Seabiscuit is the best book I've read in a while. It is page-turning non-fiction. It is also easy to find a used copy. I bought mine at Goodwill for $1. Another book, Unbroken, which is by the same author, got excellent reviews, but I haven't picked that one up yet.

I'm reading Horns by Joe Hill. Quite imaginative.
Amazon.com: Horns: A Novel (9780061147951): Joe Hill: Books
I got an ebook version from the library.

Count of Monte Cristo: best revenge story ever. Ruthless!
Flyboys by James Bradley: Nonfiction but reads like fiction.
Atlas Shrugged: Regardless of your political affiliation, it's a good read and makes you think.
