Penelope Lively's 1973 "The Ghost of Thomas Kempe" was a quick and fun read.

I'm reading Nicholas Sparks' At First Sight
From Booklist
The relationship between journalist Jeremy Marsh and librarian Lexie Darnell that began in True Believer (2005) has now progressed. Jeremy is moving from New York to Boone Creek, North Carolina, as they plan for their wedding and the birth of their child. A friend of Jeremy's warns him that he really doesn't know Lexie, and asks him if he's sure that he's in love. With the seeds of suspicion planted, Jeremy starts receiving mysterious e-mails that also cast doubt on their relationship. Add to that the fact that he is dealing with writer's block and that he has to come to terms with a change in lifestyle as an urbanite now living in the rural South. This is a man under duress. To avoid gossip, he and Lexie are maintaining separate residences and keeping the pregnancy a secret. Lexie is comfortable with the town's rules of behavior, but Jeremy is at a loss and finds himself tense and unsure about the future of what he thought was the perfect match. With his trademark sensitivity, Sparks delves into the nitty-gritty of relationships, and considers the sacrifices that each partner has to make in order to have a successful marriage. And readers beware: this is multiple-hankie romance. Patty Engelmann

<I'm in the middle of Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore.
The Women of Brewster Place - by Gloria Naylor. The genre is contemporary African-American fiction. The story is set in an old, worn out block on a dead end street in some unnamed northern American city. The book is really a series of short stories about the lives of the women on this block - who they are, why they ended up on Brewster Place, and their current struggles.
I read the book when I was in my late teens and thought I would read it again - see how my perspective has changed.
