I read this for an upcoming book club and really enjoyed it. It's a novel that doesn't quite follow the typical structure. The overall book is set up as a syllabus of a college class, so each chapter has the name of some literary work. It's part mystery, part coming of age with some sly humor and fascinating characters. Curl up with this and a mug of tea and watch time and surroundings fade as you visit North Carolina for a while.
The website for it is also well done, though part of me would suggest that you finish the book before visiting.
And don't worry, all you science-phobes, it has nothing to do with physics.
Off the Shelf ought to have it, but even if they have to order it, it will arrive within a day or two.
