The best thing I've read in the last while was "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe."
Obviously the movie adaptation "Fried Green Tomatoes" was very popular, but the book is a fantastic example of well-crafted storytelling. It's also a very light read, so it's hard to put down and easy to pick up again.
I've never seen the movie, so can't comment on how the two compare, but if you're looking for a good yarn, this is one of the better ones I've come across.
