The Road is really good for both. Lord of the Rings for pure entertainment is good. And I haven't read fight club, but the movie kicks ass.

a clockwork orange was dope as a book, i turned the movie off 10 min in, so as not to ruin it for myself. reading it fucks with your head tho, i started thinking in cockney slang.
