If you like Cormac McCarthy read his absolute masterpeice 'Blood Meridian' it's extremely confronting but fantastically real. It's a Western but the characters are just so repulsive, violent and unpredictable it's almost like reading a horror story.
They have been trying to make a movie for years but the narrative is just so erratic it's hard to fit into a contemporary structure.
Also if you love historical fiction read anything written by Bernard Cornwell particularly his Arthurian Trilogy the definitive spin on the legend.

That was a really good book. I read it over Christmas. I always love the twist in COurtney's books.

Supposed to be a classic, Its so Dry…
Best book I have read in Years was "Les Miserables" Victory Hugo.
Lets hear some recommendations....

Courtney always has a wicked twist. Read Jessica? THAT one threw me for a 6\. The ending of Danny Dunn had me in tears. Such a sad tale … Having had a couple of great uncles in WW2, and having read Uncle Bob's book (On Paths of Ashes - Edited by my cousin, Robyn Moss), and being set in Balmain, I really got absorbed in to it.
I have to say though, that I believe Courtney's most poignant book is April Fool's Day. It's a sort of biography of his son's life. He was born a heamopheliac, and contracted AIDS. He passed on April Fool's Day. Absolute tear jerker.

Really enjoy all James A Micheners books . Centennial would be my favourite (Yes us oldies might remember the TV series in the 70's) and the other is a brilliant book called The Bridge to Andau . Is a magnificent story about the people of Hungary and their struggles with their attempted overthrow of Communist Russia just before the Melbourne Olympics . Unbelieveable story .
Re-reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins at the moment. Obviously if you're religious steer clear of this one.
As far as fiction books go, Tom Clancy novels are always a winner, will read Rainbow Six again after I finish Dawkins' book. I'm not a huge fan of fiction TBH.
I recommend "A Brief History of Time" to anyone. Stephen Hawking is a genius and delivers this book in a factual and humourous manner.
Mein Kampf is on the to read list. Everyone I know who have read it have raved about it.
