What are the very best books for book clubs to read?

Our library just got a grant. The librarian has asked my help in choosing book sets for book clubs. We'll get 5-10 copies of one book along with discussion questions. Since I have a book club, she asked me to help choose the books. We'll only get about 10-15 titles, so I need books that appeal to lots of people with most if not all having less than 500 pages. I'm not looking for a link with thousands of book club titles. I'd like to hear what your reading group has enjoyed the most ;)What are the very best books for book clubs to read?

I'm not in a book club, and I don't read books based on popular opinion. I like to think that each individual has a right to read what appeals to him/her. For instance, I'm fascinated by WWII aviation, so I read a lot of books about aces, the Battle of Britain, etc. But I dont expect non-enthusiasts to have my taste in reading materials. I can't stand a lot of "popular" authors like Danielle Steele and Stephen King, but those books are probably better for book club readers. Don't read anything recommended by Oprah. The woman has NO freaking taste whatsoever!!What are the very best books for book clubs to read?
The Devil in White City is a wonderful book and is nonfiction. It is about a serial killer during the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1892. Very well written and extremley interesting.
