Lately I've needed to do a lot of reading of statute, code, case law, and professional standards (found on state-run/official sites). I've also recently read some studies on PubMed related to a medical condition. So both of these are done out of issues I'm facing in life.
Books that I've read recently are also nonfiction, but more related to hobbies and skills. Stuff like Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, Natural Pest and Disease Control, and Defensive Tactics.
Maybe if you want to start reading more, you can pick shorter material. If you like technology and nostalgia/unoffical history, then you might like the articles in The Best of 2600.
