Wow you got a lot of suggestions.
I'm not a big reader myself. I am bipolar and it shares traits with ADHD and that makes reading hell on earth.
But when I got on my ADHD medication for the first time I was reading everything!!!!!!!!!!!
Mostly science and mechanical type stuff but I did get a hold of the Bible.
Now I am atheist but I did kind have a curiosity about it.
So I read it like it was intended to be read. Page by page. Chapter by chapter. In order.
It was actually a really good book. Way better than a preacher doing it for you.
Not good enough to turn my views, but I found nothing objectionable in it.
But that's not my recommendation. LOL.
So I read a bunch of the original Amity ville Horror book. That was a page turner I can say. LOL
But a girl I was dating got me to read "Hideaway" by Dean Koontz I believe.
That was a pretty good book really. The movie sucked. :-(

I’m about to start this one by one of my favorite mystery writers. I also enjoy Tana French.

If you’re an enthusiastic reader, please join the Book Lovers Corner group! I post a lot there on books I enjoy.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

It's one of those books that you might read in one sitting but then wish that you hadn't.

I'd recommend making the enjoyment last.

It's very good.

Um.. Breakfast of champions by kurt vonnegut. Its weird hearing the ending of a story from the start and the mention that eventually the main guy bites off another guys finger.

It's also extremely beautiful, funny and a philosophy centric story. But more would spoil it.

Except that one about the guys finger, he will mention it again.
