The first book I have read in 1 year and 8 months! It was The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri for the new book club I just joined (picked out by yours truly). The book jacket describes it as about "the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the tangled ties between generations." It was about an Indian family's experiences in the Northeastern US. Very compelling.
The last book I read before this one, it was March 2005 and I was 4 months pregnant with Axel and it just took too much time to get in any more from then till now! That book was The Effects of Living Backwards by Heidi Julavits. That book was very different and sometimes hard to follow, but I recall liking it overall.
