I just read a book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali called "Infidel", which is a very powerful book. It's about her life growing up in Somalia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, etc., then immigrating to Holland. I found it fascinating because it gave me an insight into a totally foreign culture.

Another book I recently read, which is fiction, but I thought was very interesting, was "Noble House" by James Clavell.

If you love animals, "The Parrot's Lament" by Eugene Linden is very interesting, and it's non-fiction. My husband and I went to hear him speak a few years ago, he is a very entertaining speaker, and many of the stories in the book are wonderful.

I'm reading The Colour Purple at the mo. It's total feminist stuff but it's a classic. I think thats where Fay Weldon got her inspiration for The life & Loves of A She Devil-both are movies. for non-fiction that includes biography just take your pick from current best sellers or people that inspire you, they come ready-approved.

I'm kind of on the other end of the spectrum, I mostly read fiction. Right now I'm reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, it's a sci-fi but it has a deeper meaning to it, it's not Star Wars or anything. As for non-fiction, have you ever read Memoirs of a Geisha? A lot of people have already read it, it's very popular, but if you haven't it's a really good read.
