I'm not very good at it, and the piano I play is horrendous but I play it.
What type of music do you play?

I do, depends on what you like though, something slow or fast? Classical or modern?
Some ideas:
- a sonata or any piece by a classical composer
- New Age stuff (really nice new age japanese artists around)
- Instrumental piece from an anime

I've played at a couple of recitals. I found out that they usually like listening to sonatinas, waltzes and interesting pieces, but the listeners seem to fall asleep if they are too long. I'd suggest going to a nearby music store and picking up a few books with sonatinas and waltzes in them. Try to pick pieces that are 1-2 pages long and aren't too repetative, I guess.
A friend of mine has some sheet music for you to look through if you want too:

I agree, a short, interesting classical piece would be best. Yet it also depends on the audience; some people are absolutely thrilled when you play the Moonlight Sonata or Für Elise for them, on the other hand, people who play the piano themselves will tend to prefer less common pieces.
And, of course, make sure you're able to play the piece perfectly - if possible by heart - since the atmosphere of a recital usually adds some excitment and thus allows mistakes to slip in easily (at least that's what I've observed over the years).
If you don't feel like buying a book: there's quite a lot of free classical music out there. In any case, listening to a couple of CDs/Mp3s/Samples might give you an idea what a piece sounds like without having to play it first.
Anyway, good luck! ;)

I've played the piano for most of my life, but I'm not really active with it.
I don't really enjoy playing all that much anymore.
How far into November is your recital? If it's late November you should try investing time into practicing holiday songs.

Maybe you should join a class to learn how to play the piano.
