I recommend Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown - that's just off the top of my head. I think I will go through my Amazon wish list to suggest more books.

This book sounds very interesting: Teacher Man : A Memoir - especially since we have a few teachers among us.
A review of this book reads like this: "A dazzling writer with a unique and compelling voice, McCourt describes the dignity and difficulties of a largely thankless profession with incisive, self-deprecating wit and uncommon perception. It may have taken him three decades to figure out how to be an effective teacher, but he ultimately saved his most valuable lesson for himself: how to be his own man."
Night, by Elie Wiesel,Stella Rodway,Francois Mauriac seems like a very compelling read as well. This apparently is a moving record of the holocaust - Wiesel's own experiences in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald.
By way of recommendation from Jeremy R.: Never at Rest : A Biography of Isaac Newton
