Killing Lincoln. It was a very pleasant surprise.
Historically accurate and very well written.

Disagree. I thought the book was excellent. It is one of the few where the movie and book are both great.

ETA: A closer look. Image is large, don't want to stretch the page a mile.
The Wheel of Time
Over 11,000 pages. 4m+ words. Love.
Oh, and it isn't done yet. One book left.

At least you're trying to start him slow. I mean shit, why not just say "hey, you want to read, you should read Finnegan's Wake."

Great book. I liked Cat's Cradle best, but BoC, Slaughterhouse 5, and Galapagos were all really good.

I'm also a big fan of 'The Plague' - Albert Camus.
It's much more complex and thought provoking than Breakfast but Breakfast is much more funny and entertaining, IMO.
