Are You Experienced by William Sutcliffe is incredibly readable - very much a sit down and don't move until it's finished job. Very funny and perfect for staying home after college.
Fight Club is possibly the best film adaption of a book I've come across and it's arguable that you could do without reading it after seeing the film. However, I just found that I immersed myself in the book all the more because of the film and the impact was equally massive.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is another great film adaption. However, reading the book, you get much more about the humour and the influences of the time. Seriously seriously good.
Also, anything by Ian (M) Banks is top quality and of interest to a slashdotter.
Finally, Zen and the of Art Motorcycle Maintenance is fantastic (takes a while to read) and The Prophet by Kahil Gibran is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read (takes no time to read) - great soul food.
