The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon
I couldn't put this book down. It is a fantastic story about 2 friends and their adventures in the post World War II comic book boom. A Pulitzer Prize winner, and worth every accolade. This isn't typically a subject that would interest me, but the writing is so beautiful, I was hooked on the first paragraph. I'm adding this to my Classics list because it is trully a modern epic.

If all goes well, the presidential election will be over by the time December rolls around. But that doesn't mean that the political spin will cease. For some, it may continue unabated throughout every day of the year. For that... If all goes well, the presidential election will be over by the time December rolls around. But that doesn't mean that the political spin will cease. For some, it may continue unabated throughout every day of the year. For that very special, politically minded person you know and love, give them a little fanciful and farcical grist for the mill: Christopher Buckley's newest story about a television judge appointed to the Supreme Court. Good gifting.

An intense look at the life of a teenager. The story is told through a series of letters written to a friend by the narrator. It explores hot topics such as drug use, abuse and sexuality.

This is a depressing but really well written story of a father and son at the end of humanity (literally).

"Pi, the precocious animal-loving son of an Indian zookeeper, loses his family in a shipwreck en route to North America--and is left alone in a lifeboat with a man-eating Bengal tiger named Richard Parker." Need they say more?

(The Mongoliasection is particularly potent) Highly recommended for those who like inventive, twisted, but very smart and enduring novels
