A brief mention of a couple books with Charles on the tour inspired this post.
While I'm not one to chew through a new book every week (or less), I do read a fair bit and always welcome new suggestions.
Anyone have any particular favorites that they have read?
I just finished The Road (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road) and would highly recommend it. It's a post apocalyptic novel about a father and son, their relationship and their survival. It reads very differently then a typical novel, so give it a few pages to get immersed into the groove. No chapters. No quotation, a lot of internal dialog. It does however read really fast once you get going.
For those into the more fantasy side of things, Check out the series A song of Ice and Fire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_song_of_ice_and_fire). It's a long epic type novel akin to LOTR, but much much less fantasy in way of "creatures". The first in the series is A Game of Thrones. The series technically isn't finished. There are 4 of the planned 7 books in circulation.
