I like Pat Conroy's novels and if you want to learn something check out anything by the late Neil Postman.

I've added all 3 of those of my incredibly long list of books to read. I add books faster than I can read them.

I've read the Dalai Llama's "The Art of Happiness". It's life changing, and I believe very accessible to most Westerners.

Another good one is Thich Nhat Hanh's "Living Buddha, Living Christ". It's an interesting look at how Buddhism and Christianity complement each other. It's very thought provoking for a person like myself who was taught a strict fundamentalist view of Christianity, and who doesn't want to throw out her traditions, but rather, expand upon them.

Tom Clancy books were always entertaining.
