This is extremely difficult! I will say though, due to the fact that 9 Dragons is part of a series and it is the 15th book of the series, I would rather read the other 14 first. I haven't read any of them, meaning I have no idea if they need to be read in order. Just a thought.

You got that right!

Would have loved to read No Country before I saw the great movie. Have already read Lincoln Lawyer and seen the movie, so tough to think about rehashing that for a third time.

Plenty of other choices, Dennis. I've read Lincoln Lawyer, too. Never saw the movie, tho. Hope the other books interest you.

I wish I had caught that before agreeing to take the nomination. I really don't want to have a book that starts in the middle of a series.

Breed just seemed the creepiest of the lot. Have read many of the others already. Kind of surprised to see a Picoult novel on a King pick. :) Sawtelle is one of my favorite books but I've noticed it gets a wide range of ratings.
Just curious - has anyone on here checked out King's latest Dark Tower offering, said to be more of a book 4.5 in the series?
Also, I have Infinite Jest on my Nook and boy is that a tough book! Only about 100 pages in...

The Wind Through the Keyhole was excellent, Michelle. I love the Dark Tower series, and enjoyed going back into that world.

Breed is a very strange book. I really enjoyed it. It's a mixture of horror and satire. Weird stuff.

King said this about our Picoult nomination: "You men out there who think Ms. Picoult is a chick thing need to get with the program. Her books are an everyone thing, and the current offering — about a little girl whose bones are so brittle that they break almost at a puff of wind — is her best since My Sister's Keeper. It's a legal/medical thriller, but at bottom it's a story about the American heart of darkness: a small-town marriage under stress. Picoult writes with unassuming brilliance and never descends into soap opera."

I'll get to Sawtelle one of these days. I picked up a used copy from the library a while back.

I will get to Infinite Jest once I'm better recuperated from my cancer treatments. I've heard it is a tough one!

I'm going to send an email disqualifying Six Dragons because it is 15th in a series. So those of you who voted for it, please change your votes.

I think I could read any of them! Good list!

Yes, it is a good list. Hard to choose one.
