Book Recommendation Request

I've been looking over my 'to read' list lately (it's obscenely huge!) and I've noticed it's almost entirely composed of fantasy and science fiction. Now, I love me some sf/f and there's certainly enough of it out there to keep me busy for years, but occasionally, something different is nice. So, here's a challenge to you all:

Please recommend some books you think I'd like that fall outside my usual genres.
