Good Books?
I'm in the mood for some good reading material but need suggestions. I read far more non-fiction than fiction but will read on almost any topic so . . . what do you recommend?
I also read fiction so feel free to add your favorite fiction to the list as well.
Thanks in advance.

Some non-fiction I've enjoyed:
Wild Swans - personal stories of 3 generations of Chinese women, intertwined with Chinese history.
A Thread Across the Ocean - incredible story of the first cable across the Atlantic
Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History - this is more one you dip in and out of, but really fascinating. More like a series of essays, with lovely art work.
A lot of the fiction I read is fantasy and sci/fi, which I'm not sure is your thing, so I won't recommend it. I did really enjoy The Rosie Project.
