[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, you just asked for fiction, but I just finished Wild, by Cheryl Strayed.  I know I'm two years too late to the party (this book was HUGE a couple of years ago) but it's being turned into a movie with Reese witherspoon that is getting a lot of buzz (the screenplay was adapted by Nick Hornby, who is a great writer himself - his fiction is really good) and will be out later this year, I think.

Several years ago I read read Bill Bryson, A walk in the Woods, which is a slightly similar story to Wild in that it's the story of someone unprepared hiking a long trail (Appalachian for Bryson, Pacific Crest for Strayed).  Wild is more emotionally compelling, but Bryson is HILARIOUS.

If you like Bill Bryson, digging into his past works would make for some reply good laughs.

And definitely get into GoodReads.  great way to track your books and also get recommendations.  I've been surprised by how many Facebook friends from my childhood are on, and I've learned about some good books through them.  [/quote]
