I am on the last chapter of "H is for Hawk".
It is a good book. It is about a person dealing with depression from the loss of her father while training a new hawk in falconry. Pretty cool.

Hm, it's not exactly a book, but one of the best videos I have seen so far since I got platinum member (and yes, I watch a lot).
Since I am a bookworm, I could post the learnings of the video (I wrote them down...) if you guys are interested (if so, where? This does not seem to be the right post?).

I read this one a while ago and I liked it. I just read a book called "Mind Hacking" where this guy gives you some techniques to basically recognize negative patterns in your thinking that affect your life and replace them with positive ones. I found it an interesting read and helpful as well.
I enjoyed "Weapons of Mass Diplomacy", which is a graphic novel from France. I read it in English translation, laughing in a couple places. The protagonists write speeches for a French official during the time when weapons of mass destruction were forever in the U.S. news media (2002, 2003). I thought it was refreshing to see these portrayals as human beings rather than as scandalous.
Oh, I just realized, that you were not asking for chess books but for others, sorry. My answer therefore was a bit misplaced....
I read this one on vacation lately. Nice book, especially if you happened to be hit by a meteor lately (just kidding...). 
I bet you read a good book recently. Tell us about it!
