Right now I'm reading Survivor by Chuck Palahnuik. It's his typical crazy main character, but is interesting in the set-up. The main character is telling his life story about being the last survivor of a cult in the black box on a plane before the 4 engines die and he crashes. I've liked all of his books, but I think this is one of my favorites. It even gives home-ec tips..although I'm not sure if they are true or not.
I also read Kindred by Octavia Butler which is an awesome book about time travel. A black woman is pulled from her 1970's world to slave days in the south. She is summoned by a boy from that time whenever his life is in danger. It's very interesting to read about the times back then in a fiction setting. However, it sticks with you and I actually had dreams I was the main character and would wake up screaming thinking I was getting whipped or punished in the ways she was. Very realistic, enjoyable, and thought provoking.
