie,Wuthering Heights,Hamlet,Henry the 5,Othello,Contact,
The Day After Tommorow. There's a book & a movie for each. Im not sure about these other ones; The Hunt for Red October,A Scanner Darkly. James Bond movies are based on books too.

Answer 3

How can one be a beginner in reading books after finishing college?!
What kind of college did you graduate from?!
Didn't they make you read books there?! How in the heck did you learn?! And WHAT?!
Good heavens! It's incredible! I remember that before finishing my fifth grade there was no book left in my parent's or school library that I hadn't read! And that was no further than 1974!!!
I guess I must have read well over 10.000 books by now! There were times when I used to read at least one book per day.
Hell! We're going to have a hell of an old age if young people today don't read anymore! They'll be able to tell you anything and "sell" you anything just because you will not know any better!

Answer 4

Try And Then There Were None, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, or Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (They are fascinating murder mysteries, some of the best ever written).

Answer 5

The Stand by Stephen King. Classic tale of good versus evil. One of the best novels I have ever read.

Answer 6

I have always been a big reader but the one that i remember most is called "In this skin": and it is by simon clark. It was an awesome sci-fi book.

Answer 7

Any of "Stuart Woods" books, try the Stone Barrington series, but trust me, they are all good,fun reads.

Answer 8

books by michael crichton and stephen king are usually what i read these days
