Can someone help me choose an easy book I can read in 2 days?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew which one of these books is a simple easy read and is not boring. So far I've read, China Boy, Middle Passage, The Bluest Eye, and Tuesdays with Morrie. I liked all of them except Bluest Eye because that was more of a girl's book. School starts thursday so I have to do this quick. Here's the list. Thanks
 
shakespeare - othello is good, but the vocab may be a tad distracting if you don't understand it all

jane austen - emma. i loved it but i'm female.

haven't read much else on that list.
 
Things Fall Apart is an incredibly easy read. The only reason it's probably on that list is while the reading level is probably 7th-9th grade, some of the subject material (rape, dominance, gender roles, imperialism) definatly isn't.

Wow and that's on honors too, I thought I went to a good school too. Thanks, I'll pick it up tommorow
 
Lullaby - Chuck Phalanuik
Gasping for Air Time - Jay Mohr

...I just read both and I highly recommend them. Both great reads. Both fast. Lullaby is written by the same guy who did Fight Club. "Gasping for Air Time" is by Jay Mohr who was on Saturday night Live for 3 years. Great behind the scenes stuff.

It's on the honors list for a reason (the simple language is deceptive -- it is a deep book) but it's trivial to finish in 2 days if that's your goal 😉 I think I finished it in one night when I was in the 9th grade, and I remember it being a good book.
