Another Book Post! Help please.

So Monday is our big book club "Pick the year" Party.  I have to bring and sell my suggestions.  The only requirement is that it must be available in paperback.  

This is our 17th year, and we have read pretty much every sort of book.  We do not much like classics, but otherwise, what do you want to read or read and loved.  

This is our 2015 list:
Lord of Misrule
Born To Run
The Mockingbird Next Door
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian
I'll Drink to That
City of Women
Encyclopedia Of An Ordinary Life
The Rosie Project
Quiet: The Power of Introverts In a World That Can't Stop Talking
The Boys in the Boat
The Cellist of Sarajevo

The Rosie Project, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, and Quiet were my three favorites, and I liked the Boys in the Boat, though it could have used less rowing.

Station 11 and All the Light We Cannot See were two of my faves from last year. Both are good for book groups. Not sure, but I think they are available in paperback.

You may have already read some of these, but what about these:

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel

The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton

Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe

The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
The Truth Machine by James Halperin
Geek Love by by Katherine Dunn
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Calling Invisible Women by Jeanne Ray

These were all huge hits with my book club. Some are light and funny, some are dark, but they all offer a lot to discuss.

I second The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. Other suggestions include Euphoria, Dept of Speculation & So You've Been Publically Shamed. My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante might be great too!
