He didn't ask for books that take a lifetime to read.
Seriously,
I am Charlotte Simmons Tom Wolfe
Angela's Ashes Frank McCourt
Germs, Guns, and Steel Jarrod Diamond
The God Delusion Richard Dawkins

Wow, I've actually read three out of those four and hope to read Germs, Guns, and Steel.
I liked 'I am Charlotte Simmons" but if you want to read a better and more highly praised Tom Wolfe book read "Bonfire of the Vanities". It's the best book written about the eighties (and the worse movie adaptation).
