Man, I read the most boring stuff usually. I've read recently: The Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, A Season on the Reservation by Kareem Abdul Jabbar, The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevara, The Chase by Clive Cussler, Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Frederich Nietzsche, Coaching Basketball Successfully by Morgan Wootten and currently (but probably won't finish it b/c it's awful) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
