I am currently reading "the bell jar" by Sylvia Plath. So far, the thing I like about it is the way she can describe certain internal feelings that we all have and can't put words to. I just finished "Water for Elephants" by Sarah Gruen. I loved that book. It's a story about a circus in depression era U.S.A.
Just finished 'Hopes and Prospects' by Noam Chomsky. Pretty good stuff - a lot of old stuff updated to include Obamas term. Starting on a Michael Moore Biography.
