Can we get a list for nonfiction as well? I’d love some suggestions!

For some reason, I thought THE ROAD was published in the late ’90s, Kevin, so thanks for that one.

My nomination would be The Book Thief by Mark Zusak, mostly because it’s such an utter black swan (a book about the Holocaust told by the Angel of Death!?) that probably had to be smuggled past a legion of gatekeepers who’d just as soon forget about this whole unpleasant part of the 20th Century. And how many years now has it been living on the NYT bestseller list?
