Perhaps you should read some positive *and* negative reviews first.

Many of the books suggested in this thread do not appeal to me, and I guess, that you wouldn't like books that I personally find amazing.

It might be a good idea to go to Goodreads site, register AND fill in your rating for the books you like and dislike. Then you can use their recommendation system, or you can read books that other people (that like the same books as you) rated high.

Well since you now veered off topic..... WARNING! WARNING! Some people find The Road full of hope.
