I really enjoyed "You Are Not So Smart" as well.
I'll add my favorite work of fiction, "IT" by Stephen King

Atlas Shrugged
My dad had me read that in 7th grade and it changed my outlook on life more than any book ever, it should be required reading for all teens

Everything by Steinbeck and Cormack McCarthy
I agree on all of their books besides Blood Meridian, that is just a horrible novel. Even worse is some people on TD say it is their favorite book ever which just shows me they don't read much at all because it is pure torture to read.

Tuesdays with Morrie made me cry like a schoolgirl. Read it 6 months ago and that hadn't happened to me in years.

I never could have guessed that !
I read it 2 or 3 times in middle school and loved it to death but I should probably read it again since it had been over 20 years. I have read everything King has ever published and he is great for the most part, besides a few endings, but from what I remember that was a great book that I loved. I'll add it to my list.Posted on 2/3/16 at 12:01 am to S
100% agree, I just didn't get "Catcher in the Rye" and I have read it as a kid, teen and adult.

Bookmarked this thread and will come back later. I'm real big into non-fiction and need a change and want to get into fiction.
TIA to all the answers.

You might as well make the move to fiction since IMO there isn't much real non-fiction out there. Authors, editors, time, perspective etc pretty much guarantee there is fiction in any non-fiction book you read. I would rather a good story than something filled with BS acting like fact.

I'd recommend T.J. English and Erik Larson if you want some good non-fiction

I've read about 80% of what has been offered here.
My personal favorite book is a relatively minor Steinbeck not mentioned yet-

The Sun Also Rises and The Old Man and the Sea
Bookends by a guy who pretty much changed the way novels were written.
The Brothers Karamazov or Crime and Punishment
I found that these mess with your head so maybe only one in a short span of time.
On the Road
Great stuff about America or at least a subset of it.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Some of the funniest and most perceptive stuff I've read. I can't imagine not having read it.
Moby Dick
Works as both an adventure story and as metaphysical musings.

A second vote for Bukowski's "Post Office."
Fans of the Hitchhiker's guide books should check out the Dirk Gently novels; I enjoy them almost as much.
For my contribution, I'll say Night by Elie Wiesel. And it can be read in about an hour.
