[Quiet Man Cometh]

For my own part, two of favourite books of all time, and relatively short and easy to read, are Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, and All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

If you happen to pick up Frankenstein and read the preface, don't let it scare you. There's rumour it was written by Percy Shelley adn it shows it. It's something of a pain to get through but the book itself is quite easy. I'd love to read more Erich Maria Remarque books but finding anything other than All Quiet that isn't either German or really expensive hardcover edition is proving very difficult. I've been keeping an eye out for years and have only found one other that I've yet to read, and I found that in my mom's massive book collection while sorting it.
