    Non Fiction

    I'm currently reading Charlie Wilson's War (by George Crile). It's the true story about the CIA's involvement in the Afghan-Russian conflict. One of the best non-fiction books I've read in the last couple of years is The Devil's Highway (by Luis Alberto Urrea). It changed my perspective on the immigration issue - puts a face and name on a lot of the nameless. Another good one: Devil in the White City (by Erik Larson). It tells the true story of the events leading up to and surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, while at the same time chronicling the activities of a serial killer in the same area. It gives a great historical background on Chicago, too. Waiting for me next is Miracle in the Andes... (by Nando Parrado). It's a first person account of the Uruguayan rugby team that crashed in the Andes (remember the movie "Alive"), but more importantly it helps put life, and what's in it, in perspective. I can't wait to read it. 90% of what I read is non-fiction, and I can offer some more if these don't do it for ya. But I don't think you can miss with any of these. **Edit - My 1000th post. Woohoo!**
