Non-fiction that reads like a novel:
Memoir:
Right now I'm reading Jennifer Egan's The Keep. It was a slow start, but I'm completely hooked at this point.
And of course this does not count the books I have had to read for seminary. Right now I'm reading two fascinating books for Church History. They feel more like books I want to read than books I have to read: Justo Gonzalez's The Story of Christianity, Volume 1 & Volume 2.
How 'bout you? What have you read lately? What do you recommend?
