Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (David Sedaris) [/ QUOTE ] A couple of his essays are some of the best he's written. It's a different kind of funny from his prior books. [ QUOTE ] The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini) [/ QUOTE ] This is the current book that everyone is reading on the subway. Two years ago it was The Life of Pi.

I am reading Freakonomics almost done. Great book that looks at cause and effect in society.
I also am halfway through Guns, Germs , and Steel. Also good.

Monster - The Autobiography of an LA Gang Member (Sanyika Shakur aka Monster Cody Scott) [/ QUOTE ] That was a good read about a genuine OG. Lately been on a WWII jag. Two I can recommend: Ghost Soldiers Flyboys Currently: In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors - has promise, only 50 pages into it. The Tipping Point - re-reading segments of this thought provoking best seller.
