I would also add Bill Bryson's "Thunderbolt Kid" to the list.

I highly recommend The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It is historical fiction with characters one cares about. The period is the holocaust from a rural German perspective. Lost, life, hope sure to offer lots of discussion for book clubs.

The Time Traveler's Wife is a life changing, incredible read. Also recommend for stressed early childhood educators - "Women's Best Travel Writing" - 2006, 2005, any year - take yourself away!

Love to have book lists! One more suggestion: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
Millburn, NJ, United States
I'm amazed that I haven't read a single one on your list - and last year, I had read almost all of them. Adding another to the list - Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.
