My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Still reading, but it's really descriptive and well-paced, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's conservative/offended by liberal viewpoints because she has really laissez-faire attitudes and does it so flagrantly.

Will probably get it when I have the chance to.
