I'd love to do this, fiction or nonfic. Some suggestions (based on what's stacked by the bed right now): Living Downstream (non-f., by Sandra Steingraber, about cancer-causing environmental hazards in her hometown), Our Babies, Ourselves(also non-f., by Meredith Small, an anthropological study of how babies are raised in a variety of cultures around the world), Daughter of the Queen of Sheba (non-f, a journalist's memoir of her mentally ill mother), Working or Gig (the first by Studs Terkel--I'd read anything he wrote-- and the second a 90's version, both chronicle the reflections of men and women on the work they do, from SAHM's to film makers to gas station attendents), and anything fiction that's not sci-fi (unless it's by Octavia Butler or Marge Piercy, two I've liked in my limited but biased experience). I'm ripe for some new, fabulous fiction, so, I guess that would be my first choice.
