I found that Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird was really easy for me to learn with a slide, it was the first song that I learned how to played with a slide. It's not that terribly difficult, there's my suggestion

tune to an open tuning then play a 12 bar

doesn't get much easier than that

Boot Hill by Stevie Ray Vaughn has a cool opening slide thing, and various other parts during the song, not too difficult either.

Mazzy Star "Fade into me" really easy slide solo

there are a couple of STP songs that use slides. Really good tunes. That guy is a helluva guitarist so you may not want to start with that stuff.

You want a fun effect, try using a slide and a whammy pedal together. Whew. Sounds like something from outerspace.

Find a tab of the opening slide solo from Pink Floyd's "Breathe," off of Dark Side of the Moon. There's a cool solo. If you find a friend to play rhythm guitar (it's really simple chords), it makes a nice coffehouse piece.
