Recommendations for Future Book Forums?

Any suggestions for books for our three forums in 2009-2010? Our committee always wrestles with these decisions, so feel free to suggest a book. Just leave a comment and we'll be glad to take a look.

Here are our general criteria:

• Available in paperback - our budget has limits.
• Relatively short books – we try to avoid long books such as War and Peace or Moby Dick.
• Elements in the book that lend themselves to lively discussions.
• Readable - we are looking for books that interest a diverse audience.
• Typically works of fiction, although a non-fiction book that appeals to a wide audience would be good, too.
• A book worthy of attention from a university.

Perhaps the highest compliment for a book selection is when someone says, "I probably wouldn't have read that book on my own, but I sure am glad that I read it."
