Mr Pip by Lolyd Jones is a great read - I know I've mentioned it on here before but it really is that good, its a short book and easy read but very powerful.
I would also recommend:
The Girls by Lori Lansens, a story about conjoined twins
This Book Will save Your Life - this is about a guy who gets his enthusiasm for life back quite literally through buying doughnuts
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time - about a boy with OCD
and
anything by Alexander McCall Smith - either the Lady Detective series or the 44 Scotland Street series, the characters are hilariously eccentric
