[quote=Anonymous]One of my greatest pleasures is reading a great, entertaining book on a beach. I read 7 books on my 8 day honeymoon (and had plenty of time with DH, too).  This time, we'll be with our kids and I know there won't be quite as much time to read, which is why I need to pack only good books that will be worth my time reading.  I want those kind of books that sweep you into the story, where you don't want to put it down and you think of the characters while you're doing other things.  I can't handle heavy literature right now, nor can I handle chick lit.  Also, nothing too depressing. (I thought the Kite Runner was beautiful, but I read it on a vacation years ago and it really stayed with me and kind of bummed me out for a few days of our trip).  Any suggestions?

For anyone else looking for some good vacation reads, here are some I've read in the past and would consider good vacation books:
The Poisonwood Bible
Jackdaws
The Cuckoo's Calling
All the Light We Cannot See
Where'd You Go Bernadette
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 
Bel Canto
Unbroken (yes, depressing, but still great)
The Glass Castle[/quote]
