Any of the books by James Patterson, Dean Koonz, or Mary Higgins Clark are very good!

Rabbit, Run by John Updike

Here's an Amazon review:
This is a Great Book - it must be - the NYT and other literary experts say so. Rabbit's life is awful - his wife's a drunk, his job sucks, nothing is really what he thought life would be. He tries to run away and fails at that too. According to Time magazine, Rabbit Angstrom is "an unflinchingly authentic specimen of American manhood". Yikes! Let's hope not - but maybe there is more truth in it than one likes to admit.

It's hard not to recommend reading this book even though reading it is really not an enjoyable experience. Rabbit evoked powerful emotions in this reader - especially anger and depression; maybe a little anxiety. You are almost guaranteed to feel worse after you read this book - especially if you can identify with any part Angstrom's angst. On the other hand, the mature reader (er, middle-aged) who has experienced the fullness of life's sorrows may sort of shrug at Rabbit as if to say 'what did you expect from life? Pull yourself together, son.'

Read at your own risk.

i won't be able to have self belief he would not like Dickens or King! it is absurd! Dickens replaced into possibly the final author, and King is possibly the final suspense author EVER! attempt some thing widely used, i assume. perhaps seem at your instructor's bookshelf and see what kinds of issues he likes. i do no longer understand. yet your instructor is an ignorant imbecile from what it appears that evidently like.
