I don't know anybody of those books, but I recently read Gone Girl and think it would be a great vacation book!

The Imperfectionists

Let the Great World Spin

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling (a very funny, light read that I didn't think I'd like, but I did).

Here are a few non-fiction books I liked

Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Poser by Claire Deder
Unbroken by Laura Hillendbrand

Looking at the list it is funny to see that they are all just one-word titles. All very different topics but equally engaging and interesting without being too depressing or dry.

The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. It's about Queen Elizabeth developing a passion for reading, but really it's about the pleasures of reading. It's hilarious, and it's really short, about 58 pages on my Nook.

+1, I'd like to hear peoples' opinions on whether Bringing up the Bodies is as good as Wolf Hall.

I liked it a lot- and I think it would be a good vacation read. It is much faster-paced, with more direct writing than Wolf Hall, at the same time the characterization of Cromwell gets more complex and darker.
