Reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It's an incredible novel, but very dense and over 1000 pages. It's a trek, but has been so worth it so far.
"This is Running for Your Life", a collection of essays by Michelle Orange. She writes about a trip to Beirut and her grandmother's death to discuss our cuture's relationship with nostalgia and death. Very witty and fascinating - I ook forward to reading her next book.
Very interesting if you're a freelancer or building products. I'm 1/3 through the book. Goes a lot into how to create trust and how to adjust your sales and marketing based on the trust you've created.
Most useful explanation I have found to explain why the pre-internet age grown-ups (that would also be me) get stuck thinking that facts remain always the same.
The Emperor's New Mind by Sir Roger Penrose. It's a very accessible and highly fascinating discussion about whether machines will ever be able to emulate the human mind.

Re-reading it for the one millionth time. Always learn something new from it.
