18. Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo

Fantastic! It has very little plot and yet is a page-turner with many laugh-out-loud passages along with profound observations by its flawed characters in a small town.

Immediately after finishing it, downloaded "Everybody's Fool" in the same small town a decade later.

I usually read only mysteries and now it is a mystery to me why I never found this award-winning author before now.
