Open Thread: Your Recommended Reads...

I love books. Some of my favorite authors are Robbins, Allende, Homer, Vonnegut, Sagan, Burroughs, Tan, and on and on... Lately I've been reading and reading and reading, but it's been awhile since getting lost in a good story. Intersection readers are encouraged to make recommendations here in an open thread. Share the titles you couldn't put down, tell us why (without giving too much away!), and together let's come up with ideas for embarking on the next great literary adventure!
