If you liked the NDS Cosmos run, try

It's a great read if you're into science and how it developed over time.

I have to recommend you a quality book.

http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-SOUL-Ahmet-M-Rahmanovic/dp/1450040640

This book, unlike any others, gives a face to all the actors in the Bosnian tragedy. In gripping war-action thriller, Rahmanovic takes readers from the battle-torn hills of Sarajevo to the streets of Chicago, where one man journeys to find new meaning in his life. Can he escape the horrors of memory in a foreign land, or will it continue to haunt him?

Great book about guy who will end up in Chicago during the war in Yugoslavia.

sadly it gets less interesting as it goes

peaks in hell

but truly a seminal and brilliant work that, more than anything, changed the modern western idea of the afterlife

Reading the kids Harry Potter too. A chapter a night, now on the 5th book. Boy does that series fall apart. Might switch to the Hobbit or Narnia soon.

I also saw the animated movie.

Also like the Illiad a whole lot as well as Beowulf. Not the easiest things to read but something about it just makes it really more interesting to me.
