When I first moved here and we went to the back store in Troy, I picked up a copy of "the nightingales of troy". It was actually really great- it is a collection of short stories about (fiction) a family of women who grew up in the Troy area.
Have you ever read any Carson McCullers? Not totally modern, but I love her.
On the road is a pretty fast read if you are curious about Kerouac.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was one of the best reads I've had in ages. I think you'd like it too. The trade pbk. isbn is 0385341008.
