I have read many of the books listed here--there are some really good ones (Marley & Me should be read by anyone who has or have had dogs, especially labradors -- it's very funny)!
Some others I've read this year are:
Montana 1948 by Larry Watson
Water for Elephants and Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (read a couple years ago)
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Body Surfing by Anita Shreve
Windchill Summer by Norris Church Mailer (she also has a new one out that I will be reading next--she is coming to my book group's meeting in October)
