After years of being too occupied with finishing my English degree (which required a lot of reading), I finally have time to read for pleasure and self-improvement, and so I went and got a library card for my public library. I am enjoying it thus far, but I would appreciate some recommendations.
So, in a similar vein to Halx's "I Have Netflix" thread, I would like to ask the general TFP audience--what should I read? Here is a link to the library catalog, should you desire to double-check that the book in question is in fact in the collection prior to your recommendation:

I would ask that you avoid recommending 1) Ayn Rand and 2) British literature from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Pretty much anything else is fair game. Thanks in advance!
