I've said it before and I'll say it again - you need to be reading Sarah Vowell's books. I just reread The Partly Cloudy Patriot, which reminded me of you.
Anna Karenina! But you knew that. So good. Also, Dear Sugar book, which is perfect to read because I can read just one letter. Down side: they always make me cry.
A Bunch of Amateurs: A Search for the American Character by Jack . I think his central thesis is bogus, but he tells good stories about amateurism in America.
Right now, "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson is my happy diversion from grading. :)

I'm reading the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. I think you would like it! Lots of beautiful fruits and veggies becoming sublime desserts and entrees.
