    The Stranger. Just finished reading it. A very good and short read. Also you could try the Red Badge of Courage. Ironic story, pretty amusing. Read classics. They may sound boring, but they are classics for a reason. Almost all of them are very good.

    If you like Outliers & Freakanomics type then I suggest Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely or Sway by Brafman

    I went to an all boys private prep high school; I had every classic shoved down my throat :p
