Need a Book

[housenuts]

I need to order a book for this summer. I barely ever read but I'm going away for 5 weeks and figure I'll probably read something. Any suggestions?

I mainly like non-fiction stuff, or stuff that is at least based on real events. Some of the posts here regarding somewhat scientific books sounded pretty cool as well but I don't want anything over my head.

any suggestions appreciated.

"Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman is a good, easy read. It's just a bunch of commentary, nothing educational, but he's pretty funny and insightful.

This is a really, really sweet book.

Also try Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

"The Devil in the White City". Just finished this and it is a great read. All bases on actual events.
