The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is very good. I have heard about it like crazy and finally got around to reading it. It is the true story of Walls' childhood. Walls' father was a raging alcoholic and her mother is an "artist" who couldn't be bothered with work. Walls has one brother and two sisters. They managed to scrape by and eventually got themselves out of the horrible living situation with their parents. It's very inspiring. I think this would make a great book for a book club. I wouldn't describe it as a page-turner, but it is worth reading.
