I do non-fiction mostly Econ/Investing/Social Sciences type stuff...
Recently did "Freakonomics" and "Super Freakonomics". Both were pretty interesting and thought provoking. Among the more controversial of their claims is that the national crime rate drop seen in the 90's was a byproduct of Roe vs. Wade and not better policework, more prisons or strictly enforced laws.
Doing "The Tipping Point" now, also very good.

Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn, may he RIP.
Scarecrow series by Matthew Reiley.
Both solid series, will take you a while to read them all, about 20ish books total.

Excellent book about a SEAL from Arkansas. He had quite an interesting and trying life leading up to the SEALs. One of the best books I've read.
