I ended up ordering:
A Thousand Splendid Suns (http://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Splendid-Suns-Khaled-Hosseini/dp/1594489505/dreamindemon-20) by Khaled Hosseini, since it has been on the NYT Best Seller's List for so many weeks, and it sounded like an interesting book. I just received it yesterday, (with a couple other books) and I've briefly scanned through it. It looks like it is going to be an excellent read. I'll let everyone know when I've finished the book.
