This book, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox is definitely worth your time. It was our Sept/October selection. A young woman is institutionalized for 60 years and this short novel tells her story through the voices of 3 women. The story stays with you because you know this kind of thing actually happened to many women. The details of this story slowly unfold and the ending hits you hard. A book that really makes you think and feel.

One of the better books I've read lately is Flight by Sherman Alexie. Also, I think your book group would like The Dog Says How by MN humorist/writer Kevin Kling. It's G-rated Sedaris. Also I have heard that Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowel is funny and great in a Sedaris-like way.
