just finished The Lovely Bones (Alice Sebold) and Fast Food Nation (Eric Schlosser).

both were rivetting, and incredible. i really want to get more into non-fiction, i feel like my brain is rotting and novels (although amazing) aren't really helping. any suggestions? on my list so far are "Guns, Germs, & Steel", "Collapse", "A Million Litte Pieces" (quasi non-fiction), and "The World is Flat".

edit: ooh, ooh, and "Blink".

I'm reading this book right now.
So far it's pretty hilarious.
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood pal.

by Christopher Moore

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiahs best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).

Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Saviors pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But theres no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isnt about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

i read the first one, but i wasn't very impressed. i found that erikson jumped around too much. i'll give the second one (the one you're reading) a shot, but if he doesn't make a lasting impression....
