I like to read a mixture of fact and fiction, usually alternating between the two.
One of my favourite books is Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown - the true story of the persecution of the North American Indians at the hands of the white man. A very moving, well written book.
I have just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy which was fantastic.
Currently reading The White Lioness by Henning Mankell. It's the first I have read of his but it's pretty good so far.
Other faves are:
In Harm's Way by Doug Stanton - the true story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis when hundreds died and many more survived in shark infested waters for days while their colleagues were being eaten around them - very harrowing.
In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
And the Ass Saw The Angel - Nick Cave
For an easy read I have also read everything by James Patterson & Harlan Coben.
