Weekend Writing Discussion: Help Us Pick Out Some Books For Mark And His Wife!

A couple weeks ago, I received an email from an old work buddy of mine. I have been too busy lately with freelance work, my work in progress, and the news of my publishing deal to give this question much thought...

And so, today I will cease being a poor correspondent for Mark. I am putting this question in *your* collective hands, Dear Reader. Help Mark out! What should he and his wife read?

Here is the original email:

Jordan! I was wondering if you could offer me a few reading suggestions. My wife and I are reading together every night before bed. She doesn't care much for fantasy, and I don't care much for chick lit. We've had some difficulty deciding beyond the three or four books we've picked out. We're trying to keep the books kind of light. Since it's right before bed we don't want a book that involves a lot of thought or mental gymnastics. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

In a followup email, he mentioned that they are currently reading A Wrinkle In Time, and that they later plan to read both Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby.

Let's have it, people! What should Mark and his wife read? (Throw any suggestions you can think of out there; the goal here is for other people to discover excellent new reading ideas as well.)
