The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List discussion

I absolutely love this book, I've read it several times. Conroy's writing is so detailed and so lyrical I find myself reading his books slowly so I can catch every word. Some parts of the book are definitely brutal but it manages to be hopeful at the same time.

I have this on my bookshelf

This is one of my favorites. I have read it more than once. Great characters.
