I'm reading Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappé (an Israeli academic), it's pretty interesting so far. I think it's supposed to be an introduction to Israel and Palestine and aimed at people who don't know anything about it, so if anyone's curious, I might recommend it (I haven't finished it yet so I can't say if it's good or not).

We Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong is about microbes inside us and animals and I have no idea why I read it, but it was difficult to read because I'm terrible at biology. Still cool though

Edit: Oh, I didn't realise this is the fiction comm. Oops. I guess I don't read any challenging fiction books. Maybe I should rectify that
