I will include audiobooks based on content, not narration. Genre is up for grabs. What and why?

This could be something you could pick up and read anytime, the one book you would take to a desert island, whatever. Have at it.

Was a terrible movie based on a small part of this book. Do not confuse it with this powerful book.

Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Horror, sci fi, dystopia, and fantasy all tied into one

The Alienist - Caleb Carr

(Also like the aforementioned Power of One and Dune. Alienist is dark, but a great mystery and period fiction novel)

Son of Laughter - Frederick Buechner

Brings the ancient, obscure, and mysterious world down to earth in a moving way. I was bawling and blowing snot bubbles at one point.

The Source by James Michener. Easily his best book imho - and that's saying something.

That was an excellent book. I am working my way through all the Pulitzer Prize winners and this one was fantastic.
