I have a week and a half.

What should I read? (NO FUCKING SCI_FI!)

My wife recently read The Help by Kathryn Stockett. She thought it was really good, and she reads a lot and isn't easily impressed by a book.

It's the trendy book to read these days.

I can only recommend SF, so that's why you get this second hand recommendation.
