Two strong recommendations

.1. The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Recommended by K (thank you) and a luxury to read. I can't actually describe this book, per se, but rather merely communicate to you the feeling of gentleness into which you will fall almost instantly when you start reading.

.2. Struggling to Surrender by Jeffery Lang. This is an almost too-personal account of a man's near thirty year spiritual journey. So far, it has manaded to anger, challenge, and calm me, as well as dig at my curiosity. This is one of the most powerful books I have ever, ever, ever, ever read. Lang pulls no punches: "You cannot simply read the Qur’an, not if you take it seriously. You either have surrendered to it already or you fight it. It attacks tenaciously, directly, personally; it debates, criticizes, shames, and challenges. From the outset it draws the line of battle, and I was on the other side."
