I'm currently reading "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. It is a pretty long, intense, draining book, but is incredibly well written and very, very good. It's about a Christian missionary family in the Congo in the early 60s when the country was struggling with independence. It's not really a topic I'd choose to read about, but I've read all of Barbara Kingsolver's novels thus far, and have never been disappointed. She is a wonderfully gifted writer.
