Well, if its not too late, here are some random suggestions from among my own recent reading choices.
One Red Paperclip. A guy trades his way up from a paperclip to something somewhat bigger.
Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue. English and how it got to be as weird as it is, in ways that we don't think about.
The Walking Dead. Zombies. Lots and lots of zombies.
World War Z. Even more zombies.
Mistakes Were Made (but not by me). Why people continue to believe stuff that is totally wrong. Kinda appropriate for this forum.
I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
