Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men
The two I was going to say have already been said:
Of Mice and Men- Steinbeck
Anthem- Ayn Rand
(I feel so American!)
Are you living your dream?
Night by Elie Weisel.
- Harrowing account of the holocaust.
Animal Farm by George Orwell.
- Read in one night. Simple allegory but with a poignant message.
Crash by JG Ballard.
- Under 200 pages, if you can stand constant references to engine coolant and semen.
Generation X by Douglas Coupland.
- Fairly short too, lucidly written in a converation kind of way,.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
- A novella, but a classic. One of my favorites.
Heart of Darknesss by Joseph Conrad.
- Also a novella. Another classic. Lots of depth.
Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.
- Little drawings and vulgarity make this hilarious. Small chapters make it easy to read in increments.

Anthony Burgess's 'A Clockwork Orange' 149 pages
Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach
"The Time Machine" by HG Wells
"The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain
"Night" by Elie Wiesel
One of the best books I have ever read and one that haunts me to this day.
Aeryn.org - A little blog for your brain.
"Things may not get better but at least they get different" - Andrew Bell - TheCreaturesInMyHead.com
The Wife of Martin Guerre. Forgotten completely who wrote it, I actually didn't like it myself, someone here might though. Set in 1600s France, some chick gets married and the husband runs away, then a new guy comes back as her husband's imposter, and when this is found out, she's banished from the village for adultery.
Under 100 pages long.
'Beauty stands and waits with gravity to start her death-defying leap. And he, a little charleychaplin man, who may or may not catch her fair eternal form spreadeagled in the empty air of existence.' - Laurence Felinghetti, 'The Acrobat'
The Croquet Player by H.G. Wells was pretty good. I think it was only 96 pages. I read it in less than two hours.
"Hoka, Hoka, Hoka!" by Poul Anderson and some other author, sci-fi genre.
It's about teddy-bears taking over the world.

I am not of your faith, but if a god cannot recognize and reward such love and loyalty, how can he be a god?
If there are no dogs in heaven, let me rather go to wherever they are.
Try "How I Became Stupid" by Martin Page. Possibly one of the funniest novels ever written.
"Finding Mother's Body," by Suzan-Lori Parks is quick, smart and entertaining. marl
The two men became suspects in the duck's disappearance after depuites realized that the two lived next door to the duck's owner, Detective Troyer said. Investigators believe the men hit the duck's head with a hammer, let a dog bite at it and pulled it's feathers out. Eventually they ate it, Deputies said.
'Night' and 'Dawn' by Elie Wiesel are both fantastic books. Good call, Aeryn.
