"A Great Improvisation...Franklin, France and the Birth of America" by Stacy Schiff. Pulitzer winner , 2005. The first 50 pages can be overwhelming w/ so many personalities to keep track of, but I was reading passages aloud to my wife every few pages. I have a new appreciation for diplomacy, generosity, the complexity of history, the national cultures of France and America, the rollercoasting nature of events, and the wonder of not knowing what could happen next. Not to mention of Franklin himself. Whew! mathew (and others),

I'd put The Road over No Country for Old Men. There's a stark beauty in the way McCarthy captures the father-son traveling that I haven't found in the other books of his that I've read.
