Default Here are some books I\'ve liked/disliked....Recommend me some new ones

Books I've liked:

A Confederacy of Dunces
The Stranger
Anything by Dan Brown
Anything by John Grisham

Generally, I like books with fast moving, exciting plots and minimal clutter in the writing style.

Books I've Disliked:

"Classics" like A Tale of 2 Cities, Shakespeare, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, etc.

Generally I dislike anything we are forced to read in class.

I hate cluttered, overly descriptive writing. I want to be able to read the book and understand it completely with minimal effort.
