What are you reading right now?

A lady in the office down the hall is trying to convince me to read 50 Shades of Gray. I know it's the latest housewife craze, but have any men actually read this book? Is it worth a read?

i saw a guy buy it at the barnes and noble in sioux falls. he grabbed it quickly in an attempt at discretion, which only drew attention to him. by the time i figured out what actually happened, he was gone. probably for a gf or wife, but to each his own.

Ok...taking a break from politics.

This is the time of year that I am looking for some good books to read til the weather is nice again.

Any suggestions?

I am looking for something non fiction and also non political. Maybe something motivational.

 
Non-fiction? If you haven't read the David McCullough books they are entertaining historical reads. (1776 was the most popular.)

 
I'm moving this to the Lounge since it's not political in nature.

I would recommend The Book Thief. It's set just before and during the early stages of WWII, in Germany, and the narrator is Death. It is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it.

Or from his early work, "Soul of a New Machine." Or really, just about anything else by Tracy Kidder.

/edit: This post is from a different thread that got merged. I think I mentioned Tracy Kidder in a post above.

I knew there were others, I just couldn't find them in a ten-second search. Thanks for the assist. Merged them all into one big repository of books discussions.

No problem boss man.

I started reading "If on a winter's night a traveler" and then I kinda got distracted. It's weird. The only reason I'm reading it is to prepare myself for "Cloud Atlas" which was supposedly inspired by "If on a winter's night a traveler."
