Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, by Cheryl Strayed

hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe--and built her back
up again. Oprah's new Book Club pick!
Last Kind Words, by Tom Piccirilli
Resolving to pursue an honest life after his brother goes on a murderous rampage
and is sentenced to execution, Terrier Rand learns that his brother did not
commit one of the killings for which he was sentenced and resolves to learn what
really happened that day.
The Third Gate, by Lincoln Child
Believing he has discovered the burial chamber of a near-mythical Egyptian
pharaoh and a mystical double crown, famed archaeologist Porter Stone and his
team suffer bizarre accidents that Professor Jeremy Logan is brought in to
investigate.
The Red House, by Mark Haddon
Because of Haddon's extraordinary narrative technique, the stories of these
eight people are anything but simple. Told through the alternating viewpoints of
each character,
The Red House becomes a symphony of long-held grudges,
fading dreams and rising hopes, tightly-guarded secrets and illicit desires, all
adding up to a portrait of contemporary family life that is bittersweet, comic,
and deeply felt. As we come to know each character they become profoundly real
to us. We understand them, even as we come to realize they will never fully
understand each other, which is the tragicomedy of every family.
