My favorite books are ones that got me back into reading, all recommended by more literary friends. They're mostly simple, concise, and pretty mainstream. In no particular order: 1. Candide by Voltaire 2. The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. The first in the list that I'd read. A bit boring at first, especially for me as an inexperienced reader, probably typical of Hemingway. 3. Catch-22 by Heller 4. Infinite Jest or Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by Wallace 5. The Iliad by Homer
