What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this once, and found it fascinating and I can't remember the author, or the correct title. I know his last name begins with a 'T'...

John, around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

That's a start, but we need much more information in the header/topic title at the top of the page. Many members only read the headers. We have thousands of book requests, so threads with vague headers are closed.

Copy the genre (also: for adults or teens?) and plot details from your message #1 to the header by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

What's the genre?
Fiction or nonfiction?
We need much more information from you.

OP (original poster) account is deleted. Moving thread to the "Now we'll never know" folder.
