I am about 1/4 through reading Laura Hildenbrand's Unbroken on my Kindle - fascinating story!
In the car I am listening to, and about halfway through, Ken Follet's World Without End - the sequel to his equally lengthy Pillars of the Earth. This audio book is on 36 CDs! I think it's a new record for long books for me. Very interesting story, but I think I liked Pillars better.
In the last couple of months I have read Franzen's Freedom, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Bill Bryson's At Home but did not enjoy them so much as I had expected to.
I really liked The Girl Who Played with Fire, My Nine Lives (Leon Fleischer autobiography) and The Thousand Autums of Jacob de Zoet

Just read ....The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks ... intense, exciting and very sad. A must read if you're interested in American history and science.
