If anyone is interested, I recently finished two very good non-fiction books (I'm usually a fiction-only kind of girl):
Pox: Genius, Madness, and the Mysteries of Syphilis, by Deborah Hayden
and
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach
Pox is a great one for fiction lovers, since it covers everyone from Christopher Columbus to Oscar Wilde to Adolf Hitler, but mostly focuses on authors and poets of the 19th Century.
