Welcome, eyemaker. :) It would be helpful to provide a little more information concerning what you are interested in. At the moment, I recommend Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev. It's a very good, not to mention short, book.

Welcome, chum. At the moment I'm reading (and would highly recommend) A Separate Peace by John Knowles.

I remember that book; it has been years since I've read it. It's a good book from what I can remember.

After you read Fathers and Sons, move on to the far superior "The Possessed" which discusses the same issues and also mercilessly parodies Turgenev

Perhaps the book review thread can help you to find some good recommendations to read

I would reccommend...
The Ill-Made Mute (Cecilia Dart-Thornton)
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (Louis De Bernieres)
The Secret Agent (Joseph Conrad)

Those are just a few; but I don't know what you like reading, so i'll hold off on the listing of all my favourite books ... There are many
