Inkheart
For anyone who loves to read, whether child or adult, this is a great fantasy story. I wish I'd had this when I was young. It has the potential of becoming a classic. Bought this for my 12 year old niece for Christmas.

Choke
Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2008
Funny, strange, disturbing, good
This is the first Palahniuk book I've read, and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Based upon the description of the book, this isn't one that I'd likely pick up to read...the redemption/recovery/whatever you call it of a sex addict just didn't seem that ...

All the Pretty Horses
Cormac Mccarthy
Vintage, 1993
Definitely a Acquired Taste
I have looked at some of the reviews here, and am a bit surprised as the number of people who hated this book. It is a challenge to read, but this is no "Ulysses." The main themes can be understood with a little careful attention. Some have compared McCarthy's style to ...
