The Road just now. Thought it was quite good, though the writing style was a bit difficult to get into at first. No quotation marks, barely any punctuation, and some rather odd sentences. And his whole sentence structure is off kilter.
That said, I love anything that is post-apocalyptic, and thought that this vision of the future was wonderfully bleak. Good story and good characterization. On to my next book.
