NT recommend me a book

[the yes guy]

The Sound and the Fury was one of the hardest but most rewarding books I've ever read. I only recommend it to brave readers.

I enjoyed The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz.

Yeah, pretty short though, 160 pages.
Back on topic. OP if you want good books in general, and not self-help books I would recommend:

Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell
The Stranger by Albert Camus
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis

when you say "good books" do you mean good as entertaining

or could i take in something from them as well

I think he means entertaining. I have read The Stranger a bunch of times and it doesn't really fit what the OP is looking for at all.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch; former professor at CMU who was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. You can guess what the message is about.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. About an Asperger's Syndrome boy who tries to make sense of everything in his life byrelating it to mathematical problems.

Both are very easy to read and comprehend, and are relatively short books.
