Which books should I take to the beach?

I seem to have too much time on my hands today. I was looking at my bookshelf, trying to figure out what books I should pick to take with me on vacation in June. But I can't decide. So, I thought I'd ask my fellow bloggers for their recommendations.

Vote below for the books you would recommend. Feel free to add one that you think would be a great choice!

UPDATE: Thank you for everyone that participated in my decision-making by voting! I have taken a lot of your recommendations into consideration, and chosen the following books to take with me on vacation: The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd; Murder with Mirrors by Agatha Christie; Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See; Climbing the Mango Trees by Jaffrey Madhur, and Le Divorce by Diane Johnson.

I voted for Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, but would also recommend The Mermaid Chair. I haven't read any of the others. Have a wonderful, relaxing time at the beach.

I suggest to read some books with happy ending for the trip. Or, something to cheer you up and brighten up your day. :)

I've only read Snow Flower, but it was an amazing story. Gets my vote!
