Read any good books lately?

Hey, y'all. I'm a big reader, but have gotten out of the habbit. :( I'm going to Waldenbooks tomorrow and wanted to know if there's anything really good that you'd recommend. I like any type, but prefer non-fiction. Lately the only thing I read is People magazine, lol.

Well this is one I plan on picking up.
Nora, Nora: A Novel
by Anne Rivers Siddons
At twelve, Peyton McKenzie isn't ready to share her widowed father with anyone, let alone Nora, her redheaded, cigarette-smoking cousin who just rolled into town behind the wheel of a pink Thunderbird. But her father seems to like Nora, and she does make for good conversation with her friends at the Losers Club, and prim Aunt Augusta hates her, which means she can't be all bad. In fact, maybe Nora is just what quiet Lytton, Georgia, needs this summer.
And when Nora takes a job teaching the first integrated honors class at the local high school, it looks like she might stay forever. But it becomes clear that something is troubling her. Peyton knows it's more than the local gossips who don't like Nora's "unsouthern" ways. When the shocking truth comes to light, it will stun this small segregated town and, more importantly, teach Peyton a lesson she will never forget about love and its enormous cost.
You know we need to try the book club again. When we tried it before I was busy with something else, but I love reading so much that I think I could help keep it going.
