I hope This helps, but if you're outside the US, then I'm useless.

how on earth has no one mentioned stephen king's 11/22/63?: http://www.amazon.com/11-22-63-Stephen-King/dp/1451627289

same basic thing as o'reilly's book: a fictional re-telling of a famous presidential assassination.

I liked 11/22/63. I recently went through Lisbon, ME, and went to Kennebec Fruit Co. Actually, I'm wearing my MOXIE shit now.

$0 is too much? :)

My hardcover is imitation leather with foil stamping, heavy paper, and full-color endsheets (thus the retail price). The retail price for Stephen King's book 11/22/63, for instance, is $35 (regular ol' hardcover).

I do, however, sell signed copies of my book for only $15.99 (with free shipping) from my own website here.

1.)11-22-63 By Stephen King

2.)9.5/10

3.)Historical Fiction, Time Travel, Romance

4.) I stayed engrossed with every single one of the 800+ pages. Although this was my first King novel, I'm certain that his avid readers will love this because the book includes references to past characters, cities etc.

I just finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline last night and absolutely loved it. I am definitely putting it on my re-read pile. Of the 25 or so books I've read this year so far, this one is definitely my favorite. So much fun and really fast paced.

I also recently finished reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It ends up being more of a beautiful love story journey than a time travel story and it's not horror although there are horrific things that happen in it. Definitely one of his better ones. The paperback is coming out soon but the Hardcover was I think about 849 pages so it will take awhile to get through.

Look into other Stephen King books, there are some monsters. "It". "The Stand", and "Under the Dome" are all over 1000 pages. There is also the Dark Tower series, there is about 7 or 8 books in it. I haven't read it yet but I plan to one day. A lot of people say this series is their favorite King work.

A Series I am still in the process of reading is called The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness, three books 1. The Knife of Never Letting Go, 2. The Ask and The Answer, 3. Monsters of Men. It's a fun series, I have read the first two. Humans have colonized another planet, there was a war with the indiginous alien population and humans were exposed to a germ that killed the women and made it so the men could all hear each others and all the animals thoughts, which they call The Noise. Todd, the main boy, begins to get into the secrets of his town and must escape, and he comes across a strange pocket of silence, a girl, and more secrets. Lots of fun.

My favorite book that I read in 2011, that I discovered on Reddit when someone made a comment about it, Genesis by Bernard Beckett. Futuristic Sci-fi story. Do not read any spoilers about this book, it will ruin it. Reading the synopsis on Amazon is OK but don't go into any more depth. It works best if you know as little as possible. All I will say is "I did not see that coming." I wish I knew who it was that made the comment I saw, because I would thank them. It's a very short book so you will blast through it in no time.

If you like YA books, I would suggest the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and all the other books written by the author Rick Riordan. The original series is 5 books but there is also a follow-up series called The Heroes of Olympus series with some of the same characters but a whole cast of new ones, so far there are 2 in that series out, the third comes in October. The author also has another series called The Kane Chronicles but instead of Greek mythology it's Egyptian. This one is a trilogy. They are really easy to ready but I find them fun. You can tell the author uses basically the same formula each time though.

You might not like this one but it's a popular YA series right now. The first book is called Divergent by Veronica Roth and the Sequel came out a few months back called Insurgent. It's very reminicient of Hunger Games, same tone, feel, and themes so you might not like it but I've enjoyed it so far. It's a dystopian future and takes place in what used to be known as Chicago.

I also enjoyed The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind (very strange but I really, really enjoyed it).

I read a book earlier this year called Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion and it's been one of favorites so far this year. The premise sounds odd and not good, like a Twilight rip-off or something but I was surprised at how good it was, there are many larger messages in it, than the initial plot synopsis. Zombie apocalypse but the story is told through the perspective of a zombie instead of the human. His name is 'R' and he lives in the airport with a bunch of other zombies. One day he eats the brains of this boy and takes his girlfriend hostage. As he continues to eat his brain, he experiences the memories of this boy and begins to fall for the girl. I know what you're thinking, necrophilia or some shit, but it doesn't actually get to that but it's hard to describe without giving the plot away. It's well written and the resolution to the story is wonderful, with a larger message about life. I really enjoyed this one.

Hope that helps a little.
