We The Living: Ayn Rand, because no book has ever made me cry so hard
Atlas Shrugged: Ayn Rand, because no book has ever challenged the way I view people so much
Pillars of the Earth: Ken Follett, because there is no book as epic and riveting
The Road: Cormac McCarthy, because there's no other book so minimalistically dazzling and heartbreaking
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell: Susanna Clarke, because I've never read a book by a contemporary author with such a captivating story AND so beautifully written--every sentence is close to perfect.

Oh, I love The Road. I think it's an AP book now too (took the AP test this week, and it was on the list of 'suggested topic choices'. I wrote about Frankenstein though). Very good work of post-apocalypse fiction. I cried. D:

Good Omens!

But seriously, pick up a copy of Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and join us for the June-July fiction discussion. It's funny, irreverent, and raises very interesting questions about religion and the nature of God and humanity, all in a very Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Monty Python sort of way. Both Gaiman and Pratchett write in the realm of science fiction/fantasy, which isn't too far off from horror, which you must like if you like Stephen King, so I think it would be a good fit, and we'd love to have you in the forum!

Think about it...we'll be there.

Thanks, I will look that one up. Seems like my cup of tea. The book "Lessons from an Evil Mind" was kind of like that made you wonder about things (not a funny book though)...Ill have to buy "Good Omens"
