Right now, I'm reading The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester, Callahan's Con by Spider Robinson, and Theory and History and Theory of Money and Credit, both by Ludwig von Mises. I'm reading the latter two on my breaks while working at the Elmer Andersen archives at the U of Mn.

The Wild Swans by Jung Chang
Thre generations of Chinese women in in the political maelstrom of China during the 20th century.

The author, born in 1952, left China in 1978 and her discovery
of the culture of freedom in Great Britain, is extraordinary. Her mother, a revolutionary who married one of Mao's soldiers; and her grandmother, concubine to a warlord are a microcosm of the horror and heartbreak of the past hundred years in that country.

It's surely not a speed read, but it was an important period of history and the narrative is fascinating.
