The Road. Awesome book. Well written, albeit in McCarthy's strange way. Not light and perky, but I'm sure you knew that before you bought it.
Pillars of the Earth. This book held the title as my favorite book for a few years. Be prepared for some long nights. I found it really hard to put this book down to go to sleep some nights. Definitely Follet's best.
Prince of Tides. If you like Pat Conroy you'll like this book. I actually liked Lords of Discipline and Beach Music (I know, I'm a chick) better than Prince of Tides, but I really liked this as well. Conroy is a really fluid writer.
Brave New World. Haven't read this since High School, but it is not as good as 1984 in my recollection, but it was a long time ago.
