    for me it has to be Friday Night Lights...the book is great...since im a sports junkie that makes it even better..I feel like the vocabulary and the authors use of words put the movie to shame...The movie, show and book are all classics though

    Anything by Mick Foley's been great... Stephen King's Pet Cemetary and Gerald's Game were awesome.

    Hatchet and The Count of Monte Cristo. Those books are genius. I liked Hatchet when I was too young for The Count. Shakespeare would be great if one could understand it.

Southlake is like number 2 in the nation. Just thought I'd share that since you liked this book. I personally love the book Fight Club. If you thought the movie was good, the book is in my opinion better. Pretty much anything by Chuck Palanuick is good and has a great twist somewhere in it.

    ^I got so hooked on Driven from Within' when I bought it in Florida. I read it in a day, and I read it again about a week ago.

    All Souls by Michael Patrick MacDonald. It's about a family in South Boston from the 60's-70's that gets totally messed up from the irish mafia, drugs, and just the violence that was going on there during that time period. Extremely depressing and sad, but I couldn't put the thing down and even I hate to read.
