Infinite Jest.

David Foster Wallace's masterclass in post-structuralist fiction that is "a gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the pursuit of happiness in America" and undoubtedly one of the most landscape-shifting novels of the 20th century. Never read it before, though I've read a bunch of his short stories, essays and articles. Very good so far. Definitely recommended.

Wine & War- a chronicle of the efforts of French vignerons during WWII to protect their wines from the Germans.  Granted, it's probably more interesting to me as I know a lot of these families (but didn't know of their wartime activities), but still it's a good read.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE PREMISE OF "THE SECRET OF SANTA VITTORIA", ONLY IT WAS THE ITALIANS HIDING WINE FROM THE GERMANS. WONDER IF ROBERT CRICHTON GOT THE IDEA FROM THAT?
