I recently finished Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (from the Portable Harvard Classics), and On Intelligence by Palm founder Jeff Hawkins. They were both really fantastic. Also recently finished Michael Connelly's Black Ice, which was a solid and fun read about a mystery from a policeman's perspective with murder, drug smugglers, and some adventures in Mexico.

Oh.. and I'm currently reading American General by Tommy Franks, Journal of John Woolman (who started off much of the movement against slavery in America) also from Portable Harvard Classics, and A Brief History of Nearly Everything (which is a laymans very nice multi-year effort to take science and make it interesting). All three of these are also turning out to be great choices.

But I wish I could get through a good book as fast as I can watch a good movie!
