I just read All the King's Men. I avoided it through college because it seemed like a book you were supposed to read. my wife gave it to me for Christmas and I read it on spring break. It was mind blowing good. The language was like swimming in single barrel bourbon.

Also read Cold Mountain. (She was in the southern lit section of the bookstore, she wisely avoided To Kill a Mockingbird because she knew I had read it.) Another fabuous read. Completely different than the movie. It was written with a unique perspective that was hard to get into but once you did it sucked you in and never let go.
