Get Shorty is one of my favorites, but you've probably seen the movie so you won't enjoy it as much. I also really enjoyed Maximum Bob, Freaky Deaky, Killshot, Tishomingo Blues, Rum Punch, Out of Sight, The Big Bounce. Elmore Leonard has had a bunch of his books made into movies, and the movies rarely do the books justice (Stick, 52 Pick Up, Jackie Brown, Out of Sight, The Big Bounce, Be Cool).
