Book Recomendations, Please

I need to read a book. I need to read something that will capture my interest pretty quickly so I can get into it... other wise I will end up reading about a page or two a week - and that's no good.

So please recommend a book for me to read - if you have any opinions on the topic. And if you have a book you think I should read and can actually lend me a copy that would be even better!

Ok - just thought I'd ask
