I've read a lot of good stuff this year but right now I am reading Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign correspondent (1934-1941) by William Shirer.
I got it on the kindle because it was only $3.00. I am about halfway through & it just might be the best book I've read this year.
It's a fascinating perspective on Nazi Germany from someone who was there at the time (at least until 1941) and its kind of interesting to read something with the foresight of what is to come that the author does not know (although I am impressed with what the author predicted on his own) . It is also a really interesting look at the media of the time. For example the radio was just stating to be used for international broadcasts (and the author was a part of that development).
Just a note the book does have some things that might make people uncomfortable today (like the use of the term Jap), but keep in mind when it was written.
