It's interesting and everything, but it feels like a textbook. Too many facts. And after hearing my social psychology talk about Philip Zimbardo, it seems really biased.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of him.
I know it's a kids book, but I read
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (one of the girls I babysit was obsessed so I had to see what the fuss was about) and it's actually pretty good.

Yeah, the introduction by Nancy Springer warns the reader of that, but I still want to read it. I really like the ideas that he's presented in the few pages of the book that I've gotten through so far.

Still reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Almost done though. BRILLIANT.
When I'm done I'm planning to read
Stumbling Upon Happiness by Dan Gilbert, which I'm excited about because I bought the book before watching his TED talk on happiness (which was great), then realized he wrote the book.
After that I'm planning to pick up a few Briane Greene books, probably will start with
The Fabric of the Cosmos or
The Elegant Universe, depending on how much of my brain I want to use...
...I have no interest in reading fiction anymore.

Except maybe Harry Potter but since that's done with...I don't know when the next time I'll read a novel will be.
EDIT// Oh and I can't forget
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I've seen it around for years but haven't really picked it up...but will read it this summer.

i have a problem with interest in fiction too. i like good fiction, i just don't really know how to find good fiction

i read
The Devil Wears Prada, and it was nice to get away from non fiction but now i'm stuck again.
my problem with non fiction though is that i can't just pick it up and read it anytime. i have a ton and can always find a ton of non fiction books to read. they take me longer though because i usually don't want to sit down and read 100 pages at a time when i'm reading about "heavy" subjects.
the god delusion was pretty good. i have two other dawkins books waiting on my bookshelf for me still.
