What fun!
Three books i'm rather embarrassed to have looked at:
The Whole Truth by David Baldacci
The Montawk Project (author whose name I don't remember)
Faerie Tale by Raymond E Feist
Also, i'd vote on group read but am sort of in the middle of GR. . .

I'm thrilled to know that you're not counting literary atrocities against me; I remember reading Danielle Steel out of desperation in Moscow back in the 90s. Admittedly I only got as far as page 10 or thereabouts (I then found a copy of Mason and Dixon), but it still counts as atrocious.
