"From a Buick 8" by Stephen King.
I first read it about eight years ago. I buy everything that guy writes. Okay, he may be regarded as a pulp fictioner, but I venture to assert that he will be remembered when the Norman Mailers, the Philip Roths and the Calvin Bossetierres will be forgotten. His particular genre happens to be classified as "horror fiction" but he is much more than that. (Trust me - I am a Beethoven fan.) I discovered King in 1979. I hope you all know that he wrote the original novellas which were filmed as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Stand By Me".
Oh, and "The Green Mile".
