Absolutely loved it. Blood Meridian is very good, but much less accessible than The Road. If you haven't read All The Pretty Horses by McCarthy, I would pick that one up first. Kavilier and Clay is also very good, and extremely readable. Finally, if you liked Brothers K, then check out Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. Similar themes and writing style with knockout ending that will leave you in tears. Jayber Crow is the place to start with Berry’s fiction. Absolutely loved it.

Lewis, "What is the What" - Dave Eggers, "Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley, and/or "The Hobbit" - J.R.R. Tolkien If I may, I’d recommend “Gilead” – Marilynne Robinson, “Til We Have Faces” – C.S.

I am also a fan of Palahnuik, but Cormac McCarthy transcends anything that he's written. Put Blood Meridian at the top.

This book, coupled with "The Stupidest Angel" is why Christopher Moore cracks me the freak up. Dude, I can’t wait to hear what you think of “Lamb” if you do indeed give it a read.
