Stephen King's The Stand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stand) and Robert R. McCammon's Swan Song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Song_%28novel%29). Of course, only if you are into horror stuff (although the horror parts are quite minimum here).

Richard Matheson's "I am Legend" was pretty interesting, a while back.

Like most King books, The Stand is great during the first three quarters of the book, and then it goes WAY down. If only there was someone with a huge baseball bat standing behind Stephen King while he was writing so he could knock him out in time before he turned the story into drivel.

Same thing with The Running Man.

While it's not a book, The Age of Apocolypse is great.

The Exception being Tommyknockers.. that is probably the only book that put me to sleep.. how the hell can he write 400+ pages about a woman digging??
