Moneyball. I'm no longer a big baseball fan, but to me much of this book is about seeing the world differently. Also, I found it interesting the way the ideas of two guys who had experienced failure came together.
Recently, I finished Open, by Agassi. A wonderful book about a lot more than tennis.

I'm currently reading Charmed Circle, a book about Gertrude Stein and her group of friends. It paints a very interesting picture of many of the famous artists and writers of the time as well as a look at Paris through two world wars. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Emory's Gift by W. Bruce Cameron. It's his follow up to his bestselling A Dog's Purpose.

I read The Devil in the White City ages ago and found at first that it was the gruesome murder mystery portion that kept me involved, but by the end, it was the story of the architects of the World Fair that I enjoyed the most and stayed with me. I live in Chicago, and they do a tour now based on that book - pretty cool.kelstan wrote:The Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen and something by Nora Roberts (the name escapes me just now)

Re: What are you currently reading?
I just saw a similar post to this and answered, and now I just saw this one, so I'll paste in the same answer.
I'm reading a few books at the moment! One of them is READ THIS NEXT: And Discover Your 500 New Favourite Books by Sandra Newman, which is basically an excuse for me to say 'Well, I read somewhere that such and such is an amazing book and I simple had to buy it!' I'm always looking for new things to read, and rather than just browsing Amazon.com as I so often do, I thought I'd see what comes recommended from this book!
Then again, I do take notice of other recommendations, too! My best friend recommended that I read Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, which is based on the author's life. He'd been imprisoned for 19 years, and it's the story of his when he went to Bombay after escaping, in broad daylight, from a maximum security prison! Doesn't that just grip you and make you want to read more? I love it when a book does that to me!
Also, because I'm an avid sewer and want to open up my own online craft store on Etsy, I am reading (almost finished!) Etsy Success - How To Make a Full-Time Income Selling Jewelry, Crafts, and Other Handmade Items Online by Kathleen Donovan, which is basically my way of building up my confidence and make sure I understand everything before I jump in and open the shop.
And lastly I'm reading Women of the Suffrage Movement by Lydia Bjornlund, because I find the whole fight for the equality of women and right to vote a fascinating subject and wanted to get a better insight into it! This particular book is focused on the American Women's Suffrage Movement, though I'm also very interested in the British movement, so if anyone knows any good books on the subject, please let me know!

I'm reading Christopher Hitchens' Hitch-22, and plan on moving to Basic Writings of Nietzsche.
