I also recently read "I know this much is true" by Wally Lamb. My daughter read it, and gave it to me. I didn't get around to reading it for probably...1.5-2 years. It sat, literally, on my piano for that long. (I just moved it from one side to the other when I dusted .

Finally, I broke down and read it after she kept nagging and nagging and nagging me. WOW. It is an excellent book...well actually a story within a story ending with the redemption of the human spirit.

I recommend it as well. It is not a fast read, as it can be complicated when you are reading in first person voice (and the side story is in first person voice of another). Very image-filled and emotionally evocative.
