  1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. It was the first time I was ever swept into a book and if I hadn't read it when I did, at the age of eight or nine, I don't know if I would be reading a quarter of a century later.
  2. Thanks for all the comments! I think everyone here is failing to see the irony and satire of the list. Do I agree with all of the items on the list? Do they represent my true opinions? As someone who loves to read, no, they don't. The point of the list is to mock the increasing number of people who don't read, and to provide some insight into the reasons why they don't.
  3. The Road is the best book of the 21st century, IMHO. For a book with such simple, stripped down language, it's incredibly vivid and stays with you. I put it down six months ago and still think about it. I've also read No Country For Old Men and Blood Meridian, both of which I enjoyed. Which McCarthy book should I read next?
  4. Do you ever contemplate why nobody seems to read books anymore? Read this list, I think you might enjoy it: The Top Ten Reasons Why People Don't Read Books Anymore.
  5. "It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not." City of Glass by Paul Auster
