Katie,
It's well worth persevering with the Rabbit books. They are pretty downbeat- in the sense that life's a bit disappointing in the end. But just the scope of reading about someone's life from early twenties to death is amazing. Plus I love Updike's prose.
My recommendation would be 'Couples', probably my favourite Updike book. Also 'Marry Me' and 'Month of Sundays'. Unfortunately his last one 'Terrorist' wasn't great, but in his prime he was amazing.
