Am sending reading mat'l to son in Afganistan. He loved Shadow Divers, snoozed at Devil in the White City. What's a good source for recommendations that he might enjoy?

I'm reading "Measuring the World" by Daniel Kehlmann, a best-seller in Germany last year. It's a novel of two great intellectuals, that is, Gauss (mathematician) and Humboldt (scientist).
