I'm a huge reader. All types of books.....sports, gambling, gangsters, novels, bios, etc.

But since you asked for my ONE favorite book of all, that's what I'll offer up.

Without a doubt, it's "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It was a movie about a year or so ago, but the book is 1000 times better. This is the same guy who wrote "No Country for Old Men".

It is a post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father and his young son over a period of several months, across a landscape blasted by an unspecified cataclysm that has destroyed much of civilization and, in the intervening years, almost all life on earth.

Its a very quick read, but extremely intense. Hands down the best book I've ever read.
