Im a new recreational reader. I started with 'The Road.' That one never picked up and actually was still good. Later I found out it was on purpose which makes sense though was a tough read for someone who has a hard time paying attention. I got Cormac McCarthy's other book 'All the Pretty Horses' and I hear it doesnt pick up until page like 70 or so. Im gonna tough out the first 100 and see how it is then, but for my next book. I want something that hooks you right away. Thoughts?

The Way of Kings by Sanderson grabbed me with that opening scene – dude literally walking through a storm with rocks flying everywhere, pretty hard to put down after that.
No Country for Old Men is very accessible Cormac McCarthy that zips along from the first page.
Recently read The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens and it hooked me very early on, great book!
