Wow, why isn't Writer's Block like this more often?
I'd usually recommend something full of fantasy and plot and suchlike, something at the start of a series that would guarantee reading material for months, something like Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, but the timing is right for this one...
You have 13 days to read Neil Gaiman's Coraline before the film comes out. It's about a girl with normal parents, the kind that love her but never have time for her. She goes wandering, finds a secret door and emerges in a world full of Doppelgangers with buttons for eyes. Her new parents love her and shower her in attention... but maybe a bit too much.
Then things go all creepy and there's also a cat, so you should read it.
Also, the film is directed by Henry Selick (the guy what did Nightmare Before Christmas.)
