Welcome, mookie! Did you enjoy The Road? It's one I love, I have to admit--if you did, you should read his Outer Dark as well :)

Thanks whitewave! I enjoyed The Road very much and I'm curious to see how the movie will be. This was my first by McCarthy...I'll put Outer Dark on the wishlist. Thanks for the suggestion!

20. Sail by James Patterson

Patterson does a nice job of mixing mystery, suspense, and court drama in his latest collaboration with Howard Roughan. A vast improvement from their last work, You've Been Warned.

Welcome, mookie! I'm going to be reading The Road real soon. I'm not that fond of dystopian fiction--they make me too anxious--so have put this one off, but have heard good things about it, and already bought the book, so will have a go. Glad to hear you liked it.
