Can Someone Recommend Me A Good Book?

[goodfelladave]

So my job is pretty boring and has plenty of downtime with me just bored as heck. I don't do much reading and have read few books for my own enjoyment,most of my reading was done for high school and college courses.

I like alot of the books I read in high school and college but just don't know where to go when picking a book up on my own.

My favorite books are
- Les Miserables(favorite)
- Animal Farm
- To Kill A Mocking Bird
- Julius Caesar
- The Yankee Years

I'm down to read anything from a really good biography, sports, crime or pretty much anything. I would prefer if the book was famous like the ones Ilisted. Thanx guys, any help is appreciated.
