This is by no means a comprehensive list, but rather a starting place for busy people who would like some reading suggestions.  Hopefully there is something for every taste. The length of each book is indicated by the number of pages in parentheses. Better to read a short classic than not to read at all.  If you are still too busy?  Try audio-books while you drive, jog, vacuum, or clean your toe-nails. Better to listen than not...
