So I want everyone who reads this to take a second to leave a comment with one book they'd like to read. Otherwise we'll be stuck with all of my and about 2 other people's choices, which I guess I wouldn't entirely mind.
And here are some of the suggestions so far:
The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Literary Society
Daniel Deronda by George Elliott
Vanity Fair by William Thackeray
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Rough Stone Rolling by Richard Lyman Bushman (scheduled many months in advance to give us time!)
Les Mis by Victor Hugo (also scheduled well in advance)
Thanks!

You know Amy, I was in the Oconee Library the other day and saw a video of "The Ed of Little Tree." Have you seen it? Is it any good? We should read that book.
Celeste, your suggestions are so spot on that actually we've already read two of them--The Lovely Bones and Dorian Gray. I particularly liked DG. I still think of parts of it fairly regularly.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
I've been curious about The Life of Pi, too. Read The Screwtape Letters before...I enjoyed it.
