I just finished "The Bear went over the Mountain" by William Kotzwinkle. The title may sound juvenile, but the book certainly is not. It's a satire about book publishing, and it made me laugh out loud more than once. I loaned it to my dad when I finished, and he couldn't put it down -- read it in one day.

The Hours, by Michael Cunningham, if you haven't read it already. The movie is good, but the book is much better.
Also, I just picked up Anderson Cooper's book, and what I've read of that so far has been really good.

the mainstay of my reading diet has always been science fiction and fantastic fiction.
social and political commentary in very idealistic and not SO idealistic settings.
if you consider that all stories whether they are non-fiction or fiction are about us.. " humans" in all our diversity and culture's.
so give a few fantasy books a whirl, who knows maybe the pictures they paint will inspire you to dream the impossible.
a few of my fav authors - terry brooks - David eddings - tad Williams - and one of my fav authors with slightly lighter reading -Robert aspirin.
but re -reading classic literature can still be very entertaining, i just finished a book anthology of -sir Arthur Conan Doyle- "Sherlock Holmes" mysteries and still love them just as much as i did when i was in school ....
