Culture Matters: How Values Shape Human Progress - Edited by Lawrence E. Harrison and Samuel P. Huntington
If you like non-fiction, economics and/or political science, it's a very interesting book
Not to mention, it doesn't need to be read straight through since each chapter is basically an essay by a different person on various related topics. However, there are arguments and counter-arguments made throughout the text, so it doesn't hurt to read it in order.
Of course, not many people get entertainment out of non-fiction reading. Oh well.
