Thanks Yellow, this is a great thread.

Here are a few I like.

A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Even if he did embellish it still is a powerful read.

Light on Snow by Anita Shreve.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. This one stuck with me.

Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner. Funny

Miles from Nowhere by Barbara Savage. Great book about bicycling.

Hey Mom, Can I Ride my Bike Across America by John S. Boettner. Geez, I loved the book, but I'd never let my kid ride across the country with this guy.

The Sue Grafton series is always a good mystery read too.
