<p>I can't think atm and want to know some good books to read...I like pretty much any kind of fiction book and depending on who, some autobiographies.</p>
<p>Currently reading “Let the Great World Spin” by Colum McCann. Really good book, I really like it. It has a bunch of chapters all from different points of view, but all connected and dealing with the same events so you see what lead each character to where they are.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in fiction that has an alternative spin on history, I’d recommend the Yiddish Policemen’s Union, by Michael Chabon. The characters are ridiculously detailed and the writing style makes the book emit a “charm” of sorts. The story revolves around the premise that during WWII, a temporary settlement for Jewish refugees was established in Western Alaska (Israel was also unsuccessfully established in this alt. timeline, being bombed by the Arabs a few years after its founding). The story also goes in-depth into how the relationship between two “out-of-place” races (in this case, the Native Tlingit Alaskan’s and Yiddish Jews) can portray the consequences of raw politics. All in all, the book has a great mix of mystery, comic-relief and the “kitsch.” I can guarantee you’ll enjoy the oddities of this book. :)</p>
<p>At the moment I’m reading Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell, and just finished Bleak House by Dickens. If you like Victorian literature/Charles Dickens, you would likely enjoy Gaskell. So far, I’m enjoying Ruth, but not as much as I did North and South, which is one of my favorites.</p>
<p>I saw this and couldn’t resist suggesting the new Tina Fey autobiography–it’s truly hysterical whether you’re a fan of hers or not. It’s probably a little less intellectual than what the other three people suggested but it’s a very quick, light, and fun read! Plus, if you’re interested in theater, the film industry, or just plain writing, it gives some nice insight.</p>
