Stardust, Neil Gaiman (SO different from the movie)
The Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck
The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova (weird and long, but GOOD)
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, T.S. Eliot (funny poetry, esp. if you like cats. Which you do)
Freakonomics, Two guys (It's about economics, but trust me, not boring.)
Outliers, Malcom Gladwell (About what exactly contributes to success)
1984, George Orwell (classic dystopian fiction)
A Walk in the Woods & other books by Bill Bryson (hilarious travel writing)
Till We Have Faces CSLewis (Retold Greek myth)

AHHHHHHH... Bill Bryson. I've always wanted to read one of his books and I never have because I always forget.

Yay, I have plenty of titles to hunt for now when I go back to the library.
