Anything by Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty is a good place to start). McCarthy is great. No Country for Old Men and The Road are smooth, easy reads. The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway is the GOAT though. Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut is the last thing I read and it was pretty awesome, too. But I don't read fantasy type of shit so I've got no recommendations for that.
lol @ war and peace. I've never read it either.
