MIchael, I hope you enjoy The Poisonwood Bible. I started it when it first came out and couldn't get through it, but I listened to it this spring and absolutely loved it (and I normally don't care for audio books).

When I had a bad time and didn't want to read anything at all, starting the Vesuvius Club got me back on track, so now I want to read the entire series :).
