Let's not get down on Ford Madox Ford, guys! Really! Read the Good Soldier. Also, I think Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger is perhaps the finest book I've read.

Others:
The Trial by Kafka. Very easy and fun to read, and worth it. If you don't want serious, read Kafka's Amerika. Very funny.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. A mistake to live without reading this one.
If you like poetry, try Paul Muldoon. He's great.
A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway is stupdendously good and again very easy to read.

These are all readable in a short span of time, too. Honestly, they're QUICK reads and all terrific!

And if you really want to make me happy ---
read THE REVENGE FOR LOVE by Wyndham Lewis. Ask me and I'll bring in a copy and lend it to you. It's terrific, a bit political, very very good.
