At my previous job one of my co-workers bought this for my birthday. I read a lot of the old books when I was little, but I'd never read this one. This was my first perusal of the first Nancy Drew book.

Both books are well worth your while. The subject matter made the Bluest Eye the most difficult to read of the two, but it was also the better book. My daughter had to read it for class and I got the book when she was through with it. There are a lot of little things in this book that would make for some interesting discussion. I hope your copy has an afterwards.

Moon Palace was my first Paul Auster book, and I too have decided to read more from Auster. Well written, interesting characters, and the desire to find out how he was going to reveal three generations of the same family when he started with a character than knew almost nothing about his own father made it a page turner.
 
The Five People You Meet in Heaven -- Mitch Albom
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- J.K. Rowling

I'm finding his characters to be incredibly diverse and very well-portrayed. Lots of characters too and he introduces them in a very fluid way and not just battering you with names left and right.
