For me, it's a toss up between Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Jitterbug Perfume. I'd probably recommend the later. I also thought Fierce Invalids... was quite good.

Don't listen to them! Milan Kundera is amazing and The Unbearable Lightness of Being is a perfect existential love story to go along with the fall weather we've been having. It's easily one of my favorite novels.
