Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I loved it so much I've read it twice already.

This is a great book.

I Was Told There'd Be Cake is pretty fun

Ditto that! It's funny, short essays, so you can really start reading anywhere and you won't be lost after you put it down.

Sheri S Tepper's "Singer from the Sea" has me in its grasp at the moment. I adore this book.

It's a few years old, but 'Stumbling on Happiness' is awesome if you like psychology at all.

I second the Kingsolver nomination. Her prose is so lovely.

I don't know if you have Netflix, but I've recently discovered "Flight of the Conchords" [an HBO television series]. Not a book, I know, but it's the best thing to happen to me since Cadbury Creme Eggs.

I recently read Julie and Julia by Julie Powell and Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs. Loved them both.

your choice of Chuck

Choke- A story of a poor deluded boy who has a bad relationship with his mother.

Survivor - The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.

Both I just read recently and both are awesome..but then again, it is palahniuk, so I repeat myself....

Something from the Oven by Laura Shapiro. It's the history of food in post-war America. She explains why housewives never took to frozen formal dinners and canned cheese. You'd love it.
