Recommend some books for me

I can also highly recommend Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, which I finished not too long ago. I balked at it for a long time because of all the Boomer/hippie hype, and expected much of it to be drippy, free-love type stuff. But then the fey, messianic hero of the piece starts literally disintegrating S.W.A.T. teams with his mind, and suddenly it got a lot more interesting.

There were parts that dragged & others I had to push myself through, but it was worth it, and it's definitely a book that stays with you for a while afterwards.
 
I can't really come up with anything profound, since my coursework tends to eat up any interest I'd have in stuff along those lines.

I just finished My War Gone By, I Miss It So, which was kind of a cute read, although you shouldn't expect any shocking revelations about the real reasons behind the breakup of Yugoslavia or anything.

I've mentioned this one before and it is still one of my favorites - "Women of the Four Winds" by Elizabeth Fagg Olds - 1985.
