What are some short, interesting books that will get me back into reading? I haven't read much since the summer and I'm having trouble finding something simple and interesting enough so that I can power through it. I'm looking for something that's similar to Vonnegut's books. Thanks in advance.

Erm, this is nithing like Vonnegut OP, but it's ace and I am one for shirt/easy reading books myself too.

(We ar ein good company - Catallus hated long literature and he is a don).

Book of Lieh Tzu (he's diffeent to Lao Tso). It's an old Taoist book filled with stories, wisdom, humour and advice. It opens with a guy riding the wind. I love this book.
