Through reading your posts, hmmm, totemachu, i choose you! If you would grace me with an answer to a question...
If you were to recommend a book to someone who uh, crap, im not gonna describe myself. i read things in the asylum, that should be good enough. Um, yeah, so I don't read a lot because everything is usually crap, all the novels you read in English classes. Last book I finished cover to cover (less than 6 my whole life) was uh... a Dirk Pitt novel by clive cussler. I read it cause it was like watching a movie, and it made me feel smart finishing a book. but im not stupid, or uneducated, just lazy. anyway, if you could, would you recommend a book for me that you think i could finish cover to cover? lots of info here to go off on lol.

Eragon.
Also like watching a movie.
The Lord of the Ring books, IMO better than the movies.
Especially Return of the King.

Ok, seriously, either you love to read or it's a chore to slog your way through anything with words printed on it. There are any number of books out there that appeal to any number of tastes, but the biggest problem that nonreaders have, it seems to me, is an unwillingness to allow their imaginations off the leash and let it roam. The here and now is what holds their attention, not what could be or should be.
Truthfully, it takes practice for a person to enjoy reading. So in that light, what kind of movies do you enjoy? That'd give me a better idea of what you'd likely enjoy reading.

Careful, I don't think we're allowed to list things we like on this forum. That makes you a "snob," don't you know?

Just asking, 'cause yeah, the school system really tries to instill in us a deep and abiding loathing for literature by asking us to read the crappiest books they can find.
no no, cause and effect. i don't read much because i had to read those... well read most of each of em lol. Seriously though, if daddy drops 32k on your high school, and the strength is english... wouldn't you think they would do something like... cover a tom clancy book for ***** and giggles? make things more loose?
No, because they know you can pick his books up in the grocery store check out line and read it on your own time.
Kids tend to think that schools place "boring" books in the curricumlum because either that's what the teachers had liked or because the school lacked the imagination to include more interesting novels. What they fail to realize is that it is the exposure to various prose, styles, and subject matter which is the point of reading it. Not many will disagree that reading Beowulf in Old English is stilted or difficult, but if ease of consumption was the goal schools would have you read Archie comic books all day.
English class can be entertaining, but the primary function of that teacher is not to make you want to read, but to make you learn.
