Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
This is an engaging, moving book about four children whose parents, although very bright, educating and creative live a nomadic and very dysfunctional life. Jeannette Walls goes into detail about very disturbing conditions that they have to endure and yet she also shows the compassion and determination of the children to survive and pursue a better life.
Stiff by Mary Roach
If you enjoy books about medicine, but not too serious, you just may enjoy Roach's book Stiff. This is an informative book about cadavers, with a bit of humor to take off the edge. It is very enlightening book that provides both a historical view of cadavers and also how they are used to solve crimes. If you like the element of solving criminalcases, with a bit of historical medicine mixed with some humor this may like to try this non-fiction title.
