“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.
I know this will sound lame but honestly Peter Jameson’s Secret Language. It made me feel very “patriotic” (for lack of a better word) for Esperantujo.
