What are you reading? (recommendations?)

Hi all - I was reading the rec.music.afro-latin Usenet newsgroup and came
across this observation:

"Thanks for the book recommendations. I used to ask librarians for
suggestions till i learned their dirty little secret- They dont have time to
read."

I'm convinced some of us do read...:-) So, any suggestions for good books
to read this summer? (I like romance novels, but anything
thought-provoking and not gratuitously, graphically, or exceedingly
violent will do - no books about serial murderers). Set in a foreign
country would be nice, too (the quote above was related to a request for
books about Cuba), but mainly interested in really good books to read.
Any relevance to law or government, ways of maintaining social order,
rules of behavior, would be a plus too. Fiction or non-fiction.

Please contact me off-list at llou@midway.uchicago.edu with suggestions.
I'd like to broaden my horizons...:-)

Thanks!
Lyo.
